City of Kirksville recognizes retirement of Steve Peterson

(Kirksville, MO) - The City of Kirksville would like to recognize Steve Peterson following his retirement on December 2, 2024, after 15 years and four months of service.

Peterson began his career with the City on July 13, 2009. He has served continuously as a Mechanic with the Public Works Department.

The City relies on mechanics to keep vehicles safe and operable, and equipment in top form and ready for use. From snowplows, police cruisers, firetrucks, backhoes, emergency generators, and everything in between, Peterson likely worked on all equipment at some point.

Mechanics usually operate in the background, but their work is crucial to the operation of nearly all City departments.

The City of Kirksville congratulates Peterson on his retirement, thanks him for his service, and wishes him the best in his future endeavors.
