Washington (Sen Hoeven’s Office) Senator John Hoeven Tuesday announced that his legislation enabling homeowners around Patterson Lake and the Jamestown Reservoir to purchase their lots has been approved by Congress and will now go to the President to be signed into
law.
The Senate Tuesday day approved both S.440 and S. 2074 as amended, legislation to transfer lots at Patterson Lake to the Dickinson Parks and Recreation Department and land around the Jamestown Reservoir to the Stutsman County Park Board. Homeowners will then have the opportunity to purchase their land from these local entities.
Hoeven says, homeowners at Patterson Lake and the Jamestown Reservoir have made investments in their homes and lots, and they deserve the security of owning the land they live on. This legislation is the result of a collaborative effort by the homeowner associations as well as local, state and federal officials in Dickinson and Jamestown. We look forward to the President signing these bills into law.
The Senate originally passed the legislation in
October<https://www.hoeven.senate.gov/news/news-releases/senate-passes-hoeven-legislation-enabling-homeowners-around-patterson-lake-and-jamestown-reservoir-to-purchase-lots>,
however the House of Representatives amended the bills before passing them earlier this month, sending them back to the Senate for final approval. The Senate approved the legislation Tuesday, sending it to the President to be signed into law.
Jamestown Reservoir Legislation
After working with homeowners and local officials in Jamestown, Hoeven introduced S. 2074 in the Senate in November 2017. The Jamestown
Reservoir<https://www.hoeven.senate.gov/news/news-releases/hoeven-introduces-legislation-to-allow-homeowners-to-purchase-lots-at-jamestown-reservoir>
legislation:
* Permanently transfers federal lands around Jamestown Reservoir including 71 permitted exclusive use cabin lots, two campgrounds, a park and unpurchased lots to the Stutsman County Park Board and the North Dakota Game and Fish at no cost.
* Directs that proceeds exceeding the costs of preparing residential lots for sale be used for administrative costs and deferred maintenance of the dam. The BOR would continue to maintain responsibility over the reservoir and dam.
The bills are cosponsored by Senator Heidi Heitkamp and Congressman Kevin Cramer introduced companion legislation in the House of Representatives.
Patterson Lake Legislation
Hoeven introduced S.440, legislation to transfer lots at Patterson
Lake<https://www.hoeven.senate.gov/news/news-releases/hoeven-legislation-will-enable-homeowners-to-purchase-their-lots-at-patterson-lake>
in February 2017. Specifically, the legislation:
Transfers 41 cabin lots, and additional recreation and wildlife management lands, to the Dickinson Parks and Recreation Department. It also transfers a parcel of land, currently being leased, to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department.
Directs that proceeds exceeding the costs of preparing residential lots for sale be used for administrative costs and deferred maintenance of the dam. The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) would continue to maintain responsibility over the reservoir and dam.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Elementary school students in Minot raised nearly $3,000 to outfit a K-9 officer with the city police department.
The money raised by the students at Longfellow Elementary was enough to buy a uniform vest and collar for the German shepherd named Mace, as well as a bulletproof vest.
Senior Patrol Officer Matthew Pappenfuss tells the Minot Daily News that the children “went above and beyond.”
Longfellow PTA officer Terri Duchsherer says the group stresses community service, and helping out a dog was a project with which students could connect.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A New York City woman who suffered a severe arm injury while protesting the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota two years ago is suing law enforcement even though she does not yet have evidence that might help her prove law officers were to blame.
Sophia Wilansky was injured during a violent November 2016 clash between protesters and police during the unsuccessful months-long protest in North Dakota against the $3.8 billion pipeline that began carrying oil to Illinois in June 2017.
Wilansky, who was 21 at the time, suffered a left arm injury in an explosion and has since had five surgeries. Protesters allege the blast was caused by a concussion grenade thrown by officers, but police maintain it was caused by a propane canister that protesters rigged to explode. The cause is still unknown, and no one has been charged in the blast despite a criminal investigation .
