Following a year of contentious discussion and uncertain decision-making, on Monday night, the Humboldt County Conservation Board made a declarative statement.
The Board unanimously agreed to offer to put both the Reasoner and Rutland dams up for sale.
“Option 3 (taking out the dam) may be what we are left with. It’s all we can afford,” Conservation Board member Mary Miner said.
“It’s really unfortunate that misinformation led us to this point,” Conservation Board member Tate Satern said.
“I think we should put the (Reasoner) Dam up for sale. Have the Board of Supervisors set the date and have a public hearing, and if no one buys it, we can proceed as we wish,” Satern said.

The greatest 2-year run in Humboldt football history came to an end Saturday night (Nov. 12) in the Class 3A state semifinals inside the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls.

No. 2 seed Mount Vernon held off Humboldt in the final minute for a 14-6 victory over the Wildcats in what proved to be a battle of two of the best defenses in the state.

Mount Vernon (12-0) will meet Harlan (11-1) in the state championship game on Friday, Nov. 18, 1 p.m. in the UNI-Dome. Humboldt bows out at 10-2 overall.

The Wildcats' only points came on a pair of field goals by senior Trever Beach as Mount Vernon led just 7-3 at halftime.
