Local Boards Meet This Week, Key Sessions Affect Jamestown Services
A slate of public meetings this week included hospital governance, economic development, parks management and upcoming sessions on weed control, water management and urban forestry. These meetings shape services that affect public health, local business support, recreation and land stewardship across Stutsman County.
Stutsman County residents had several opportunities this week to observe and influence local government decision making, with Monday sessions now concluded and important meetings scheduled later this week. The North Dakota State Hospital Governing Body met Monday morning at the LaHaug Archibald Conference Room at 2605 Circle Drive in Jamestown to discuss oversight matters affecting patient care and facility operations. The Jamestown Stutsman Development Corp Board of Directors convened at 11 45 a m in the lower level conference room at the chamber JSDC building, 120 2nd Street SE, addressing economic development priorities and local business support. The Jamestown Parks and Recreation Commission met at 5 p m in the multipurpose room at Two Rivers Activity Center, 1501 5th Street NE, where program scheduling and park maintenance are routinely reviewed.
Looking ahead, the Stutsman County Weed Board will meet Wednesday at 7 a m at the Weed Board Office, 914 5th Street SE in Jamestown. That board sets strategies and hearings related to noxious weed control, which affects agricultural operations, roadside safety and property management across the county. Also Wednesday at 3 30 p m the James River Valley System Board of Directors will meet at Alfred Dickey Public Library, 105 3rd Street SE, to consider regional drainage and water management issues that influence flood risk, crop protection and municipal infrastructure.
On Thursday at 4 p m the Forestry Committee will convene at Jamestown City Hall with phone access available, continuing discussions on the city tree canopy, hazardous tree removal and urban forestry maintenance that directly affect neighborhood safety and aesthetic value.

Public attendance at these meetings matters because board decisions drive budgeting, regulatory enforcement and program priorities that touch public health, local economy, recreation and rural land stewardship in Stutsman County.
