Jamestown Lists Multiple Public Meetings Week of Feb. 9; NRC Reports None
Jamestown lists several local public meetings the week of Feb. 9 while the NRC reports no Commission meetings for Feb. 9–Mar. 16; residents should note the different jurisdictions.

Jamestown Sun's community calendar published Feb. 7 lists multiple local public meetings for the week beginning Feb. 9, even as a Federal Register notice from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission states there are no NRC Commission meetings scheduled for the weeks of Feb. 9, Feb. 16, Feb. 23, March 2, March 9, or March 16, 2026. The apparent contrast reflects different governing bodies and does not mean local business has paused.
Local items flagged by the Jamestown Sun include the Jamestown Planning Commission on Monday, Feb. 9, the Central Valley Board of Health, the Jamestown Parks and Recreation Commission, and a truncated entry described as a “public input meeting on potential.” The newspaper entry does not provide times, locations, agendas, or contact names in the supplied extract, so Stutsman County residents seeking to testify or observe should verify specifics with city offices or the Jamestown Sun calendar before attending.
At the federal level, the NRC’s Feb. 4, 2026 notice is explicit: “There are no meetings scheduled for the week of February 9, 2026.” The notice repeats that phrase for each week through March 16, and is filed under FR Doc. 2026-02451. The NRC advises members of the public may request electronic distribution of its notices by contacting the Office of the Secretary at 301-415-1969 or by emailing Betty.Thweatt@nrc.gov or Samantha.Miklaszewski@nrc.gov. For verification of meeting status, the notice lists Wesley Held at 301-287-3591 and Wesley.Held@nrc.gov. The NRC also provides accommodations information via Reasonable_Accommodations.Resource@nrc.gov and cites its authority under the Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b.
Other calendar items captured in the source material show a patchwork of municipal and regional listings that do not affect Jamestown meetings directly. The City of Virginia Beach lists a City Council meeting for Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2026, in the City Council Chamber and Conference Room at 2401 Courthouse Drive, Building 1, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23456, with a note that “Anyone wishing to speak virtually, via WebEx, must follow the two-step process provided below” (process not included in the extract). The Federation of Canadian Municipalities lists virtual committee meetings Feb. 17–20 and other event dates, while Rankin County pages record planning and board meetings Jan. 29 and Feb. 2 at the Courthouse Annex and a county office closure Feb. 16.
What residents need to know is straightforward: Jamestown municipal bodies appear to be meeting the week of Feb. 9, and those gatherings are distinct from any NRC Commission schedule. To attend or submit public comment, confirm meeting times, locations, agendas, and participation rules with Jamestown municipal offices or the Jamestown Sun calendar. For questions about federal NRC scheduling or to request electronic distribution of NRC notices, contact Wesley Held or the Office of the Secretary using the phone numbers and emails provided in the Federal Register notice.
