From Valley City City Attorney, Carl Martineck
Valley City (CSi) March 17, 2020, Valley City Mayor Dave Carlsrud declared a state of emergency in response to the COVID-19 health crisis. In consideration of a decline in positive cases locally and across the state, and widespread availability of vaccines, along with the end of the school year, it is anticipated that the City Commissionwill formally end the state of emergency at the regular city commission meeting scheduled for June 15 at 5:00pm.
According to the North Dakota Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fully vaccinated individuals can resume activities without wearing a mask indoors and outdoors. Individuals who are not vaccinated should continue to follow previous guidelines which include physical distancing and wearing masks.
A recommendation remains that everyone wears masks when they are in a health care setting, when they are traveling on public transportation, including airplanes, and when they are in a business or employer that chooses to require masks. Also, vaccinated people who have weakened immune systems should consult with their physician to determine the best course of action for them.
Citizens may resume attendance at all public City meetings, in accordance with these health recommendations, or continue to participate in and/or watch meetings remotely through Zoom.

Valley City (Chamber) 6-7-21Valley City Mayor, Dave Carlsrud has a new message to Valley City residents.
Hello Everyone,
Guess what, our grasses are tinder dry and we really need some good rains. In the meantime, please be careful, our VCFD has had grassfire calls since the rains we had a while ago. The heat and wind have facilitated combustibility.
To maximize your water, please see the following: Watering lawns in the morning is best. The grass plants are active and will absorb the needed water. Extra water will evaporate, keeping the grass blades dry and preventing diseases. Watering during the afternoon is not recommended since much of the water will evaporate before the plants can absorb it. The worst time to irrigate is the evening since the lawn will remain wet all night, leading to diseases. https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/yardandgardenreport/2014-08-04/summer-lawn-care
A case for our Municipal Power and Electrical Department. Our power was “on” 100% of the time in April and 99.9999% of the time in May. A “hungry Squirrel” caused the single outage.
Summer weather has more kids out playing in their yards and near streets so please be aware when you are driving. One never knows when a ball escapes the yard and a young one runs onto the street so please, NO TEXTING while driving.
There have been many people utilizing facilities in Chautauqua Park and that it is so dry, it gets extremely dusty for them when people speed. Please drive slowly as the speed limit is 5 MPH.
If you have yet to get your COVID Vaccine, please consider it further. The vaccine has been successful. Call 845-8518 for information.

Forty-one-year-old Joby Seagren disappeared on Saturday near a popular recreation area called Kimball Bottoms.

SOLWAY, Minn. (AP) — Hundreds of protesters vowing to do whatever it takes to stop a Canadian-based company’s push to replace an aging pipeline blocked a pump station Monday in northern Minnesota. Some people chained themselves to construction equipment before police made arrests. They shouted “Stop Line 3!” and vowed to stop the Canadian-based company’s final construction push. Opponents say Line 3 would worsen climate change and risk spills in sensitive areas where Native Americans harvest wild rice, hunt, fish and gather medicinal plants. They’re calling on President Joe Biden to halt the project. Enbridge says the new line is made from stronger steel and will better protect the environment.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — State workers plan to start mowing along state highways next week. The Bismarck Tribune reports the state Transportation Department will start mowing the top cut along highway shoulders beginning the week of June 14. Adjacent landowners who mow non-interstate ditches for hay should mow the top before state employees get to those areas.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Nearly $400,000 worth of improvements to the state Capitol grounds are set to wrap up within weeks, including work to nip pervasive smells from the governor’s residence kitchen. The Bismarck Tribune reports that $230,000 in curb replacements around the Capitol mall could be done later this month but might stretch into July. Meanwhile, about $150,000 of work to fix noisy acoustics and poor kitchen ventilation in the governor’s residence should be finished by the end of June. Problems at the $4.9 million residence have been ongoing for two years, most notably cooking smells from the kitchen permeating the home’s formal event space.

The Angels said at the time that Trout would miss six to eight weeks, which would sideline him through the All-Star break.

The settlement agreement was filed Friday in Orange County Superior Court. The athletes sued the sport’s governing board and the International Water Polo Club over alleged abuse by Bahram Hojreh. The coach has been banned from the sport and faces criminal sexual abuse charges. The settlement follows a California State Supreme court ruling in April that found sports governing organizations have a duty to protect athletes. Hojreh has pleaded not guilty to charges filed by the Orange County district attorney.

LONDON (AP) — Numerous websites were unavailable on Tuesday after an apparent widespread outage at cloud service company Fastly. Dozens of high-traffic websites including the New York Times, CNN, Twitch and the U.K. government’s home page, could not be reached. Fastly said in repeated updates on its website that it was “continuing to investigate the issue.” About an hour later, the company said: “The issue has been identified and a fix has been applied. Customers may experience increased origin load as global services return.” A number of sites that were hit early appeared to be coming back online.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol has found broad government, military and law enforcement missteps surrounding the attack. The bipartisan review found a breakdown within multiple intelligence agencies and a lack of training and preparation for Capitol Police officers who were quickly overwhelmed by the rioters. The Senate report released Tuesday is the first bipartisan look at the insurrection. It recommends giving the Capitol Police chief more authority, giving better equipment to law enforcement and streamlining intelligence gathering. The report does not delve into the root causes of the attack, including the role played by former President Donald Trump.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A global sting involving an encrypted communications platform developed by the FBI has sparked a series of raids and arrests around the world. Law enforcement authorities said Tuesday that Operation Trojan Shield involved police swoops in 16 nations. They said more than 800 suspects were arrested and more than 32 tons of drugs — cocaine, cannabis, amphetamines and methamphetamines were seized. The raids also netted 250 firearms, 55 luxury cars and more than $148 million in cash and cryptocurrencies. Australian Federal Police Commander Jennifer Hearst calls it “a watershed moment in global law enforcement history.”
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Biden administration says it has identified more than 3,900 children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border under former President Donald Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy on illegal crossings. The Family Reunification Task Force report Tuesday provides one of the more detailed accounts of a chapter in U.S. immigration history that drew widespread condemnation. The Biden administration is reviewing additional cases, which means the final count may be higher. Its report provides data that hasn’t been previously released. Nearly 60% of children separated under the zero-tolerance policy were Guatemalan. The Border Patrol’s Yuma, Arizona, sector recorded the highest number of separations.
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris is closing out her first foreign trip Tuesday as she visits Mexico and meets with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. He’s a key but complicated ally in the Biden administration’s efforts to curb the spike in migration at the U.S. border. Lopez Obrador committed in a previous virtual meeting with Harris that the U.S. can “count on us” to help address the issue of irregular migration. But the Mexican president has in the past blamed President Joe Biden for the increase in migration at the border and was chummy with his predecessor, President Donald Trump, despite Trump’s hardline policies towards migrants.
(AP) Federal regulators have approved the first new drug for Alzheimer’s disease in nearly 20 years, leaving patients waiting to see how insurers will handle the pricey new treatment. Health care experts expect broad coverage of the drug, which was approved Monday. But but what that means for patients will vary widely depending on their health insurance plan. In some cases, that could mean coming up with several thousand dollars to pay for what the insurer doesn’t cover. Insurers also are expected to require pre-approval of both the drug and brain scans needed to monitor patients before they agree to coverage.
