Jamestown (CSi)  Jamestown’s  Mayor Katie Andersen says, the city council may revisit providing recycling at the Jamestown Recycling Center past December 31, 2017.

On Monday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, the mayor said the recent committee vote to not provide a subsidy to the recycler in January, and February 2018, at $5,000 a month may be discussed at a committee meeting this month.

She said once the Council Members who voted not in favor of  providing the subsidy of those two months, Council Members Phillips, Brubakken and Buchanan, may have a different outlook on the issue, if Ralph Friebel  reports favorable information on the start of residential recycling and updated finance disclosures.

At last month’s committee meeting, before the vote Friebel said without a continued subsidy, the recycling center would have to close, as of December 31, 2017.

Mayor Andersen repeated her concern of not have the recycling center staying open, and voted in favor of the subsidy to continue in January and February, along with Council Member Gumke.

She pointed out that the automated recycling truck has arrived in Jamestown, but will not be put into operation until the start of residential recycling , now planned for March 1, 2018.  She added that the recycling containers are scheduled to be delivered in mid-February 2018.
