Jamestown (CSi) All committees of the Jamestown City Council met Tuesday evening at City Hall. All members were present.
FINANCE & LEGAL COMMITTEE BUSINESS:
The committee recommends approving the request from JSDC for authorization to enter into a lease agreement with UTC for the lease of the JSDC building located on Jamestown Airport property. The lease amounts to $3,853 dollars per month.
The committee recommends approving the offer from Steve Arlen Ronngren to purchase Lot 1, Block 23, Lloyd’s 2nd Addition, in the amount of $3,000, covering expenses, taxes, and specials.
It was noted that a public hearing and Second Readings of Ordinance No. 1467 & 1468 pertaining to the 2016 City Budget, is scheduled for 6:00 PM, October 5th, 2015.
Prior to that meeting another budget meeting may be held, concerning the police department budget concerning policy issues.
Departmental and financial reports were presented.
BUILDING, PLANNING & ZONING COMMITTEE BUSINESS:
The committee recommends approval of the final plat of Wanzek Second Addition, a replat of Lots 1-4 Wanzek Addition, within the NE ¼ of the SW ¼ of Section 35, Township 140N, Range 64 West, within the City of Jamestown, Stutsman County, North Dakota. The action concerns the moving of an alleyway, and was approved by the City Planning Commission.
It was noted that a public hearing and Second Reading of an Ordinance to amend the City Code to change the zoning of Lot 1, Block 1, Meadowlark Lane Addition, from R-1 (One Family Residential District) to P-O-C (Public Open Development and Conservation District) for the TRAC facility is scheduled for the October 5, 2015, City Council meeting.
CIVIC CENTER AND PROMOTION COMMITTEE
No items scheduled at this time.
POLICE & FIRE COMMITTEE BUSINESS:
The committee reconsider an ordinance relative to allowing ATV & UTV vehicles to be used on City Streets.
At the August 27, 2015 meeting the committee considered first reading of an ordinance to recommend the use of All-Terrain-Vehicles and Utility-Task-Vehicles in the City of Jamestown and was defeated on a 3-2 vote. Mayor Katie Andersen and Councilman Ramone Gumke voted in favor of considering a first reading of an ordinance allowing the vehicles on city streets. Councilmen Charlie Kourajian, Dan Buchanan and Steve Brubakken opposed.
At Tuesday’s meeting Council Member Kourajian told the committee he has recently driven a UTV and found them safe, much like a small car, and wanted the UTV’s reconsidered for street use.
Council Member Brubakken said the National Safety Council does not recommend the use of UTVs on city streets. He added the street use opens the city up for liability issues.
The committee moved to reconsider.
Council Member Kourajian moved to recommend an Ordinance to approve UTVs, only, for street use in the city. The committee voted unanimously to recommend the First Reading.
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE BUSINESS:
The committee recommends the request from Mark McPherson for the City to construct (grading and blading) approximately 200 feet of additional rock surfacing to “open” 20th Street SW from the current property access (near 3rd Avenue SW) to 2nd Avenue SW, for off-loading vehicles, on a pad. The initial roadway will be gravel.
Mayor Andersen said the cost of graveling should come from the city budget, which Council Member Buchanan disagrees with.
Council Member Gumke moved to recommend the opening with the city responsible for blading and graveling.
The recommendation was approved unanimously.
Discussion concerned the paving of 5th Street NE from 12th Avenue to 27th Avenue NE.
The committee took no action.
It was noted that the Cavendish Water Tank Re-Coating project will need to be delayed until Spring of 2016 due to issues with gaining ND-SRF approval to proceed.
The meeting was shown live on CSI Cable 67, followed by replays.

Jamestown (CSi) James River Valley Library Board of Directors has accepted the bid for a bookmobile from an Ohio Company OBS Inc., that designs and builds specialty vehicles.,
The $243,000 bid was approved unanimously. Board member Jim Nyland, was not present.
The price includes all expenses of the bookmobile, except paint and wrap. The bookmobile will be white in color.
Three bids were received with only one being valid, as one bid arrived late, and another was submitted electronically and would have needed to be mailed and sealed for consideration.
Library Director, Joe Rector says, the bookmobile will be paid for through the library savings fund.
A grant, covering 15 percent of the total cost from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will also be allotted once the purchase is complete.
