Dakota City has a pair of new city public works employees and both started at nearly the same time. Aaron Benz predated Brad Duffy by a few days. Both men are now working full-time for the city, taking care of city streets and sewers, municipal water and wastewater, recycling hauling and taking care of the public park in town.
Both men come from backgrounds in construction and labor.
Benz and Duffy have been working with Brian Klein of Whittemore, operator of North Iowa Environmental. The Dakota City Council recently hired Klein to serve as an affidavit operator for the city’s water and wastewater treatment operations while Benz and Duffy obtain training and work toward obtaining their Stage 1 license.
