Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 The Jamestown City Council met in Special Session Wednesday afternoon at City Hall, called by Mayor, Dwaine Heinrich.\u00a0 All members were present.\u00a0 Council Member Schloegel was not present.<\/p>\n
The agenda item was , to consider approving the\u00a0 North Dakota State and Political Subdivisions Opioid Settlement Memorandum of Understanding\u00a0 (MOU) and the Settlement Agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign them.\u00a0 The deadline to submit the documentation in January 2, 2022.<\/p>\n
At the December 16, 2021 City Council, Finance & Legal Committee meeting, members considered the North Dakota State and Political Subdivisions Opioid Settlement Memorandum of Understanding with a settlement reached with a nationwide agreement with Johnson & Johnson.\u00a0 Assistant City Attorney\u00a0 Abby Gerioux said the total of the settlement nationwide is $3-Billion.\u00a0 Each state established an entity\u00a0 to receive the funds to establish a program to remediate the opiod crisis concerns, and distribute the funds.<\/p>\n
The committee recommended approval of entering into the MOU with the ND State and Political Subdivisions, and have the mayor sign the agreement.<\/p>\n
The vote was 4-1 with Council Member Buchanan voting opposed.\u00a0 He is unclear what the burden would be on the city, and not rush to have the mayor sign the MOU.<\/p>\n
Mayor Heinrich then called for a Special City Council meeting before he would sign the agreement, because the vote was not unanimous.<\/p>\n
At\u00a0 Thursday\u2019s, Special Council meeting, Mayor Heinrich said he visited with the North Dakota Attorney General’s Office, he said the city is no longer asked to sign the Memorandum of Understanding.\u00a0 The agreement document is with drug manufacturer Jansen (J&J).\u00a0 Mayor Heinrich said if the settlement agreement is signed by the city, the settlement dollar amount for the city is unknown at this time, and would be distributed over an 18 month period.<\/p>\n

The Food and Drug Administration announcement comes as the U.S. braces for a wave of new infections from the omicron variant that is threatening already-strained hospitals. Pfizer’s prescription pill is the first U.S. medication that doesn’t require an injection or an IV, a long-awaited milestone in the battle against the virus. But initial supplies will be extremely limited with just enough to treat tens of thousands of people. The drug was authorized for high-risk patients who are most likely to get severe illness.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The commission approved effective January 1st, 2022.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) \u2014 Nine days after a tornado demolished his three-story office building in downtown Mayfield, Kentucky, Sonny \u201cHoot\u201d Gibson was standing in the rubble and heard a faint meow. It gave him hope that his office cat Madix was alive. Gibson had tried to find the animal after the tornado hit, but had given up after a few days. Gibson was standing in the rubble Sunday afternoon when he heard the faint noise. Gibson called over some employees who helped search. Soon after, they found the cat unscathed in a hole beneath the rubble. Gibson says he took Madix home, where he will live as a house cat.<\/p>\n
