Jamestown  (CSi)  The Jamestown City Council met in Regular Session Monday evening at City Hall.

All members were present.

 

NO CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS DISCUSSED SEPARATELY:

 

 

REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS:

 

RESOLUTIONS:

 

The Council considered matching funds required to pursue CDBG funding, in the amount of $150,000, for the purpose of James River clearing and snagging of trees and other debris.

The request for the state matching funds came from the Stutsman County water resource district, and discussed a $10,000 match.

Mayor Andersen told CSiNewsNow.com that the funding is a 50-50 match with the state, for $300,000.

She said Stutsman County had yet to act on a share.

She suggested the balance of $140,000 be split between the city and county.

The Stutsman County Commission meets on Tuesday.

She pointed out that the city’s share may come from the one half percent city sales tax fund for infrastructure , or possibly from the city’s Vector Control funds, concerning mosquito control efforts.

The City Council on Monday voted to commit  $70,000 and float a $70,000 optional loan to the county.

If the county decides against their $70,000 match, the issue returns to the city for further action.

 

The Council Members considered the request of i3G Media (Two Rivers Broadcasting) to place an 8’ by 8’ building on a 10’ by 10’ pad at the water tower located at 1704 4th Avenue SW to shelter equipment.

Mayor Andersen said in researching the issue, she suggests an agreement be drawing up with more details on the terms.

At Monday’s City Council meeting the council move to table the request,  to delay action pending meetings with owners of antennas on all city water towers, concerning water tower  maintenance issues, and create standardization for all utilities.

 

Considered was an amendment to the original agreement with Recycling Center of ND, Inc., to clearly establish a deadline for the start-up of curbside recycling.

Mayor Andersen said the city attorney and other city officials and attorney for Ralph Friebel, of Recycling Center of ND, Inc., (formerly Renaissance Recycling) in Jamestown, and Ralph Friebel, met Monday morning to discuss the issue before the Monday evening City Council meeting.

At the Monday City Council meeting,  Mayor Andersen said the city proposes that on November 21, 2017 to receive a confirmation of the recycler’s financing, with a termination clause, to determine if the recycler was still able to move forward with previous contract language and still wants to proceed, allowing the city to proceed withdrawing from the agreement if necessary without utilizing a default.

 

Also on November 21st another option concerns implementing the new recycling building.

If that option is selected the next date is February 21, 2018 to move forward with the agreement.

 

If the recycling proceeds, under the original agreement,  on December 21, 2017, another commitment is required to be able to implement collection on or before March 1, 2018.  Collection may proceed before that time.   A six week lead time is indicated by the city as lead time to have the recycling carts delivered.

 

Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Becky Thatcher-Keller asked when the automated collection would start.

Mayor Andersen said the automated collection trucks arrive next week.  In the meantime the city will bear the costs of the present garbage collection process.

The garbage collection staff has been reduced from six to three, with one transferred to another department, and two leaving for other positions.

The city had previously indicated that the garbage collection staff would be eliminated on January 1, 2018, when automated collection had been implemented.

Mayor Andersen said another public education period will be held before implementation.

The City Council voted unanimously to proceed with the amendment to the original agreement.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Minot police say a man was shot as he sat in his vehicle outside an apartment complex.

Police say they responded to Trinity Hospital’s emergency room about 1 a.m. Monday where a 28-year-old man was being treated for a gunshot wound. The victim was taken to the hospital by another person who was in the vehicle.

The shooter is still at large. Police say the victim is hospitalized in stable condition.

 

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Minot man is accused of punching his fiancée’s brother and threatening him with a knife during a fight that began with an argument over a thermostat.

Authorities allege 33-year-old Cornelius Young was upset that the other man had turned up the thermostat in a mobile home. The other man tried to defend himself with a children’s toy during the alleged assault.

Police say Young’s fiancée jumped on his back and bit his ear to distract him, and Young eventually left the home. Two children were present during the altercation but weren’t injured.

The Minot Daily News reports Young is charged with felony terrorizing. Court documents don’t list an attorney, and a home telephone listing for him couldn’t be found. He could enter a plea during a Dec. 7 hearing.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Health Department has unveiled proposed administrative rules for a medical marijuana system in the state.

The agency is taking public comments through Dec. 26, and has scheduled public meetings in six cities next month.

Voters approved medical marijuana in November 2016. State lawmakers earlier this year crafted regulations that Gov. Doug Burgum approved in April. But the Health Department doesn’t expect the drug to be available to patients for another year.

The advocacy group Marijuana Majority says a two-year lag between voter approval and drug availability is too long.

State Medical Marijuana Director Jason Wahl says North Dakota looked at numerous states’ regulatory systems when crafting its proposed rules. And he says officials placed a priority on ensuring medical marijuana isn’t able to be diverted for illegal use.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is setting his sights on the state’s higher education system.

Burgum has scheduled a news conference Tuesday to make an announcement he says is aimed at ensuring the system is best able to meet the state’s education and workforce needs. No other details were provided.

Burgum has said he believes the state’s 11 colleges and universities can deliver a more affordable product and need to be more flexible and understanding of technology. He said the most successful schools are those that can spur other economic development.

The North Dakota University System is managed by the state Board of Higher Education. Voters in 2014 turned down an initiative that would have replaced the board with a three-member commission that reports to the governor.

 

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The Fargo-Moorhead Diversion Authority is appealing a ruling by a federal judge that halted construction of the Red River diversion.

U.S. District Judge John Tunheim of Minnesota issued the order in September, saying the diversion authority and Army Corps of Engineers did not have the required permits from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Tunheim granted a preliminary injunction sought by the Minnesota DNR and the Richland-Wilkin Joint Powers Authority, a group of upstream residents who have sued to block the project.

