He also pointed out the need for the city owned parking lots to have vehicles parked along the railroad fence, to expedite snow removal. The city would sent out public notices ahead of a snow storm.

City Administrator Hellekson said petition forms are available at City Hall, for those interested in running in the June 2020 city elections.

OTHER BUSINESS:

The City Council approved the draft Resolution affirming the urgency and necessity of the State’s

participation in replacing the State of North Dakota ladder truck for the City.

On a recent Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Mayor Heinrich says, while to state has funded a a ladder truck to the city of Jamestown for 91 years, the city was informed last month that the state no longer will provide funding for the truck, which the city was unaware of. The ladder truck has since been returned to the state, and parked at the state hospital grounds.

He said he’s discussed the issue with State Senators, Terry Wanzek and John Grabinger to address the situation in the state legislature, or with state officials.

The meeting was shown live on CSi Cable 67, followed by replays.

Jamestown (CSi) In the wake of the blizzard two weekends ago that dumped over 20 inches of wind blown snow on Jamestown, Mayor Dwaine Heinrich says city officials, including Street Foreman, Rick Lipetzky will meet in a debriefing session to look at what went right, and what needs improvements in snow removal.

On Monday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, the mayor said, one snow removal option in the future, includes having vehicles parked in the two city lots, downtown, to park in advance of a forecasted heavy snow storm, along the railroad fence, to allow for efficient snow removal in those lots.

He also asks contractors removing snow from parking lots…not… to place snow in city streets, as city snow removal equipment is not able to encounter and remove those large amounts of snow while clearing already large amounts of snowfall.

He said other options will be discussed concerning where vehicles in the city can be parked off-street in advance of a forecasted large snow storm event to allow for efficient snow removal.

Overall, Mayor Heinrich said the city street crews removed snow from city streets in a timely manor given the unusually large amount of snow that had fallen on city streets.

Jamestown Public Works says that during the winter months, citizens are reminded to remove snow in and around any utility meters located on the property so utility personnel are able to access and record the meter readings.

Examples are related to water, gas, and electric utilities that need to be read by City meter readers and other utility company personnel. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Jamestown (CSi) The future is already here at the ninth annual Precision Ag Summit scheduled for Jan. 20-21, 2020, at the North Dakota Farmers Union Conference Center in Jamestown.

ABOUT Precision Agriculture Summit:

North Dakota Farmers Union and Praxis Strategy Group are pleased to host the 9th annual precision agriculture summit. Precision agriculture consists of the “art” of exploring options and implementing agronomic practices that are required by a plant species to attain its yield potential in accordance with the spatial and temporal conditions of the field where it is grown. The summit offers hands on and technical demonstrations of precision agriculture technologies and applications and explanations of applications, procedure and tools designed to lower producer cost and create a more efficient environment for farm production. This event is open to the public and we strongly encourage agriculture producers, researchers, agronomists, manufacturers, business leaders, economic developers, and students who are interested in hearing from experts, exchanging ideas, and learning more about precision agriculture technology, methods, and practices to attend.

(AP) The search continues for a woman missing on the Standing Rock Reservation. Horseback riders joined other volunteers and law enforcement Monday in the search for 30-year-old Kara Lynn Mauai. The volunteers on horseback search areas that are hard to reach on foot between Selfridge and Porcupine, a distance of about 20 miles. The Fort Yates woman was last seen Nov. 8 in the Selfridge area. The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the woman’s family have declined to comment on whether foul play is suspected in Mauai’s disappearance. The mother of three is a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota county commission that recently voted to limit how many refugees it would accept for resettlement has voted not to put the issue before voters in a nonbinding straw poll. The five-member Burleigh County Commission voted 3-2 on Monday against putting on the ballot a nonbinding straw poll on future refugee resettlement. The vote breakdown was the same as the commission vote last month not to accept more than 25 refugees in 2020. Burleigh County doesn’t receive many refugees, getting just 24 in fiscal 2019 after 22 the year before.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Officials say high winds caused a power outage that led to a produced water and oil spill in Dunn County. The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality was notified Monday of the spill at a salt water disposal facility operated by Hunt Oil Co. The spill happened Sunday about 8 miles northwest of Halliday. Equipment failure caused by the power outage led to tanks overflowing. Initial estimates indicated about 27,720 gallons of produced water and 15,540 gallons of crude oil overflowed the tanks. Most of the spill was contained on site, but winds blew some of the material onto pastureland.

(AP)The gavel has been passed to the new chief justice of the North Dakota Supreme Court. A ceremony Monday marked the transition from 86-year-old Chief Justice Gerald VandeWalle to Justice Jon Jensen. The 54-year-old Jensen was elected chief justice by the state’s district court judges and the Supreme Court last month. VandeWalle announced in September that he would not seek reappointment when his term expired at the end of the year. VandeWalle was the longest-serving chief justice in state history and the oldest in the nation. Jensen was appointed to the high court by Gov. Doug Burgum in 2017.

