Board opens bidding process to lease Hornitos county parcel for cattle grazing
Summary
Supervisors adopted a resolution of intention on Aug. 5 to initiate a public bidding process for a county-owned parcel in Hornitos (APN 011190011) for cattle grazing, with a minimum starting bid identified in staff remarks.
The Board of Supervisors voted to open the public bid process for a grazing lease on a county-owned parcel in the Hornitos area. Administrative Analyst Robert Stark presented the item noting the parcel (APN 011190011) and said the board had previously directed staff on Dec. 17 to proceed with the lease process. If the board adopts the resolution, the county will run a three-week public notice and accept bids; opening of bids and a selection meeting are scheduled for Sept. 2. Supervisor Poe asked about the minimum price; county staff said the starting minimum bid is about $2,800 (annual). County Administrative Officer Joe Lynch said that figure had been determined with the assessor and local rental comparables and that the public bid process could yield a higher amount. The board adopted the resolution of intention 4-0. The item begins the formal public advertising and bid-opening steps required for leasing county land for grazing. No further procedural changes were made during the meeting; staff will post notices in local outlets and at Hornitos as described.
