Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 The Jamestown City budget committee meeting was held Wednesday morning at City Hall, to further discuss the 2019 city budget.<\/p>\n

At the last budget meeting, the committee left the preliminary budget with an mill levy increase of 24 mills, in order to have nearly $2 million dollars in the reserve fund, and offset the projected deficit.<\/p>\n

On a recent Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Mayor Heinrich said the city budget process takes in to account that the city\u2019s share of General Fund budget dollars was insufficient to fund both the Jamestown Police and Fire Department budgets.\u00a0 He pointed out that with cuts in state funding, Jamestown will have a total of $886,000 less in\u00a0available funding from the state compared to\u00a0the past few years.\u00a0 That includes $386,000 no longer coming from the North Dakota\u2019s property tax subsidy, \u00a0in addition to $500,000 less in state funding for the 2019 city budget, stemming from a sharp downturn in the gas and oil extraction tax.<\/p>\n

At Wednesday\u2019s meeting of the budget committee, City Administrator Sarah Helleckson reviewed various budgets with income an expenditures.<\/p>\n

She said the mill level increase is reduced to 19 mills, which would raise, $4,840,000.<\/p>\n

The reduction stems from transferring $1.4 million from utility funds, including $676,000 out of the water utility, along with the sanitary sewer, and vector control funds.<\/p>\n

The 2019 General Fund budget is $8.5 million, with expenditures of $8.25 million.<\/p>\n

That leaves the 2019 General Fund budget with $2-million, in reserves, which was the goal.<\/p>\n

Mayor Dwaine Heinrich said with the income side of utility fee collections, the dollars needed with a rate increase will need to be determined.<\/p>\n

The option of utilizing a portion of \u00a0the 7-percent city sales tax, being transferred, to the General Fund was discussed, but was not seriously considered at Wednesday\u2019s meeting.\u00a0 That could be accomplished by City Council vote, or a public vote, including any increase in the tax.<\/p>\n

Mayor Heinrich pointed out that the North Dakota legislature meets in 2019, and constituents should talk with their representatives about possibly allotting more budget dollars for cities.<\/p>\n

At Wednesday\u2019s meeting the Council decided, that before making a decision on accepting the preliminary budget to review the revised the figures, and determine how much the utility rates need to be increased, to raise the appropriate number of dollars.<\/p>\n

The next budget meeting is set for Monday September 10th, at 2-p.m., at City Hall.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s meeting was shown live on CSi Cable 67.<\/p>\n

From Stutsman County Emergency Manager, Jerry Bergquist\u2026.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) Century Link completed repairs to the cable cut at 3:11 a.m. Wednesday, with all area 9-1-1 traffic being re-routed back to Stutsman County Communications in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

The location of the cable cut is not known to us at this time. CenturyLink may have follow up information available sometime today.<\/p>\n

He says, at approximately 3:40 p.m. Tuesday, CenturyLink reported an outage that created a loss of long distance service in the Jamestown and Stutsman County area. The loss of long distance service meant that anyone dialing 9-1-1 could not get through to the Stutsman County Communications Center. At about 5:40 p.m. CenturyLink verified that a cable cut had occurred between Fargo and Jamestown which was the reason for the outage.<\/p>\n

Almost immediately 9-1-1 calls originating from either a cell phone or a Dakota Central Telecommunications (Daktel) customer were re-routed to State Radio in Bismarck where they were answered. Pertinent information was conveyed back to Stutsman County via cell phone. It was early evening before 9-1-1 calls originating from a CenturyLink customer could also be re-routed to State Radio. It\u2019s believed at this time that no incoming reports of emergency situations were missed.<\/p>\n

During the early portion of the outage, CenturyLink customers could only talk to CenturyLink customers, Daktel customers could only talk to Daktel customers, and cell phone customers could only talk to cell phone customers. Long distance calls could not be made utilizing a land-line phone, but long distance calls could be completed via a cell phone.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A longtime family-friendly tradition is on the auction block in Bismarck.<\/p>\n

