Chief Edinger says the investigation is active and on-going, and asks anyone with information regarding the incident to call Jamestown Police at 701-252-1000.

 

Jamestown (CSi)  The Jamestown City Council held a budget meeting on Tuesday afternoon, at City Hall.  All members were present.

Tami Dillman from Central Valley Health District spoke concerning the proposed signage in the community to promote safe walking route.  She said funding comes form a grant from Blue Cross/Blue Shield.   She outlined the route, joined by Jamestown Tourism Director Searle Swedlund.  Tami has also met with Harold Sadd concerning posting signs.

The route is a mile and a half, with signage pointing out attractions, including the Hansen Arts Park and the Basilica of St James.  Searle pointed out the route will include the  tourismTalking Trail signs.

The committee recommends approved the proposal.

 

The City Council then considered the renewal of the Jamestown Tourism agreement and the Jamestown Public Site lease.  The council moved to allow Pam Phillips to vote, being a member of the tourism board.

With the agreement, Swedlund asked to return to the formula of a percentage of funds received in tax revenues.  The projection for 2017 is $359,500 in hospitality funds.

The committee recommends moving the item to the City Council without recommendation.

 

Discussion was also held on curbside recycling in Jamestown.

Renaissance Recycling in Jamestown, and Dakota Sanitation of Bismarck, have submitted proposals, and was discussed  before revisiting the 2017 city Sanitation Budget.    http://csinewsnow.com/?p=106268

 

City Administrator Jeff Fuchs explained the logistics, and costs of automated collections, pointing out the use of two dual-arm trucks, with no backup unit in the event a unit goes down.

Two rear loading trucks will be used, and three roll off trucks.  Funds exist for the purchase of one automated truck, with the other truck and carts purchases to be funding by loans.  The carts will varying in size.

The automated recycling program would eliminate six positions.

The recycling is estimated to totally collect 1300 to 2000 tons, annually, at an estimated cost of $4.65 per month, for the automated recycling program, including single family homes, mobile homes and apartments.  The cost for carts would be an additional amount.

Fuchs said the costs were determined in order to pay for the anticipated costs.

Under Pay as you Throw, there will be a fee for disposal at the landfill for residents.

 

Mayor Andersen said that the proposal from Renaissance Recycling is her preferred recycler, based on costs, with a monthly fee of $17.50 per month with implementation in July of 2017, with Pay as you Throw.  A five year contract with a five year renewal.

Rick Anderson from Dakota Sanitation of Bismarck suggested curbside, instead of alley pick ups, due some logistic problems, concerning clearance and utility wires.

Mayor Andersen said 60 percent of Jamestown resident have alley pick up, and the proposal specified alley recycling.  She said the city and vendors will work together concerning automated pick ups.

 

The committee recommends starting contract negotiations and contract drafts with Renaissance Recycling of Jamestown.

 

Joan Morris from the City Beautification Committee has questions on the calculation of the recycling rates, and fees.  Mayor Andersen said the numbers will likely be refined, and that the calculations will be discussed between City Beautification and City Administrator  Jeff Fuchs.

 

Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce Executive, Becky Thatcher-Keller thanked the city for moving forward with a recycling plan.

 

The meeting then moved on to the final Review of the 2017, budget.

City Administrator Fuchs said the budget will include recycling when finalized  recycling numbers are reached.

The property tax increase amounts to 3.54% increase, while the Mill Levy actually decreases from 101.92 Mills to 98.38 Mills, based on property valuations.

The budget will be moved to the full City Council for consideration.

Valley City  (CSi-VCSU)  Valley City State University freshmen and their upperclass mentors will harvest squash on Thursday, Sept. 29, 2016, at an area farm for distribution throughout North Dakota via the Great Plains Food Bank.

About 215 VCSU students—as part of their Learning to Live, Living to Learn (L2L) class—will be bused to a farm northwest of Valley City owned by Dan Faust, a retired Lutheran pastor. There they will join with community volunteers organized by Faust to pick squash and other farm produce and load it onto semi-trailers for the Great Plains Food Bank, which will then transport the produce to food shelters and community pantries for use by those in need throughout the state.

This is the sixth year for the annual project; last year the group harvested 61,000 pounds of produce for the Great Plains Food Bank.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota farmer Tim McLean received a special gift on his 54th birthday — volunteers came from as far as Texas and Kentucky to help his family harvest soybeans.

