McDonald County commissioners approve estimate to repair Annex Building foundation, authorize deposit for roof replacement

McDonald County commissioners approved an estimate to repair a leaking foundation at the Annex Building, 406/408 Harmon St., and authorized a deposit to begin a total roof replacement scheduled for Nov. 10, 2025, according to the Oct. 22, 2025 minutes.

The action is recorded in the minutes as approved, but the document does not state who moved or seconded the motion or provide a vote tally. The minutes list Bryan Hall as Presiding Commissioner, Jamey Cope as Eastern Commissioner, Rick Lett as Western Commissioner and Jessica Cole as County Clerk; no individual statements or quotes are recorded in the minutes.

The repair and roof replacement were listed under general business. The minutes do not specify the dollar amount of the estimate, the vendor, the funding source, or any timeline beyond the roof replacement date of Nov. 10, 2025. Those details are not specified in the minutes and would require staff follow-up to confirm contracting, costs and funding sources.

The commission adjourned and scheduled a reconvening for Oct. 27, 2025; the minutes bear signatures and a record line noting approval on Oct. 27, 2025, Book PP, page 589. The signatures section includes a transcription inconsistency for 'Jamey Cope' (appearing as 'amey Cope 2' in the minutes); the roster earlier in the minutes spells the name as 'Jamey Cope.'
