Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. .News) — The Jamestown City Council met in Regular Session on Monday (Nov 5, 2012) at 5-p.m., at City Hall. All Council Members were present.
No Consent Agenda items were discussed separately.
Two items approved included were:
A Resolution to rescind its previous action of acceptance of the offer from Tim Dabill to purchase Lots 1 & 2, Block 2, Beverly Hills 6th Addition, and Lot 19, Beverly Hills 3rd Addition.
And a Resolution to accept the proposal from Leo and Kari Ness for a standstill period to April 30, 2013, regarding their intent to enter into a purchase agreement with the City on all city-owned lots contained in Beverly Hills 6th Addition, after which date if the lots remain available, the City would proceed to allow Tim Dabill thirty (30) days to enter into a purchase agreement with the City for Lots 1 & 2, Block 2, Beverly Hills 6th Addition, and Lot 19, Beverly Hills 3rd Addition.
On the Regular Agenda:
Resolutions:
Following a presentation by Schauer & Associates, PC, the City Council voted to accept and approve the 2011 City Audit.
The City Council then considered the plat of Berndt’s Addition, a portion of Blocks 39, 40 & 47 and a portion of vacated 18th Ave. adjacent to Block 32 together with a portion of those unplatted lands within Government Lot 12 of Section 26, T140N, R64W.
A spokeman for Interstate Engineer suggested returning the plat to the City Planning Commission.
Mayor Andersen said she has concerns with the plat complying with the City Ordinance, including access relative to bringing the road to grade, public access, and water and sewer issues.
The City Council voted to return the request to the Planning Commission.
Also considered was corrective action for the reclamation of filter bay backwash water at the Water Treatment Plant.
City Engineer Reed Schwartzkopf said $15,000 needs to be set aside for it to remain a ground water treatment facility. He also proposed developing a 15 year capital improvement plan, to cover an emergency design to submit to the State Health Department.
The Council voted to appropriate $15,000.
The action will help bring the city into compliance with the State Health Department mandate.
Council Members than considered, the Alternate 4B of the Concept Alternatives Report, relating to the Sanitary Sewer Improvements project, and selection of routes for sewer mains resulting from the project.
Mayor Andersen said the recommendations come from the recent presentation by Interstate Engineering.
Darrell Hournbuckle from Interstate Engineering was on hand to re-explain the options.
Council Member Brubakken suggested the option of using the route of the least amount of pipe, with not as many properties involved, which Mayor Andersen agreed with.
The City Council voted to approve that option.
That option is projected to cost $8.8 million, the least expensive option.
The project is expected to be started in the spring of 2013.
The City Council then discussed the request from Nancy Williams for the vacation of the portion of north-south alley adjacent to the N.29.76’ of Lot 6, All Lots 7 thru 15, Tahran’s 2nd Addition, and Lot 1, Block 1, Alana Addition, all to the City of Jamestown.
The re-vote by the City Council to reconsider including all members present was approved.
Then the vote to approve the request was approved on a 4-1 vote, with Mayor Andersen voting against, as she did during the first vote….not wanting the alley vacation.
At a prior meeting one Council member was not present, and so the passage was not legal even though it passed at that meeting on a 3-1 vote.
Requests were considered for curb cuts along 13th Avenue Southwest to satisfy drainage requirements, with a lower curb cut for vehicle access.
No formal action was taken by the City Council at this time, but the consensus was to approve a plan, individually, with funding approval to come at a future City Council meeting.
The Council approved entering into an agreement with Interstate Engineering, Inc., for engineering services on Wastewater Treatment Plant System Improvements, Influent Piping, (CWSRF No. 380752-02.)
The vote was 4-1 with Council Member Brubakken opposed.
City Administrator Jeff Fuch says the action puts the agreement in writing as required to receive SRF Funding.
Committee Reports:
The City Council awarded the lowest and best bid for the purchase One (1) New Single Axle Truck (Cab & Chassis) for the Jamestown Sanitation Department to State Truck Center in the amount of $ 70,121.00.
The Council then awarded the lowest and best bid for the purchase One (1) New Heavy Duty Commercial Type Packer Body for the Jamestown Sanitation Department to Olympic Truck, in the amount of over $58,000.
The First Reading of an Ordinance, was discussed, concerned to amend and re-enact Section 8, Appendix B, of the City Code, concerning city planning. Some changes in the guidelines language draft was suggested to be made by City Attorney Ken Dalsted, and approved by the City Council.
Council Members Buchanan said the Ordinance needs more changes and be reviewed before approved.
Hearing from the audience: No one spoke….
Appointments: None were made…

Mayor Andersen said the JSDC Board has approved hiring a City Planner at a cost not to exceed $50,000, with an 80-20 split with the City to pick up 80 % and the County to pick up 20%. The approval will go to the City Council and County Commission.
