The board approved a one-year grazing lease for Nevan Sorensen at Blacktail for $318.80 and authorized the chairman to sign the lease. The parks presenter said the fee covers a one-year term and asked for board action to approve the price and signatory authorization; a motion to approve and authorize the chairman to sign passed on a roll-call vote.
On campground licensing, parks staff recommended advertising five seasonal campsites at Blacktail at a season price of $1,900 (derived from a prior nightly rate, total seasonal nights and a standard discount). Staff said applicants would have until April 16 to submit applications and a drawing would be held at the next park board meeting to allocate sites. The board moved, seconded and approved advertising five seasonal sites at $1,900.
