(NewsDakota.com) – Stutsman County Highway Superintendent Mickey Nenow says the county is implementing its spring road restrictions starting Monday.

Nenow informed the county commission at Tuesday’s commission meeting. Nenow says the North Dakota Department of Transportation is also implementing road restrictions Monday on state roads in Stutsman County. Road restrictions limit the amount of weight that can travel on roads during the spring when the structure of roads is more vulnerable.

A mild winter has the NDDOT implementing road restrictions earlier than usual in many areas of the state.

JAMESTOWN (NewsDakota.com) – The Stutsman County Commission approved implementing a keycard security system for the Stutsman County Courthouse and Law Enforcement Center at a Tuesday commission meeting.

The commission accepted a bid of about $46,000 from Electronic Communications Inc. to install the system, which will be an upgrade from the current traditional key entry. An employee’s ID badge will act as their entrycard at various doors once the system is implemented.

Part of the project is covered by grant money. County auditor Casey Bradley says the improvement was recommended by a security assessment and vulnerability study. Bradley says the system keeps a log of everybody that goes through secure door in the building.

Courthouse maintenance supervisor Jim Fettig says implementing the system will likely take about a month once started. He says the current locks would have needed replacement in the near future.
