Summary
The board agreed to pursue sealed bids for the county farm lease with a three‑year term, discussed advertisement methods and a timeline, and decided to review the contract again next week; contract cancellation by September 1 was referenced as a deadline for current arrangements.
Board members discussed the county farm lease and agreed to pursue a three‑year term to match other local agreements and the landfill timeline.
“That's kinda what looks what the landfill is doing. So I I say we just stay with that,” Brian, a board member, said, recommending a three‑year lease. Members discussed using sealed bids rather than an auction and agreed advertising should run two to three weeks via paper, radio, the auditor’s office and social media.
One board member noted a deadline connected to current contracts: “We have till September 1 to do that … they just have to contract just has to be canceled by September,” a member said. The board asked staff to review the draft contract for one more week and place the item on the agenda again next week for final action.
The board’s direction was to proceed with a sealed‑bid solicitation for a three‑year lease, advertise promptly, and return to the item at its next meeting for formal approval or rebidding; no final lease award was made at the meeting.