(AP) A judge in North Dakota has dismissed a felony conspiracy charge against a South Dakota man who prosecutors say was part of the 2016 riot at the Dakota Access pipeline construction site. Lawrence Malcolm Jr. was charged last year with conspiring to commit criminal mischief based on DNA from a cigarette butt left at the scene. His attorney argued it was impossible to determine where the cigarette butt originated or how long it may have been there. An affidavit says more than 100 demonstrators halted construction and vandalized equipment on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. Malcolm still faces a misdemeanor charge of engaging in a riot.

Walker sat out his third game in a row with the flu, and while the Celtics won the previous two — against also-rans Atlanta and Chicago — they couldn’t overcome poor shooting, a slow start and a whole lot of Smith.

In other NBA Monday action:

— Luka Doncic scored 21 of his 38 points in the third quarter to lead the Dallas Mavericks past the Chicago Bulls 118-110. Doncic had 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Dallas.

— Joel Embiid (joh-EHL’ ehm-BEED’) scored 18 points playing with a dislocated left ring finger as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 120-113.

He got it taped up and returned to have a solid offensive game.

— Nikola Jokic (NEE’-koh-lah YOH’-kich) scored a career-high 47 points and Will Barton added a season-best 28 as the Denver Nuggets held off the Atlanta Hawks 123-115. Denver improved to 25-11, second-best in the Western Conference. Jokic surpassed his previous career high of 41 with a putback that gave the Nuggets a 114-109 lead with 3:14 remaining.

— T.J. Warren scored 30 of his season-high 36 points in the second half, and the Indiana Pacers beat the Charlotte Hornets 115-104. The Pacers snapped a two-game skid and had lost four of their last five.

— Markelle Fultz scored a career-high 25 points, including seven straight during a 15-1 run in the fourth quarter that sent the Orlando Magic past the slumping Brooklyn Nets 101-89. Nikola Vucevic had 23 rebounds and 11 points for his 300th career double-double.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Croatia’s defense ministry says the country’s 14 troops in Iraq have been moved to Kuwait amid soaring tensions after a U.S. airstrike killed Iran’s top commander in Baghdad last week. A growing number of European countries are shifting troops out of Iraq. Germany says it has moved 35 soldiers serving in Iraq to neighboring Jordan and Kuwait. Slovakia says it has moved its seven service members from Iraq to an unspecified location. Slovenia, however, says its six soldiers in Iraq are staying there but it will monitor developments.

PARIS (AP) — France is marking five years since the deadly Islamic extremist attack on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and later on a kosher supermarket. Two French brothers armed with automatic weapons opened fire in the newsroom of Charlie Hebdo, and two days later, an accomplice seized hostages inside a kosher supermarket. In all, 17 people died before the gunmen were killed by police. Riss, the editor who goes by his pen name, survived the attack, which the gunmen claimed was in retaliation for publishing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. The offices remain under armed guard, as does Riss.

PARIS (AP) — France has warned it will retaliate swiftly with the full backing of the European Union if the United States imposes tariffs on up to $2.4 billion worth of French products. The U.S. is considering 100% tariffs on French goods including Champagne, Roquefort cheese, handbags, and lipstick. Those tariffs would be in response to France’s decision to tax the local digital business of major tech companies like Google and Facebook. A U.S. decision on the tariffs is by next week. Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire met Tuesday with EU trade chief Phil Hogan in Paris.

TOKYO (AP) — Tokyo prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for the wife of Nissan’s former chairman, Carlos Ghosn, on suspicion of perjury. The move Tuesday by Japanese prosecutors comes after Ghosn skipped bail and fled to Lebanon while he was awaiting trial for alleged financial misconduct. Details on the allegations against Carole Ghosn, who is not in Japan, were not immediately available. Japanese officials have warned that those caught helping a fugitive will face legal consequences. Prosecutors earlier said Carole Ghosn was banned from meeting with her husband after his release on bail because they feared she might help him escape. Lebanon and Japan do not have an extradition treaty.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Kenyan authorities say four small children have been shot dead while trying to take refuge from the latest al-Shabab extremist attack. Police say the attackers targeted a telecommunications mast in eastern Garissa county and officers on patrol killed two of them. Other attackers are wounded and on the run. The al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab based in neighboring Somalia has vowed retribution on Kenya for deploying troops to fight the extremist group. Since December al-Shabab has increased attacks inside Kenya including Sunday’s attack on a military base that killed three U.S. military personnel.
