Bowdle council keeps city lots, discusses airport public use and approves 2025 farm/hay lease arrangement
Summary
The council denied requests to sell two city lots, discussed returning the airport to public use amid concerns about Agtegra bin heights, approved advertising a 2025 farm/hay lease and accepted a $1,000 annual security-light payment arrangement from two local tenants.
The council discussed two requests to purchase municipal lots — the 3rd Avenue lot and the former Pioneer lot — and declined both requests, deciding to retain the parcels for potential future commercial or business use.
On airport matters, Mayor Rick Boschee said he met with an inspector to discuss potentially returning the airport to public use and noted a concern that Agtegra grain bins adjacent to the field may be too tall for required clearances. The council did not take a final action on changing the airport's use at this meeting but agreed to advertise a farm/hay lease for 2025.
As part of the lease arrangement, Lyle Huber and Maurice Hoffman will each pay $1,000 annually to cover the cost of a security light; the contract will begin in January 2025. The motion to advertise the lease and accept the payment arrangement was made by Darryn Barnhardt, seconded by Rex Gab, and carried unanimously.
