Curbside collections over the past five years courtesy of the City of Jamestown
JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The amount of items collected during Citywide Curbside Cleanup was down compared to previous years.
City Administrator Sarah Hellekson reports that crews finished collecting before noon in each quadrant of the city with the final load being dropped off Thursday afternoon.
“Thanks to city staff for working so hard and on very short notice,” Hellekson stated. “The community appreciated it, as evidenced by the very few, if any, complaints we received at City Hall.”
Collection started in the SE part of Jamestown on Monday, with roughly 34 tons of bulk collected. On Tuesday, 63 tons were collected in the SW. In the NW Wednesday, 35.9 tons were collected and Thursday in the NE, around 43.11 tons were picked up.
Councilmember Dan Buchanan made the motion to extend the policy through October, adding the language that limited the policy to those who could not receive the COVID-19 vaccination. The committee unanimously approved. Councilmember David Schloegel was not present.
Later, Councilmember Steele informed the committee of the need for State of ND CARES Act reimbursement to be used toward infrastructure and building repairs and improvements at the Frontier Village.
The amount of $25,000 was considered to be paid from the Frontier Village Fund to begin some of those repairs, which Steele says isn’t enough to do it all, but Jamestown Tourism was looking to collect donations to move forward with more repairs.
