On the Agenda: Jamestown Council

Jamestown's council has a busy agenda tonight, so I'll just hit the highlights here.

* A public hearing will be held on a rezoning request for 404 W. Main Street. The planning board already recommended approval.

* Assistant Town Manager Kathryn Billings is asking the council to consider hiring a town planner -- a position the town has not had in the past -- and a finance officer -- which is a job Billings held until her duties were merged with the Assistant Town Manager position. Billings is set to become the Town Manager when John Frezell retires in May. The assistant town manager job would not be filled.

* Council will consider an amendment to town code that allows the town manager to sell property worth up to $30,000 without council approval. The move would match what state law allows and does not cover real estate, just things like old vehicles, furniture, etc. Current town rules set the limit at $5,000.

* A public hearing will be held on modifying the town code to match state planning laws.

What: Jamestown Town Council
When: 7 p.m. tonight
Where: Jamestown Town Hall
