The board reviewed a proposed five-year land lease with Raptor Ranch; the lessee will accept the same annual payment, and board staff will coordinate annual payments via the clerk. Members asked staff to confirm start dates and finalize lease language before execution.

The full story

Board members reviewed an updated lease proposal with Raptor Ranch. Members reported that Raptor Ranch would accept the same annual payment and that staff would arrange for Rochelle to send an annual check. The board discussed ambiguous terms in the written lease (dates and historical cross-outs) and asked staff to confirm the most recent payment dates and to bring a clean, updated lease showing the intended start date (one member suggested a July 1 or August 1 effective date to bring paperwork current).
