Marshalltown City Councilman Gabe Isom listens to City Administrator Jessica Kinser explain a housing development partnership which is underway near Olive Street. She brought the project to the council to determine interest and get more direction on whether or not the city should get involved.
Whether or not the City of Marshalltown will get involved in a housing development partnership remains to be seen. At the regular Monday meeting, City Administrator Jessica Kinser told the Marshalltown City Council about a partnership between HCI and JBS to build a multi-family residential complex south of Olive Street.
Officer Stephen Sheets credits the team around him for making a difficult year exceptional.
Sheets is the Marshalltown Police Department Employee of the Year. He is among several nominees considered by the awards committee.
“He is one of the most humble people I have ever met. Officer Sheets just wants to help people,” said Chief Mike Tupper. “He cares about Marshalltown. Officer Sheets comes to work each day with a positive attitude and is someone who can be relied upon to get the job done.”
Sheets has served with the department for more than seven years. He was with the Marshall County Jail prior to joining the force.
