Jamestown  (CSi)   Jamestown Mayor Dwaine Heinrich will be meeting with area legislative representatives, concerning funding for a ladder truck for the Jamestown City Fire Department.

On Monday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, he said, the legislators will approach state officials for funds, with the former ladder truck having gone back to the state, because of cost prohibitive repairs.

Mayor Heinrich recently told CSiNewsNow.com that while to state has funded  a ladder truck to the city of Jamestown for 91 years, the city was informed that the state no longer will provide funding for the truck, which the city was unaware of.  The ladder truck has since been returned to the state, and parked at the state hospital grounds.

In January this year, City Council approved the draft Resolution affirming the urgency and necessity of the State’s participation in replacing the State of North Dakota ladder truck for the City.
