Jmst Mayor, Katie Andersen

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — Jamestown’s Mayor Katie Andersen says, the City of Jamestown and Stutsman Rural Water District may meet sometime this week, to continue negotiations.

At issue is which entity will serve Titan Machinery’s location under construction west of Jamestown, and other parcels in that area, within the one mile extra-territory of Jamestown.

On Monday’s (Apr 1, 2013) Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Mayor Andersen said the last meeting between the two entities was about three weeks ago.

She said, the city received an E-Mail from Stutsman Rural Water District, in response to the city’s latest counter offer, with two alternate plans, which include the City of Jamestown Serving Titan Machinery, or SRWD serving Titan.

She added that bids have been submitted for construction of the water and sewer lines to Titan, as the extended bid period has about another 30 days to go, before bids would have to be re-adverised.

On another topic Mayor Andersen said work will be starting soon, through most of this upcoming summer, on the construction of the new 750,000 gallon water tower serving Southwest Jamestown, along with the construction of two new sewer lift stations, and replacement of sanitary sewer lines, in a portion of Jamestown.

The Mayor also reminded residents that a public input meeting on the SRF proposed land use plan for Jamestown is set for Thursday April 4, 2013 from 3-p.m., to 7-p.m., at the Quality Inn & Suites in Jamestown.

She says maps will be available at the meeting, and the SRF Consulting representative will be on hand, with an open house style format.

Mayor Andersen points out, the proposed land use plans does…not…mean that the areas outlined on the map would be annexed into the City of Jamestown.
