Board approves five VAD renewal applications totaling about 200 acres
Summary
The board approved five voluntary agricultural district renewals this month — all renewals — reported by staff to total roughly 200 acres; staff will return with cost estimates and funding recommendations in August.
At the start of the meeting, staff presented five voluntary agricultural district (VAD) renewal applications and the board moved to approve them.
Martha (S4), who presented the item, said: "So it's, yeah, 5 renewal applications, totaling about 200 acres." The chair called for a motion, which was made and seconded; the transcript records an "Aye" in favor during the recorded exchange, though the meeting transcript does not include a named roll call or a complete named tally.
Why it matters: the renewals will keep current parcels enrolled in the VAD program and maintain the program’s enrollment level as staff continues outreach to landowners.
Next steps: staff will prepare transaction-cost and easement purchase estimates for related projects and will return to the board in August with those figures and a funding plan for projects that may be supported by AGZ and bond funds.
