Police & Fire Committees<\/p>\n

No items for discussion at this time.<\/p>\n

The Public Works Committee discussed a letter of request relating to parking at 301 2nd Ave Northwest from Vining Oil & Gas, LLC, concerning signage with two hour parking for two parking spaces on the east side of the building. Dave Vining said the parking spaces are sometimes occupied by vehicles from the nearby apartment residents.<\/p>\n

The committee recommends approval of the request.<\/p>\n

The committee recommends establishing June 2 \u2013 7th, 2014 as the 2014 City Wide Clean-Up week. Crews will pick up items Monday-Thursday that week.<\/p>\n

The committee then recommended approving the Engineering Department AutoCAD software, with a three year subscription, replacing outdated equipment.<\/p>\n

The committee recommends adding a Street Foreman and Equipment Operator III position under the Street Department to the Stormwater Sub-Committee.<\/p>\n

Council Member Brubakken suggested to add to the new Southwest Jamestown water tower, either a Blue Jay logo, or the word \u201cJamestown\u201d rather than the approved one solid color with no logo. No official change order has been approved.<\/p>\n

The original base bid was for a white paint scheme with \u201cJamestown\u201d in black letters on one side.<\/p>\n

Mayor Andersen said tourism has expressed interest in having a logo on the tower, with no official request. She suggested making a color choice as soon as possible, with the logo to be decided later. Council Member Kourajian suggested a buffalo logo.<\/p>\n

The painting is scheduled for April this year.<\/p>\n

The committee Thursday, recommends moving the color choice decision to the April 7, 2014 City Council meeting.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A judge says a Minnesota man who was sentenced to a year in prison in a North Dakota drug case must serve another year for failing to show up at the prison.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Joseph Bellanger, of Naytahwaush, Minn., was originally sentenced in June to a year in prison after pleading guilty to aiding and abetting the distribution of a controlled substance. He was ordered to self-report to prison in August, but failed to show up.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 37-year-old Bellanger was apprehended by U.S. marshals in October. A judge last month denied his request to be released to attend his nephew’s funeral.<\/p>\n

\u00a0MANDAN, N.D. (AP) – State officials have reinstated the license of an assisted-living facility in central North Dakota that had been subject of complaints about its services.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Bismarck Tribune reports that the state Department of Human Services reinstated the license of Lakewood Landing in Mandan this week.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thirteen people were living at the facility at the time its license was revoked. It has capacity for up to 70 residents.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lakewood Landing administrator Judy Pepple has said the cause for the license revocation was personnel issues that had already been resolved. But state officials dispute that.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Medical Services Director Julie Schwab with the human services department has said safety concerns at the facility included medication management and supervision of residents with memory loss.<\/p>\n

\u00a0OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – An economist says a survey of bankers in 10 Midwest and Plains states suggests the regional economy is experiencing slow to no growth.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Rural Mainstreet Index rose slightly above growth neutral in March, to 50.1, compared with 48.4 in February.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The survey indexes range from 0 to 100, with 50 representing growth neutral. A score above 50 suggests growth in that factor in the months ahead.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Creighton University economist Ernie Goss oversees the survey, and he says the region will need to see more increases in farm commodity prices to push the agriculture-based economy back into healthy growth territory.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bankers from Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming were surveyed.<\/p>\n

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – An investigator with the federal Environmental Protection Agency is inspecting the site of an oil spill near the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers in northwestern North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The EPA’s emergency response coordinator in Denver on Friday was looking at how the 1,400-gallon spill has affected the waters, land owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and nearby wildlife management areas.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The oil spill was reported March 14 when rising water caused by ice jams flooded at least 16 oil wells in the confluence lowlands.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oil flowed from an unanchored oil storage tank owned by Colorado-based Zavanna LLC. State environmental geologist Kris Roberts says the oil was mostly trapped by containment booms, but some coated brush and grass.<\/p>\n

\u00a0MINOT, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota officials have toured the new Minot middle school that was rebuilt after being damaged by floods in 2011.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gov. Jack Dalrymple and U.S. Sen. John Hoeven on Thursday visited the new Erik Ramstad Middle School. The school was damaged when the Souris River flooded in June 2011.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say the project cost nearly $37 million. Funding came from federal, state and local sources.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The new building is about 25,000 square feet larger than the original facility and can accommodate 720 students.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The record flooding in summer 2011 caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.<\/p>\n
