Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0\u00a0 The Jamestown City Council’s Fire, Committee on Tues, considered an action plan to replace the State of ND ladder truck.<\/p>\n

Mayor Heinrich said the State of ND has indicated that it will no longer pay the costs for the ladder truck.<\/p>\n

He added the state legislature will meet in January of 2021.\u00a0 He said area state legislators are supportive of a new ladder truck in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

He said Fire Chief Reuther has indicated the cost of a new ladder truck for $1 million.<\/p>\n

Mayor Heinrich proposes the cost to paid \u00a0from one-third state funds, and the city and local industry cover two-thirds of the cost.\u00a0 He said donations, pledges, payment plans and the like need to extend over a five year period.\u00a0 Once the agreements are reached the city would be able to order the ladder truck.<\/p>\n

City Fire Chief Jim Reuther this is the best plan of action, and that it \u201cis doable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The committee recommends endorsing the action plan.<\/p>\n

Chief Reuther said a similar ladder truck will be stopping in Jamestown on Wednesday February 26 from about 9:30-a.m. to 11-a.m., at the city fire hall, for the public to view.<\/p>\n

Considered was the employee policy revision allowing law enforcement personnel to live within a specified response time. Police Chief Edinger said department members concurred that the officer live within 20 minutes driving time.<\/p>\n

Fire Chief Jim Reuther said a 20 minute drive is too long to respond to a fire call.\u00a0\u00a0 The department has a policy that part-time fire fighters can live within one mile of Jamestown.<\/p>\n
