Resident raises concerns about Oct. 18 cycling race and county staffing hours
Summary
A resident alerted commissioners to resource impacts from an Oct. 18 cycling race, reporting roughly seven additional deputy hours per officer and participation by six County Road Deputies and two Missouri Highway Patrol officers; commissioners plan a follow-up meeting with the event organizer.
At the Oct. 20 McDonald County Commission meeting, a resident identified as Mrs. Treadwell raised concerns about how a cycling race held on Oct. 18 was conducted and the county resources used to support it.
The minutes record that deputies logged additional time for the event: about seven extra hours per officer, with six County Road Deputies and two Missouri Highway Patrol officers assigned. Commissioners said they heard her concerns and intend to meet with the event organizer in the coming week to review how the event was handled and the county response.
The minutes do not include a detailed accounting of overtime pay or a line-item cost for the additional deputy hours, nor do they record responses from the event organizer; the only recorded next step is the planned follow-up meeting with the organizer.
The commission reconvened Oct. 22, 2025, according to the minutes.
