Jamestown council discusses holiday decorating contest, donation truck and sidewalk repairs
Summary
Councilors agreed to advertise the town's Christmas decorating contest, discussed seeking sponsors to increase prize amounts, noted a donation truck heading to South Carolina and said planned sidewalk repairs are weather-dependent.
Councilors discussed several routine town items, including the annual Christmas home decorating contest, a community donation truck and sidewalk repairs.
The chair said the contest will follow prior prize tiers and asked whether the council wanted to seek sponsors or change prize amounts; one councilor suggested pursuing business sponsorships to increase cash or gift-certificate prizes. The council discussed using existing entry methods (phone-in sign-ups) and posting information on the city website.
The chair also noted a truck collecting donations for South Carolina is scheduled to go out in December and asked residents to drop donations at city hall if they do not want to deliver them themselves.
Finally, staff said sidewalk repairs are planned and will proceed as weather allows. A council member asked the chair to check on weed complaints in a Mayberry neighborhood affecting older residents; the chair said he would follow up.
These items were discussed as part of routine municipal business; no formal votes or policy changes on these items were recorded in the transcript.
