Today's riddle: Why are crows so alert and curious? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Jamestown Council Defers Charter Review Panel to December (upriseri.com) — Jamestown's Town Council has decided to leave appointments to a new charter review committee on the Financial Town Meeting to the council that takes office in December, meaning applicants will be re‑contacted and interviews held later this year. Members want the next council to shape the panel's work on possible budget‑voting changes, while also moving ahead with a new parks and recreation committee and a Fort Getty bathroom renovation.
• Jamestown Tables Free Fort Getty Trailer Spots Request (upriseri.com) — Jamestown's Town Council has put off granting five free, year‑round trailer spaces at Fort Getty Park for aquaculture operators, asking staff to refine how the spaces would work, who qualifies, and what revenue the town might lose. Councilors generally support helping local growers but want clear rules, defined footprints, and fairness to other users before deciding, so residents should expect a revised proposal at a future meeting.
• Jamestown Board Weighs Paying to Print Sample Ballots (upriseri.com) — Jamestown's Board of Canvassers is debating whether the town should pay to print full sample ballots in the Jamestown Press so voters can study local races before early voting begins October 14. Members worry many residents missed the primary's sample ballots, and are weighing ad costs, Open Meetings rules, and better promotion of online and Town Hall ballot access before making a decision.
