Commissioners approve $200-per-month lease with Sheep Auction; proceeds split for 4-H and Fair Board
Summary
Woodson County commissioners voted 2-1 on May 19 to contract with the Sheep Auction for $200 per month, with proceeds split 60% to the 4-H Building Fund and 40% to the Fair Board, pending contract amendments and signatures.
The Woodson County Board of Commissioners voted on May 19 to enter a lease agreement with the Sheep Auction for $200 per month, pending final contract amendments and signatures. Commissioner Kevin Stuber moved the contract; Commissioner Justin Clark seconded and the motion passed 2-1.
The lease terms approved by the board allocate 60% of proceeds to the 4-H Building Fund and 40% to the Fair Board. During discussion, Dale Lanham of the Sheep Auction proposed a $100 monthly fee for a three-year term; commissioners had earlier discussed alternatives including a $300 monthly fee or a $0.25 per-head charge and debated utility usage during sales.
Commissioner Jerry Sedlacek raised alternatives during deliberations and was the lone dissenting vote. The approved motion directs the county to finalize contract language and obtain signatures before the lease takes effect.
The decision follows conventional board procedure: the motion was moved, seconded, and recorded as passing by a 2-1 tally. The commissioners did not specify an effective start date in the public minutes; contract amendments were noted as pending.
