Board approves farm lease for roughly 54 acres of district land
Summary
Trustees approved a farm lease with Mark Otto and Tim Ozer to farm about 54 acres of Northwest Junior District property through Dec. 31, 2026, after discussing whether the lease had been publicly advertised and confirming notice provisions around planting and harvest.
The Northwest Local School District board approved a farm lease agreement that allows approximately 54 acres of district property to be farmed by Mark Otto and Tim Ozer, with the contract effective immediately and ending Dec. 31, 2026.
During discussion trustees asked whether the lease had been advertised; staff said the parties approached the district and the specific lease amount was not publicly advertised. Board members also reviewed notice provisions that require two‑day or 60‑day notice depending on timing and said the lease includes protections to avoid interference with planting and harvest.
A motion to approve the lease was moved and seconded and passed on a roll‑call vote.
