Sheep Auction seeks 10-year flat lease: commissioners hear proposal
Summary
Dale Lanham of the Sheep Auction proposed changing the facility lease to a $300 monthly flat rate for 10 years to cover utilities and rent; commissioners asked Lanham to consult the Sheep Auction Board and did not take final action.
Dale Lanham, representing the Sheep Auction, asked the Woodson County commissioners on April 21 to consider a lease change that would replace a per-head fee with a flat monthly amount of $300 for a 10-year term to cover utilities and rental costs.
County Counselor Bret Heim reviewed the existing lease language earlier in the meeting and recommended removing a redundant section. Lanham told commissioners the Sheep Auction Board would need time to review the proposed change. He said permanent structures on the site would remain county property, while portable pens and the long loading chute would remain the property of the Sheep Auction if operations cease.
No formal motion to change the lease was recorded in the transcript; Lanham requested time to consult the board and the commissioners did not vote on a revised agreement during the meeting. The matter remains under negotiation pending the Sheep Auction Board's review.
