Jamestown (CSi) Meeting in Executive Session Monday morning, the Spiritwood Energy Park Association (SEPA) voted to approve a Resolution, to re-bid the rail loop project, and rescinded the bid awarded to Dakota Missouri Valley and Western Railroad.<\/p>\n

The action follows the discovery of bid irregularities, reviewing bids opened on January 6, 2014 .<\/p>\n

The panel pointed out unintentional actions that may have \u201ccreated irregularities\u201d in the bid evaluation process.<\/p>\n

No new date for a bid opening was set.<\/p>\n

Officials with RailWorks Track Systems alleged fraud and collusion against the Spiritwood Energy Park Association concerning a construction contract for a rail loop it awarded to Dakota Missouri River Valley and Western Railroad.<\/p>\n

The $7 million project will provide rail access to Dakota Spirit AgEnergy and possible future businesses in the Spiritwood Energy Park, a joint project of the Jamestown\/Stutsman Development Corp. and Great River Energy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Planning Commission is asking for more information about the Southwest Jamestown development between the Buffalo Mall and Jamestown Regional Medical Center.<\/p>\n

At Monday’s meeting the planning commission unanimously voted to invite landowners in the area, representatives of Stutsman Rural Water District and city officials to its March 10 meeting.<\/p>\n

The Planning Commission will retain the present leadership for the coming year. Chairman David Hillerud and Vice Chairman Jane Trautman were both unanimously re-elected to their posts.<\/p>\n

The Planning Commission has approved a zoning change for a four-acre parcel located northwest of Walmart from agriculture to local commercial. Developers plan a 40-unit apartment complex on the property.<\/p>\n

A preliminary plat of Eventide Addition was also approved. The plat includes all of the old Riffe First Addition and lots 1 and 2 of block 4 of Hi-Acres Hillcrest Addition into a single plat as part of the renovation project underway at Eventide Hi-Acres.<\/p>\n

LEITH, N.D. (AP) – A white supremacist who tried to take over a small North Dakota town has sold his house there.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Leith Mayor Ryan Schock tells The Bismarck Tribune that 62-year-old Craig Cobb sold the home to a resident of nearby Carson, and\u00a0 Grant County records confirm that.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cobb is accused of terrorizing Leith residents with guns last November. He has pleaded not guilty to seven counts of felony terrorizing and remains jailed. He could face up to 35 years in prison if convicted.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A district judge on Monday gave attorneys in the case three weeks to try to work out a plea deal.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cobb purchased a dozen lots in Leith after moving there about two years ago, and still owns three.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for sexually abusing a girl beginning about three years after he was released from prison for killing his infant child.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prosecutors had recommended a 20-year prison term for Erick McKay, of Devils Lake, but U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson ruled that special circumstances warranted a stiff sentence.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Erickson called McKay a danger to children and to the community. The judge had earlier sent notice to both sides that he was contemplating a sentence above federal guidelines.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 McKay was previously convicted in state court in 2002 of shaking his 7-week-old son to death and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 McKay had pleaded guilty to abusive sexual contact.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A federal public defender could not be immediately reached for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Increased crude oil and freight shipments largely have been blamed for causing rail delays. BNSF officials say rail service is being hampered by a wave of blizzards and subzero weather.

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A public hearing is slated in Bismarck on a proposed ordinance that would ban selling electronic smoking devices to minors.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Minors found possessing or using the product could be fined up to $70.<\/p>\n

\u00a0MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A panel of community leaders in North Dakota’s fourth-largest city has narrowed the list of applicants for city manager in Minot.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thirty-six people applied to succeed David Waind, who is stepping down in the spring after 35 years. There are now three remaining, including current City Finance Director Cindy Hemphill.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The other two finalists are Greg Sund, a former Dickinson city administrator who is now a county administrator in Kansas, and Minot native Kevin Degenstein, an engineer and energy company executive in Great Falls, Mont.
\n\u00a0