The work Tuesday also marked a milestone for the Farm Rescue organization — the 400th aid case for the Northern Plains nonprofit.

Bill Gross launched Farm Rescue in North Dakota in 2005. It’s since expanded to South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Montana. Gross told The Associated Press recently that he’d like to widen its geographic reach even more in a year or two.

Farm Rescue does physical labor for farmers in need. McLean says his wife is battling cancer and his father is recovering from a broken leg. He says he’s thankful for the help on his 2,000-acre farm near Wheatland.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Attorneys in the case of a deputy U.S. marshal accused of peeping on females in store dressing rooms in Bismarck are arguing over how to handle information pertaining to the females.

Prosecutor Julie Lawyer says she doesn’t want to provide Michael Rivera’s defense with names and contact information of the females unless she is assured that copies won’t be provided to Rivera.

Defense attorney Lloyd Suhr is asking a judge to force Lawyer to hand over the information. He says he defense is entitled to all of the evidence held by the state.

The judge has yet to rule.

Rivera is accused of using a cellphone camera to record under the doors of changing rooms at department stores. He faces 21 charges, including a dozen felonies.

 

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say people protesting the construction of an oil pipeline in North Dakota gathered Tuesday at two construction sites on private property.

The Morton County sheriff’s office says about 300 protesters gathered along with 100 cars and a dozen horses at a construction site for the Dakota Access pipeline around 2 p.m. The state’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation is looking into reports of a possible assault on a construction worker and reports of protesters blocking workers from leaving the site and chasing them on horseback.

Protesters later gathered for about an hour at another construction site.

The sheriff’s office says no one was arrested during the either protest, but five people were taken into custody on disorderly conduct and other charges after temporarily blocking a highway.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A California woman accused of dealing large amounts of methamphetamine in western North Dakota has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Charlotte Chan, of Chino, California, is charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance, and money laundering. She pleaded guilty in June.

Authorities say Chan and David Burbidge conspired to distribute more than 500 grams of meth, most of which came from California.

Burbidge has pleaded not guilty. He is scheduled for trial on Oct. 4.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The federal government says it’s reviewing a federal appeals court ruling that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration didn’t follow proper procedures when imposing stricter regulations on farm fertilizer dealers.

The policy change announced last year would regulate retail dealers of farm fertilizer such as anhydrous ammonia under the same standards as manufacturers.

It came after a deadly explosion at a Texas plant in 2013 and is aimed at improving safety, but some believe it would unfairly burden the industry. The Agricultural Retailers Association and The Fertilizer Institute sued a year ago.

The appeals court ruled Friday that OSHA can’t implement the change without going through a formal rule-making process. Labor Department spokeswoman Mandy McClure didn’t comment on whether that was being considered.

The change was to take effect Saturday.

The defending World Series champions are five games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card with five to play. The Orioles lost 5-1 at Toronto on Tuesday night.

The Twins absorbed their 101st loss, one off the Minnesota team record set in 1982.

The Tigers are back within a game of the Orioles for the second AL wild-card berth after Miguel Cabrera went 3-for-3 with a three-run homer and five RBIs in a 12-0 drubbing of Cleveland.

The American pros hope to follow suit.

 

MLB-FERNANDEZ

Fernandez viewing, funeral arrangements announced

MIAMI (AP) — The Marlins have announced that a public viewing for former pitcher Jose Fernandez will be held Wednesday at a Miami church, preceded by a funeral procession that will start outside the team’s ballpark. The procession is scheduled to start at 2:16 p.m., the “16” representing Fernandez’s No. 16 jersey.

A private funeral will be held Thursday, attended by the Fernandez family and Marlins players and personnel.

The 2013 NL Rookie of the Year and two others were killed in a boating accident early Sunday morning.

A spokeswoman for a Miami River bar and restaurant said in an emailed statement that Fernandez was at the establishment the same night of the boat crash. The statement did not say whether Fernandez had been drinking or what time he left.

A friend of one of the victims said he warned him against the post-midnight trip. Marlins center fielder Marcell Ozuna (oh-ZOO’-nuh) said he and at least two other teammates turned down invitations to go and tried to discourage Fernandez from going out.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission continues to investigate the accident.
