\"\"<\/a>Jamestown City Council<\/strong> will vote to add a final installment of funds to the Senior Citizen Home Improvement Incentive Program<\/strong> tonight.<\/p>\n

The Council<\/strong> Finance Committee<\/strong> had recommended using an additional $282,856 in American Rescue Plan<\/strong> funds to cover applications to the Senior Citizen Home Improvement Incentive program that weren’t funded initially.<\/p>\n

However, the resolution filed under new business would allocate an additional $377,528. The resolution states the funds would come from the ARP’s “Healthy Communities and Neighborhoods fund.” Council member at Large Kim Ecklund<\/strong> had stated that council members did not want money to be allocated away from a Residential Home Improvement Incentive Program<\/strong> that had been funded with $500,000 last June. That program has not been set up yet by the City Assessor’s Office<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Council also will vote to use $900,000 in American Rescue Plan funds for water main replacements and street restoration on Roland Road and Juliet Street. The Department of Public Works<\/strong> and Jamestown Board of Public Utilities<\/strong> recommended the work be done after multiple water main breaks on both streets over the decades.<\/p>\n

In addition, Council will vote under new business on a five-year Animal Holding facility contract<\/strong> with Pick of the Litter<\/strong> in Falconer. The staff report said Pick of the Litter was the only entity that submitted a proposal. The contract would pay the agency $2,800 a month for board fees and\/or euthanasia for 360 dogs per year. Upon receiving the 361st dog, Pick of the Litter will charge $90 per dog for board fees and\/or euthanasia.<\/p>\n

The voting session will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers of the second floor of City Hall.<\/p>\n

It is open to the public and members of the public may also participate remotely in the meeting via videoconferencing by requesting a link from City Clerk Jennifer Williams<\/strong> at (716) 483-7612 or clerk@jamestownny.gov<\/a> in advance of the meeting.<\/p>\n

The meeting also will be livestreamed at https:\/\/www.jamestownny.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
