Council sets Quonset building lease at $150 per year for five years; one ‘no’ vote
Summary
The Bowdle council approved a five-year lease for the large Quonset building for $150 per year after debate; councilmember Russ Maier initially proposed $150/month but later voted no on the approved annual rate.
The City of Bowdle council debated lease pricing for the large Quonset building used by Bruce and Del Huber and approved a five-year lease charging $150 per year. Russ Maier proposed a different motion to charge $150 per month but that motion received no second. Darryn Barnhardt moved an alternative motion to set the lease at $150 per year for a five-year term; Mayor Rick Boschee polled council members and the motion passed with Maier voting no.
The minutes record the final terms (rate $150 per year; five-year lease) but do not provide additional details about included utilities, maintenance responsibilities, or a start date for the lease term. The council did discuss potential crop-damage reimbursement related to future infrastructure work on the leased land and decided to defer any compensation decision until after construction and weather impacts were known.