He says, the bookmobile will include a wheelchair lift, maximum space for books and rotating carts to appropriate for specific stops: For example, if the bookmobile is headed to a day care center, carts with books geared to that specific group could be put into the bookmobile and others rotated out.
The library is planning to sell the current bookmobile upon arrival of the new unit.
In other business, Rector says the library elevator is currently undergoing maintenance. Half of the total maintenance bill of $52,000 has been paid, and the second half will be paid when the repairs are complete.
The board also considered interior design recommendations previously made by Elizabeth Meed of JLG Architects, located in Fargo.
Rector is also looking to replace carpet in the library, primarily in the children’s sector as soon as possible. Rector plans to gives estimates for cost to replace the carpet by the end of the year.
Valley City (CSi-Valley City State University) VCSU has set a record with its final Fall Semester 2015 enrollment figures, which show a total headcount of 1,422. That number surpasses the previous high of a 1,384 headcount in 2011.
President Tisa Mason, says “The record enrollment we’re experiencing this fall reflects the quality education offered at VCSU and the choice students are making to be here. Not only are we attracting more new students, we’re also retaining more students who have entered the university and decided to stay at Valley City State.”
The record enrollment follows a record class of graduates in 2015, when VCSU awarded 302 degrees to 255 undergraduates and 47 graduate students.
Mason went on to say, “That we’re able to graduate record numbers while at the same time growing our student body speaks to the attractiveness of our programs. Consistently we’ve paired solid academics with a personal campus experience, and students and families have recognized the value of a Valley City State education. We’re very proud of our university and the students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends who contribute to our success—this is a team effort.”
Founded in 1890, VCSU is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. The university was recently ranked the No. 1 Public Regional College in the Midwest by U.S. News and World Report; it has been recognized as a U.S. News “Best College” for 18 consecutive years.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota man has been charged after being accused of assaulting a 6-year-old boy who was trying to call 911 during a domestic dispute.
40-year-old Duane Blackshear is charged with child abuse.
Court records show a police officer was dispatched to a Bismarck home after a woman called authorities to report that a boy was at her house saying Blackshear was hitting his mother.
The boy’s mother then told police that Blackshear had grabbed the boy by the neck to keep him from running to a neighbor’s home to call 911.
The officer reported the boy had minor scrapes on his neck. Records show the boy told police that Blackshear choked him.
Blackshear’s attorney didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment on the charge.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A Williston mother of four is accused of exposing her children to drugs, leaving them in the care of a man who used a kitchen spoon to administer punishment and not getting help for her son’s fractured bones.
Thirty-one-year-old Stephanie Johnsrud faces felony child abuse charges, along with misdemeanor drug and false reporting counts. She could face 37 years in prison if convicted. Court documents don’t list an attorney for her, and a listed home telephone number couldn’t be found.
The New Town man living with Johnsrud also faces felony child abuse charges. Court documents don’t list an attorney for 25-year-old Daniel Kempton, and he doesn’t have a listed telephone number.
Both suspects are due back in court Nov. 5. They could enter pleas then.
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) – A Bismarck man accused of attempting to force his way into a Mandan home with two girls inside has pleaded not guilty.
Forty-six-year-old Robert Meney is charged with felony criminal trespass and misdemeanor disorderly conduct. The felony charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. He entered not guilty pleas Monday.
Authorities alleged that Meney on Aug. 9 tried to force his way into a mobile home occupied by 11- and 15-year-old girls. The girls managed to keep him out.
TOWER CITY, N.D. (AP) – A Mayville man is in custody after authorities chased him for at least 80 miles in two states.
The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says 40-year-old David Schiebe was arrested Monday on charges including driving under the influence and fleeing a peace officer. A warrant for a parole violation was also out for his arrest.
Authorities say the chase began around 4:30 p.m. Monday when a Minnesota Highway Patrol trooper tried to stop Schiebe for a traffic violation in Moorhead, Minnesota. The vehicles traveled from Interstate 94 to Interstate 29 and continued on rural roads into Cass County.
North Dakota Highway Patrol troopers joined the search near Prosper and the chase ended when Schiebe ran out of gas near Tower City. He was arrested after he tried to flee on foot.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Schiebe has an attorney.
MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) – A Minnesota sheriff’s deputy has been disciplined for a comment he made on social media. Detective Jason Hicks was given a one-day unpaid suspension. Hicks wrote on Facebook that somebody should have “stomped his guts out” when referring to a man who was seen taking pictures of swimmers at Island Park Pool in Fargo in July.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Oil industry representatives say federal research on the qualities of crude oil from North Dakota shows that Bakken crude has been unfairly singled out in safety discussions. American Petroleum Industry spokeswoman Beth Treseder says several agencies appear to debunk the notion that Bakken crude is more flammable than other products. Treseder cited comments by NTSB Chairman Christopher Hart last week.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s spring wheat crop is in the bin, and more than half of the winter wheat crop is in the ground.
The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that the spring wheat harvest is done, the durum wheat harvest is 95 percent complete and winter wheat seeding is 52 percent done. Winter wheat is seeded in the fall and harvested the following summer.
The harvesting of soybeans is underway, but the maturing of the corn crop is behind the average pace.
The sugar beet harvest is 15 percent done and the potato harvest 32 percent done. Both are ahead of the average pace.
Pasture and range conditions in North Dakota are rated 50 percent good to excellent. Stock water supplies are 81 percent adequate to surplus.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Commissioners in Fargo are considering whether the city should begin celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day on the same day as the federally recognized holiday Columbus Day.
City commissioners could approve the change Monday through a resolution. If approved, Indigenous Peoples’ Day will be celebrated on the second Monday in October.
Columbus Day is a federal holiday that commemorates the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas on Oct. 12, 1492. Many Native Americans find that holiday offensive, considering the explorer’s brutal treatment of the natives.
Fargo commission member Crystal Gonzales says the holiday’s name change is more than symbolic. She says it is aimed at clarifying Columbus’ role in history.
A number of cities, including Seattle, have adopted Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

YOGI OBIT…
NEW YORK (AP) – The man who played in more World Series games than any other major leaguer, and was a three-time American League Most Valuable Player has died. Yogi Berra was 90 and died of natural causes Tuesday at his home in New Jersey, according to Dave Kaplan, the director of the Yogi Berra Museum. The Hall of Fame catcher was renowned as much for his dizzying malapropisms as his record 10 World Series championships with the New York Yankees and his name appears almost as often in Bartlett’s Famous Quotations as it does in baseball’s record book.

MILWAUKEE (AP) – The Milwaukee Common Council has approved funding for a new arena for the NBA Bucks, putting in place the final $47 million of public funding needed to replace 27-year-old BMO Harris Bradley Center.
Previously, the state and Milwaukee County had approved its share of the $250 million in public financing. The overall cost of the facility will be $500 million.
Without a new arena by 2017, the NBA has said it would buy the team and move it.
The Bucks have called Milwaukee home for nearly 50 years.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The only non-ticketed event of the pope’s visit is already drawing a crowd as people line up to try to grab a coveted spot to watch a late morning parade in Washington. Police and the Secret Service are enforcing road closures in the area and directing foot traffic. Pope Francis meets today with President Barack Obama and later with his U.S. bishops.
BRUSSELS (AP) – The European Union’s executive arm is opening 40 new infringement cases against 19 member states for failing to implement the 28-nation bloc’s common asylum rules. They include speeding up asylum decisions, ensuring humane treatment of asylum-seekers and clarifying grounds for granting asylum. Slovakia’s prime minister says his country is challenging an EU decision to redistribute 120,000 asylum seekers partly because the country is not ready to accept the burden.
MOUNT ARAFAT, Saudi Arabia (AP) – Muslim pilgrims have gathered for a day of prayer that serves as the high-point of the annual hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. Some 2 million pilgrims will be packed shoulder-to-shoulder for an emotional day asking for forgiveness and praying for loved ones. It’s believed that on this day some 1,400 years ago, Islam’s Prophet Muhammad delivered his final sermon from Mount Arafat.
NEWARK, Del.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Ugrunaaluk kuukpikensis (oo-GROO’-nah-luhk kook-pih-KEN’-sis) is quite a mouthful. The easier explanation is that researchers have uncovered a new species of plant-eating dinosaur in Alaska. The fossils were found in rock deposited 69 million years ago and were first thought to be a variety of a duck-billed dinosaur that roamed in herds. Further study uncovered differences confirming the find was another species.
