Jeffersonville. Building Commissioner Russ Segraves commented that 911 Dispatch would
double check the street names and if there are doubles when placing them into the system. City

steps that need to be taken to follow State Statute. Rick Lovan stated that the street name will be
looked into and brought up under Old Business at next week's Board of Public Works meeting.
