Commissioners approve boilerplate fairgrounds lease and add ban on subleasing
Summary
Board approved a boilerplate lease for fairgrounds tenants and directed staff to add a no-subleasing clause.
Jennings County commissioners approved a boilerplate lease agreement for tenants renting buildings at the fairgrounds and directed the auditor's office to add language prohibiting subleasing.
The agreement is intended to standardize leases for tenants who rent fairground buildings and to clarify county rights to enter properties for fair preparation and other events. Commissioners discussed notice provisions related to vacating space for the 4-H fair and agreed tenants should be required to sign annually with fair date information.
Commissioners asked the auditor's office (Alex) to add explicit language forbidding subleasing; the motion to approve the boilerplate lease with that modification passed unanimously. The transcript records that one known tenant is awaiting a signed lease; the board authorized the auditor's office to proceed with signing and to notify tenants as required.
The lease sets a monthly rate of $100 ($1,200 per year) for the kinds of building tenancies discussed; commissioners considered whether to make terms month-to-month but left the approved form as a one-year lease with annual notice tied to fair scheduling.
