Russell reported new business at the Jan. 27 meeting asking that the director of public safety formally acknowledge Officer Jeremy Maggio’s actions during an early-morning Nov. 4, 2024 incident at Jamestown High School.

Russell described Maggio, serving as the school resource officer that day, encountering a student in a mental-health crisis who was threatening self-harm with a knife. Russell said Maggio isolated the student, summoned school security and police backup and engaged in verbal dialogue, positioning himself in the egress doorway and working to de-escalate the situation.

“Officer Maggio was able to deescalate the student over the course of several minutes,” Councilman Jeffrey R. Russell said in the meeting. Russell asked that a letter of accommodation be placed in Maggio’s personnel file.

Russell framed the request as recognition of positive police actions; he said he was respectfully submitting the letter to the director of public safety, Timothy Jackson, and requested it be part of the officer’s permanent record. The transcript does not record a separate motion or roll-call vote on the requested personnel filing.","Councilman Jeffrey R.

A presenter told the council the briefing included a PowerPoint and a substantial demographic review going back to Feb. 2010 and suggested the countywide work had a heavier emphasis on North County than on Jamestown. The presenter said the planning commission will forward the materials to the council and recommended posting the presentation to the city website so residents can review it.

A staff member said the study is already posted on the Department of Development’s webpage. Another participant, who said they serve on the housing committee with the partnership, noted that some wind and other development projects in other areas are being led by organizations outside the county partnership but confirmed the partnership and city staff are working on local development projects.

Councilors asked that the information be made available to the public and expressed interest in seeing how the study’s findings apply to Jamestown.","A January planning commission briefing on a housing market assessment was reported to the council.

Councilman DiVersa introduced the resolution, saying in the meeting: “Resolve that the city controller be and hereby is authorized to make the following amendment to the 2023 general fund budget to recognize additional consolidated local street and highway improvement program... The increase, appropriations for the chips outweigh $1,019,630.19.”

Council members followed with comments that the funding would be welcome and used in conjunction with contractors and the public-works department. One council member noted this is “pothole season” and urged patience on a state-owned route in the city, saying Second Street (state route 394) is undergoing a New York State Department of Transportation upgrade that is taking extra time but that the combined efforts and the CHIPS funding should help produce smoother roads.

The amendment increases estimated state highway aid revenue by $1,019,630.19 and raises CHIPS capital outlay appropriations by $500,310.93. The resolution was approved by roll call.

Council discussion focused on practical roadwork scheduling and coordination with state DOT work on Second Street; no formal amendments to the resolution were recorded in the transcript.","The Jamestown City Council voted to amend the 2023 general fund to recognize $1,019,630.19 in state Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS) funds, allocating $500,310.93 to CHIPS capital outlay.","actionData","errors"]