The Bismarck Tribune reports<\/a> that the Super Slide Amusement Park was put on the market Aug. 4 after providing entertainment to local residents for 51 years.<\/p>\n

The attraction features a giant slide, Ferris wheel, roller coaster, go-carts and mini golf. David Fleckenstein, his wife Angie and his brother Richard have owned and operated the amusement park for decades. The family says the sale is due to their upcoming retirement.<\/p>\n

Richard Fleckenstein declined to disclose the asking price, adding that it’s “negotiable.”<\/p>\n

The park will continue to operate as normal in the meantime, with Sept. 9 marking the end of the season. Super Slide is closed during the fall and winter, and is expected to reopen in May.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Bond has been set at $300,000 for a Bismarck man charged with killing his infant daughter.<\/p>\n

Twenty-two-year-old Jose Rivera-Rieffel is charged with murder, child abuse and disobedience of a judicial order and appeared in South Central District Court Tuesday.<\/p>\n

A court document says Rivera-Rieffel was the sole caretaker of his two baby daughters before the injured child was brought to the hospital in April. The Bismarck Tribune<\/a> reports an affidavit says the child died of blunt force trauma to the head about a week after being admitted.<\/p>\n

Last year, Rivera-Rieffel pleaded guilty to child abuse involving the other baby and was ordered to have no contact with the child. The babies’ mother, Jennyfer Lopez pleaded guilty earlier this month to contributing to the deprivation of a minor for leaving the children in Rivera-Rieffel’s care.<\/p>\n

STURGIS, S.D. (AP) \u2014 The South Dakota Department of Transportation’s tally of traffic at this year’s Sturgis Motorcycle Rally shows a nearly 8 percent increase over last year.<\/p>\n

Sturgis City Manager Daniel Ainslie tells the Rapid City Journal<\/a> that the number of vehicles attending last year’s rally started strong, but fell off as the event progressed. He says this year’s traffic sustained throughout the 10-day rally from Aug. 3-12.<\/p>\n

The department’s count shows nearly 506,000 vehicles entered Sturgis this year. The agency tallied about 469,100 vehicles entering the city during the 2017 rally.<\/p>\n

Ainslie says increased advertising helped boost and maintain the rally crowd this year. The ads targeted individuals who may not have attended the rally before or have only attended once.<\/p>\n

He says final attendance figures will be determined in October.<\/p>\n

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) \u2014 A lawyer for Paul Manafort is working to reduce the former Trump campaign chairman’s culpability in any financial crimes. During Manafort’s trial for tax and bank fraud, his attorney told jurors in closing arguments Wednesday that Manafort left the particulars of his finances to other people. The attorney says that Manafort employed a team of accountants, bookkeepers and tax preparers, which shows he wasn’t trying to hide anything. Prosecutors say he lied to them.<\/article>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Few members of the black community are rushing to defend Omarosa Manigault Newman in her dispute with President Donald Trump over her tell-all book titled “Unhinged.” In promoting her book, she has called Trump a racist. But some in the black community note that while working for Trump, she defended him and kept silent as he repeatedly attacked the American citizenship of former President Barack Obama.<\/article>\n

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) \u2014 According to a Pennsylvania grand jury report, it’s “too early to close the book on the Catholic Church sex scandal.” The report concludes that about 300 Roman Catholic priests in Pennsylvania molested more than 1,000 children since the 1940s. It says top church officials have mostly been protected, with some even getting promotions. Prosecutors found that in nearly every case, the statute of limitations has run out. And more than 100 of the priests are dead.<\/article>\n

ISTANBUL (AP) \u2014 Some Turks are reacting with defiance to their plunging currency and an escalating dispute with the United States, in an indication that they are ready to endure economic pain and risk further deterioration in an alliance dating from the Cold War. Analysts question the effectiveness of any Turkish boycott of U.S. goods and Turkey’s tit-for-tat tariffs on some American exports, but the Turkish government’s framing of its problems as an epic battle for sovereignty resonates among supporters.<\/article>\n
