In January, prior to Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist’s State of the City address, city officials were looking at a potential $1.1 million deficit in 2020. However, with the passage of the federal stimulus package, the city is now looking to finish last year in the black.
On Monday, Ryan Thompson presented the unaudited 2020 year-end financial report to the Jamestown City Council. He said the city finished last year with a $975,643 surplus.
