JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – After nearly two months of discussion and research, the Jamestown Public Works Committee moved to approve a Citywide Cleanup for the week of May 10th through the 14th.
Sanitation Foreman Shawn O’Neill informed the committee that if they were to move forward with the cleanup, he would not have enough staff at this time to conduct the weeklong event.
O’Neill stated they would need to rent two loaders with six part-time employees to help during the week. Councilmember David Steele stated that Deputy Auditor Jay Sveum would be tasked with finding part-time work for the week.
JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The City of Jamestown will look to explore some variation of the curbside pickup program later this month.
Originally, a proposal was considered by the city to extend baler hours during the week of May 10th through the 14th for a clean-up/drop-off week.
Councilmember Brian Kamlitz stated he was getting a lot of feedback from constituents calling for the return of the program.
Earlier in the meeting, the council approved a bulk pilot program beginning June 1st at a cost of $5 per item for residents and property owners. This would allow them to pay crews to pick up large items year-round and take them to the baler for disposal.