Lawyers in the case say the notice filed Monday with the 8th U.S. Circuit of Appeals is a protective appeal because the two sides have agreed to suspend legal proceedings while a task force works on solutions to the dispute.

The task force has a Dec. 15 deadline.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The mayors of Bismarck and Minot have different ideas about their futures.

Bismarck Mayor Mike Seminary announced Monday he will seek re-election next year. Minot Mayor Chuck Barney says he’s not going to run.

Barney says he wants to pursue other interests. He’s served in Minot’s city government for 16 years, including almost four years as mayor.

Seminary says there are still a lot of things he wants to accomplish. He was first elected in 2008 to serve on Bismarck’s City Commission, then ran unchallenged for mayor in 2014.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Agricultural Products Utilization Commission will consider six grant requests totaling about $433,000 at its quarterly meeting this month in Stanley.

The group better known as APUC funds developers of North Dakota farm products. The money is typically used for research, marketing, farm diversification, ag tourism and technology.

Requests this quarter are for projects involving berries, ethanol, a grain industry mobile app, dry pea protein, a commercial greenhouse and gelato ice cream.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Drivers in North Dakota are paying an average of 26 cents more for a gallon of gas than a year ago.

The AAA says the statewide average price is currently $2.48. Rising oil prices are inflating pump prices, which typically have dropped when school starts at the end of summer and families aren’t vacationing.

AAA says demand for gas is expected to drop as winter sets in.

Average gas prices are highest in the Bismarck metro area at $2.52, then Grand Forks metro at $2.51 and Fargo at $2.33.

Bismarck  (CSi)  The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is reminding deer hunters to keep in mind the Sportsmen Against Hunger program this fall.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers continue to struggle on offense since Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone that ended his season.

The Detroit Lions ended a three-game skid by keeping the Packers out of the end zone until the fourth quarter of a 30-17 victory at Green Bay. The Packers got their first TD on Brett Hundley’s one-yard sneak with 9:52 remaining, but the Lions regained a 17-point lead less than two minutes later as Matthew Stafford hit Marvin Jones for an 11-yard touchdown.

Stafford was 26 of 33 for 361 yards and two TDs as the Lions evened their record at 4-4. Jones had both scoring receptions while catching seven passes for 107 yards.

Hundley completed 26 of his 38 passes for 245 yards and no interceptions, but the 4-4 Packers had the ball for just over 23 minutes in suffering their third straight loss.

 

MLB…

TWINS…

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins have hired Derek Shelton as their bench coach. Shelton was the Toronto Blue Jays’ quality control coach this year. The 47-year-old Shelton will be going into his 14th season as a coach in some capacity at the major league level. He previously served as Tampa Bay’s hitting coach from 2010-16 and Cleveland’s hitting coach from 2005-09.

 

Former Twins coach Rick Stelmaszek has died at age 69 of complications from pancreatic cancer. Stelmaszek spent 32 seasons as a Twins coach from 1981-2012, earning World Series rings in 1987 and ’91.

 

Alex Cora was introduced as the new manager of the Red Sox and says he’s ready to take on the challenge of leading one of its most storied franchises. He served as bench coach for A.J. Hinch as the Astros won the World Series.

 

The Indians have declined their $7 million option on reliever Boone Logan, who pitched in 38 games before a strained back muscle ended his season in July.

 

The Dodgers have declined outfielder Andre Ethier’s $17.5 million club option, making the longest-tenured player on the team a free agent. The 35-year-old Ethier missed most of the last two seasons because of a broken right leg in 2016 and a herniated disk this past season.

 

Madison Bumgarner’s $12 million option for the 2018 season has been exercised by the Giants, who also picked up their $7 million option on lefty Matt Moore. Bumgarner missed nearly three months this past season following a dirt bike accident during an off day in Colorado on April 20.

 

Houston first base coach Rich Dauer is recovering after surgery on a blood clot in his brain. The 65-year-old Dauer was rushed to a hospital Friday immediately after Houston’s parade to celebrate its first World Series title.

 

In world and national news…

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — President Donald Trump is hinting at a surprise announcement as he prepares to depart South Korea. Trump says during a toast at a state dinner being held in his honor in Seoul that, “we’re going to have an exciting day tomorrow for many reasons” that “people will find out.”

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Hundreds of South Koreans have taken to the streets of Seoul for two separate demonstrations, one to show support for visiting President Donald Trump and the other to voice disapproval of the U.S. leader amid concerns over North Korea’s nuclear threats. Surrounded by thousands of police officers and a tight perimeter created by buses, hundreds of anti-Trump protesters rallied at a boulevard near the U.S. Embassy on Tuesday, holding banners that read “No Trump” and “No War.”

SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas (AP) — President Donald Trump says stricter gun control measures might have led to additional casualties during a mass shooting at a South Texas church. Trump says at a news conference in South Korea that, “If you did what you’re suggesting, there would have been no difference three days ago and you might not have had that very brave person who happens to have a gun or a rifle in his trunk.”

UNDATED (AP) — Texas authorities say they don’t want to “glorify” the man who fired on a church congregation in Sutherland Springs Sunday, so they intend to not mention his name. FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Combs says, “we don’t talk about the shooter” in the hope that it “doesn’t encourage other people to do horrific acts.” A group called No Notoriety has created a movement saying on Facebook and Twitter, “Stop making rampage mass murderers famous.”

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — President Donald Trump took to Twitter once again to back Republican Virginia gubernatorial Ed Gillespie minutes before the polls opened across the state. In a series of early morning tweets Tuesday, Trump said Gillespie will crack down on crime and improve the state’s economy. Trump tweeted that Gillespie’s Democratic opponent Ralph Northam is “weak on crime” and against the Second Amendment. Northam, an Army veteran, says he grew up hunting and wants common-sense gun laws.
