Jamestown Rural Fire District Board secretary/treasurer, Shirley Krapp says, a Special Election has been tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, June 19, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the rural fire hall, in Jamestown for voters who live in the rural fire district, not including the city of Jamestown.
Stutsman County auditor/chief operating officer, Nicole Meland, points out that the rural fire district is its own taxing jurisdiction certifying its own property tax levy, and is able to hold its own elections regarding property taxes.
Krapp said the fire district’s population fluctuates between 3,600 to 4,000 people, but she didn’t know how many registered voters are in the district.
A full five additional mills would raise about $180,000 annually and a residential property with a true value of $100,000, a property owner would see an additional $22.27 in taxes in annual taxes if approved by voters.
The rural fire district has applied for a 30-year loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Community Facilities Direct Loan and Grant Program, which will determine the mills the district uses each year and the amount, and the five mills would cover the loan payment is for the first year.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota horse owners are on high alert amid the surfacing of a neurological disease.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the state High School Rodeo Association and the Junior High Rodeo Division have canceled several rodeos in the wake of Lil Sis, a barrel racing horse who died last month.
Tests show Lil Sis had a neurological disease caused by a form of equine herpes called EHV-1. The horse’s owners presume Lil Sis got infected when she was at the Bowman County Fairgrounds Indoor Arena this year.
EHV-1 can be spread through air, contaminated equipment, clothing and hands. State veterinarian Susan Keller says there have been about five lab-confirmed cases of EHV-1 in North Dakota, but only one of the neurological form.
Keller says owners can vaccinate horses against EHV-1.

The Sanctuary opened May 1 in Minot. The sober living home aims to provide a supportive environment for up to 14 women recovering from alcoholism or drug addiction, the Minot Daily News reported.
The Sanctuary has already acquired its first transitional residents, according to Carolyn Engh and Sarena Jenkins, the home’s manager and assistant manager. Women can be self-referred or be referred by an agency, and must be adults who are employed or in school at least part-time. Rent is $500 a month.
Engh said applicants must be in recovery and willing to dedicate themselves to a sustained recovery.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A longtime North Dakota Republican activist is proposing a change to the state constitution that would explicitly bar non-U.S. citizens from voting in elections.
Gary Emineth, a candidate for the state Senate seat in Bismarck, submitted the proposed constitutional amendment to the Secretary of State’s office on Monday for review.
The North Dakota Constitution already defines a voter as a U.S. citizen. But Emineth says the wording is “ambiguous” and another section is proposed for clarity.
Secretary of State Al Jaeger says there have been some reports of non-U.S. citizens voting in North Dakota but nothing was ever proven.
The amendment’s supporters need to get signatures from at least 26,904 North Dakota voters by July 9 to put the measure on the November ballot.
