The Frankfort Street Department is recognizing a major milestone as employee Jerry Leonard marks 25 years of dedicated service to the City of Frankfort.
Throughout his tenure, Leonard has played a key role in daily operations, contributing years of hands-on work that have helped keep city services running smoothly. About eight years ago, he took on the responsibility of managing the city’s recycling program, working to maintain and support its continued operation.
In recent years, Leonard has transitioned into a role at the department’s guard shack, where he is often the first point of contact for visitors. Staff say he consistently greets residents and coworkers with professionalism, a friendly wave, and conversation, helping set a welcoming tone for the department.
Leonard is also a military veteran and is known among colleagues as a dedicated family man who brings a sense of humor to the workplace.
City officials say his 25 years of service reflect long-term commitment, adaptability, and pride in public service. The department expressed appreciation for his contributions and encouraged the community to join in congratulating him on the milestone.
