Summary
At the sixteenth‑section item the board opened bids on several tracts, noted bid amounts and accepted the recommended bids; bids included named bidders and per‑acre offers.
During the sixteenth‑section agenda (Item 11), the board opened sealed bids for multiple tracts and accepted the recommended leases.
Board staff read bids for several parcels, citing acreage and per‑acre offers. Bidders and quoted per‑acre amounts included Jerry McNeese (bid noted as $12 per acre), Jimmy Evans (current leaseholder; $10 per acre reported in one listing), Justin C. Echols (bid of $14 per acre), Samantha Sullivan (bid $20.77 per acre for a 60‑acre listing), Angela Nipper (for Ruby Nail Bullock, $10 per acre), Johnny Powell (bid $30 per acre for a listed tract), and Jason DeCardon (bid $24.75 per acre for an 80‑acre tract). The board moved to accept the bids as presented; the motion carried 5–0.
Staff noted one bid check was enclosed but not made out to the district and corrected a acreage misprint in the record during roll call. The board directed that accepted bids proceed through the standard lease processing steps.
The motion to accept the bids was made by Mister Walters and seconded by Mister Jenkins; the board vote was 5–0 to accept the bids read into the record.
