Committee approves hunting and trapping leases on Section 16 lands
Summary
The committee approved awards of the highest qualifying bids for hunting and trapping leases on Section 16 lands for 10‑year terms beginning July 1, 2026; purchasing reported about 14 bids met specifications and authorized re‑advertising sections with no bids or surrendered leases.
The committee recommended that the board accept the highest bids meeting specifications for hunting and trapping leases on Section 16 lands for 10‑year terms beginning 07/01/2026 and ending 06/30/2036. Purchasing staff said roughly 14 bids were received for this round and that most Section 16 parcels are now leased; water‑bottom parcels drew little interest. The committee approved the recommendations and authorized purchasing to re‑advertise sections with no bids or that had been surrendered.
Committee members noted the leases are intended to allow public enjoyment of the properties while providing a modest revenue stream for the district; staff said the amounts discussed were annual lease amounts. The motion passed with no objections.
