Jamestown (CSi) The Stutsman County Commission took no action, Tuesday on a dues request. Stutsman County’s share of the Regional Council dues is $34,800 with 63 percent of the cost paid by the city of Jamestown.

Stutsman County COO Casey Bradley said if the county does not remain a Regional Council member, the small communities within Stutsman County should still be able to apply for Community Development Block Grants, which are administered by the Regional Council.

Stutsman County is one of nine county members of the South Central Dakota Regional Council. The county is considering not renewing its membership because of problems with a hazard mitigation plan it had contracted with the Regional Council to provide and an overall concern for the finances and operations of the Regional Council
