Stutsman County Seeks Applicants for James River Valley Library, Buffalo Bridges Boards

The Stutsman County Board of Commissioners are now accepting applications for openings on the James River Valley Library System Board and Buffalo Bridges Human Service Zone Board." That public notice, posted February 5th, 2026 on the Stutsman County Public Notices page, tells prospective appointees to submit an "Application for Appointment" to the County Auditor by 5:00 PM, March 13th, 2026.

The notice provides the application pickup and submission options precisely: "Applications are available online on our Get Involved page, or from the County Auditor’s Office at 511 2nd Ave SE, Ste. 102, Jamestown, ND 58401." The County Auditor’s office address is the only contact listed in the notice; no phone number, email, or named auditor appears in the posted text.

Appointments are scheduled to be made on March 17th, 2026. The county’s public notice states verbatim that "Appointments to the respective boards will be made March 17th, 2026 with the official term commencing immediately." The notice does not state how many vacancies exist on either the James River Valley Library System Board or the Buffalo Bridges Human Service Zone Board, nor does it list term lengths or required qualifications for applicants.

Stutsman County’s Public Notices page includes an Upcoming Events section that lists local meetings and a Meetings Live Stream widget; the copied entries in the notice show meeting headings with the same stray punctuation as on the site, for example: "Human Service Zone Board Meeting") and "Park Board & Commission Meeting") [...]. The page also displays visual and interface elements such as "Stutsman County Loader Logo," "Stutsman County Logo," "Meetings Live Stream," and a footer reading "© 2026 Stutsman County" and "Powered by OneTap."

The public notice supplies the core procedural facts for would-be applicants but leaves key logistics unaddressed in the posted text. It does not give the number of open seats for either board, the specific time or venue for the March 17 appointments, or whether that appointment action will occur at a public Board of Commissioners meeting that will be livestreamed. Those details would need confirmation from the County Auditor’s Office or the Board of Commissioners.

Stutsman County’s February 5th notice establishes a tight timeline: applications due by 5:00 PM March 13, 2026, and appointments set for March 17, 2026, "with the official term commencing immediately." Prospective applicants should use the Get Involved page or the County Auditor’s office at 511 2nd Ave SE, Ste. 102, Jamestown, ND 58401 to obtain and submit the required "Application for Appointment.
