After a comprehensive briefing from Radio Communication Specialist Jay DeCoux about the National Weather Service (NOAA) weather radio repeater at Gunflint Lake (Magnetic Tower site), a weather station that has been under the county's ownership and maintenance since 2000, the commissioners collectively agreed to return the station, along with all its equipment, to NOAA. This decision was reached after NOAA identified the Gunflint station as 'critical to fulfilling its mission.' Following the 1999 Blow-down, Sheriff Wirt entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with NOAA in 2000. This agreement stipulated that Cook County would take on the ownership and maintenance of the station. The purpose was to ensure coverage to the end of the Gunflint Trail and in the BWCAW. At that time, the National Weather Service had deemed the Gunflint weather station 'not mission critical.' Despite this, Cook County was responsible for funding the operation, while NOAA provided radio contact.
