Summary
Commissioners toured Noel Dam and held a meeting to discuss ownership and future plans; attendees included 159th District Rep. Dirk Deaton and local participants Steve Helms, Jered Taylor and Dustin Shurback. The minutes record discussion but no formal decision or vote.
McDonald County commissioners took a tour and held a meeting at Noel Dam on Oct. 30, 2024 to discuss ownership and future plans, the minutes state. The minutes list attendees for the dam meeting, including 159th District State Representative Dirk Deaton and local participants Steve Helms, Jered Taylor and Dustin Shurback.
The minutes record discussion of the dam’s ownership and possible future plans but do not record a formal decision, action, or vote on ownership transfer or specific next steps. The record does not include detailed plans, proposed timelines, funding sources, or action items tied to a specific department or external agency.
County officials present at the broader officeholder meeting included Presiding Commissioner Bryan Hall and Eastern Commissioner Jamey Cope, among other county officers. The minutes indicate the commission toured the site and discussed ownership questions with the assembled attendees; they do not specify any follow-up assignment or required approvals from state or federal agencies.
Because the minutes do not include a resolution, motion text, or assigned follow-up, any procedural or legal steps necessary to change ownership or begin a restoration or management plan were not documented in the public minutes.
