Supervisors asked to consider option 2 on dam, again

Submitted by admin on Thu, 09/14/2023 - 6:25pm

The Joe Reasoner Dam on the Des Moines River in Humboldt was the subject of more discussion and debate Monday, Sept. 11, at the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors' meeting as Board members clashed with County Conservation Board members.

By APRIL KELLEY
The Reasoner Dam was once again the hot topic during the regular Board of Supervisors meeting on Monday, Sept. 11 at the Humboldt County Courthouse.
Humboldt County Conservation Director, Todd Lee along with Board members Tate Satern, TC Loving, Mary Miner and Bob Rasmussen attended the meeting to present their proposal to the Board of Supervisors to attempt one more time to either repair or replace the Reasoner dam.
“It’s been four years since the Conservation Board started looking at options as far as what to do with the dam. On a personal note, I’ve been involved in different committees and groups that have been looking at what to do with that dam since 2004,” Lee continued.
“As you are aware the board has consulted with multiple different experts and engineers in the field and the board remains firm in their recommendation to you to pursue option two,” Lee said.
