JSDC leaves SCDRC membership to city/county

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) Board of Directors voted for any decisions on membership in the South Central Dakota Regional Council to the Jamestown City Council and Stutsman County Commission.

Regional Council Board, Chairman, Joe Neis asked the JSDC Board to consider requesting that Stutsman County and the city of Jamestown pay the dues owed to the Regional Council.

The membership in the Regional Council belongs to the county although the dues, $34,800 for 2016, are split with Jamestown paying 63 percent and Stutsman County 37 percent.

Mark Klose, chairman of the Stutsman County Commission and a member of the JSDC Board, said the county was not trying to be difficult.

The request is on the Stutsman County Commission’s meeting agenda today.
