JSDCJamestown (CSi) The Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) Board of Directors tabled a request for dues from South Central Dakota Regional Council.

The vote to table was 8-5 with board members Kelly Rachel, Lorrie Pavlicek, Gary Riffe, Eric Tuchscher and Brent Harris opposed.

The board awaits the possible the Stutsman County Commission and Regional Council settling iron out differences before the JSDC’s September meeting.

Buchanan Mayor, Kim Lees who is a member of the Regional Council Board, said the board would work with the County Commission to find solutions.

The Regional Council charges member counties annual dues to participate, and requested $34,800 from Stutsman County.

The expense would be split with the city of Jamestown paying 63 percent. Because the funds are for economic development, the request first comes to the JSDC for review before consideration by the city and county.

In other business, the JSDC Board approved the location for the planned crew camp that could be constructed as part of the announced $3 billion CHS nitrogen fertilizer plant. The crew camp, if constructed, will be located south of the Dakota Spirit AgEnergy ethanol plant.
