Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corp. Board of Directors, Monday approved membership appointments. Ritchie Wolf, C.J. Janke and Tom Hausman will begin their memberships on the board beginning January 1, 2016. The three new members replace Gary Riffe, Eric Tuchscher and Brent Harris, who all declined to seek re-election. The board also elected Kelly Rachel and Lorrie Pavlicek to second terms on the board.

The board also reviewed CEO Connie Ova’s job evaluation. She received an above average ranking from the 11 board members who filled out review forms.

The evaluation included an objective developing a new board member orientation process in the next two months. The evaluation did not include a wage increase, which has occurred in past years after evaluations.

The JSDC also approved a grant of up to $5,000 for the Jamestown bus depot project. The grant passed unanimously and will be funded by the JSDC workforce recruiting budget in an effort to bring more workers into Jamestown.
