Jamestown (CSi) It’s possible a Jamestown City Council committee will possibly review the city’s fireworks Ordinance, at the July meeting.

On Monday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 Mayor Katie Andersen said city officials have received some complaints on people setting off fireworks this year, but the city approaches the issue with a positive response.

The nine day period that fireworks … and detonating fireworks is legal in participating North Dakota political sub-divisions including Jamestown is from June 27 to July 5. Six businesses obtained permits to sell fireworks this year.

Mayor Andersen said Jamestown Police and Fire Departments will likely have input on the issue if discussed at a city committee meeting.

Also on her first appearance on our show since being re-elected, Mayor Andersen said, during her first four year term in office, included accomplishments concerning the city’s infrastructure. She said the replacement of a large portion of the city’s sanitary sewer lines and lift stations was a major accomplishment, the large project of its kind in Jamestown.

She also pointed out the installation of the southwest Jamestown water storage tank, as the city expands, plus revisions to the city’s Municipal Code, plus progress on the revamping the city’s Land Use and Transportation Plan, which is continuing, geared to improve infrastructure above ground, including improved traffic flows, and connectivity.

Mayor Andersen added that other items that progessed during her first term included revitalizing downtown, along with economic development items such as the ethanol plant and the planned CHS fertilizer plant near Jamestown, in addtion to an agreement with Menard’s to build in Jamestown.

Over the next four years Mayor Andersen says the city needs to continue to address the housing and workforce shortages in Jamestown. She said the city will need to address city employee salaries, review job descriptions, and address the number of open staff positions.
