Jamestown, Stutsman County Public Meetings Scheduled for Week of April 6

The Stutsman County Park Board opens at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in the Commission Room at the Stutsman County Courthouse, 511 2nd Ave. SE, with the full Board of County Commissioners taking the floor immediately after the Park Board adjourns. The back-to-back sequence is the commission's standing schedule on the first and third Tuesday of each month.

Seated at that table will be Commissioner Ben Tompkins, a local farmer appointed in May 2025 by a 3-1 vote of his fellow commissioners to fill the vacancy created by the death of Commissioner Jerry Bergquist. Eleven residents had applied for the seat, making it one of the more competitive board appointments in recent county history. Commissioner Amanda Hastings is among the other members of the five-person, at-large board.

The Jamestown City Council is also scheduled to meet during the week of April 6. Mayor Dwaine Heinrich, first elected in 2018 and reelected since, presides over a four-member council that includes Brian Kamlitz, who chairs the Police and Fire Committee, and David Steele, who chairs Public Works. Agendas and minutes are posted at jamestownnd.gov/AgendaCenter. City Hall at 102 3rd Ave. SE is reachable at 701-252-5900 and open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., for residents wanting to confirm agenda items or public comment procedures before attending.

The week's calendar may also include sessions from the Weed Board, Water Resource Board and Library Board, smaller advisory bodies whose decisions on land management, water resources and grants ripple across Stutsman County's 2,298 square miles. County commission agendas, meeting minutes and a live-stream link for select sessions are available at stutsmancounty.gov.
