Shotgun club seeks 25‑year lease extension for Berthusen property; council approves consent agenda
Summary
The Lynden Shotgun Club requested a 25‑year extension on its Berthusen property lease to pursue grant funding for upgrades; city staff added an Environmental Indemnification Agreement and included the request in the consent agenda approved 7‑0.
The Lynden Shotgun Club has leased the Berthusen property since 1971 and asked the city for a long‑term lease extension of 25 years to enable the club to pursue grant funding for future upgrades. Administration and the Parks Department reported they believe the extension is feasible after legal review and the addition of a new Environmental Indemnification Agreement.
The lease extension request was placed on the Jan. 21 consent agenda and approved when the council adopted the consent agenda by a 7‑0 vote. Staff said the change aims to provide the club with stability needed to seek external funding for site improvements.
