City employees receive honor

On behalf of the South Dakota Public Assurance Alliance and the SDML Workers' compensation fund, the employees of the city of Vermillion were presented a Silver Level Loss Control/Safety Award at the South Dakota Municipal League's Annual Conference in Sioux Falls on Wednesday, Oct. 5.

This award honors the employees for their efforts in protecting the assets of the city of Vermillion by making the workplace safer for employees, reducing liability exposures and saving the taxpayers' dollars, through loss control.

The City of Vermillion was one of four that received a Silver Level and one of 25 recognized for their safety and loss control efforts. This is the third time they received an award.
