SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The target date for Sioux Falls city employees to return to buildings if they’ve been working remotely is August 24, the city’s human service director Bill O’Toole said at an Aug. 4 budget meeting.
O’Toole said the return to the work site plan has been a phased in approach to having workers return to the physical work environment.

The city of Sioux Falls has 1,304 full time employees and 248 part-time equivalents, O’Toole said.
