Letter to the editor: Council should not take JSDC funds for other uses

I cannot stress enough the importance of maintaining the funds allocated to the Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corp. and how wrong the City Council is to consider taking funds from the very corporation that was established to help Jamestown grow. Why redirect funds that are used for job development? Former councils realized that to ensure Jamestown’s future growth, it had to set up an organization that could deal with the ever-increasing challenges of helping the area grow.

The City Council’s Public Works Committee voted 4-1 Thursday to form a committee to work on funding options with the Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corp. for city infrastructure. The discussion started with those in favor of and those against using half, or about $1 million a year, of the 1 percent sales tax for economic development on infrastructure needs in the city now and in the future.

Letter to the editor: Public should take questions to City Council meeting

On June 14, 2005, the public voted to renew the city’s 1-percent sales tax for economic development. The renewal gave Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corp. clear direction and an understanding of a working time frame (seven years minimum). JSDC has proceeded diligently. It has a mission statement, long-term goals, annual goals and a strategic plan. These in concert with the dedicated revenues represent the model of a successful organization that has followed the Scout motto, “Be Prepared.”

City council trims JSDC budget increase

The City Council’s Finance and Legal Committee voted 3-2 at its meeting Tuesday to cut the Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corp. 2009 budget to a 7 percent increase. Committee Chairman Pat Nygaard said the operations budget was 15 percent higher than last year’s and that’s “a pretty sizable increase.” He noted the city works to keep its budget down and the JSDC needed to do that as well. He, Councilwoman Kelani Parisien and Mayor Clarice Liechty voted to reduce the city’s portion of the JSDC budget from $302,000 to $280,000. Councilmen Ken Schulz and Charlie Kourajian voted against the adjustment.
