City renews mowing leases; Bouma Farms wins West Lynden pond lease
Summary
The council noted 2025–2026 mowing lease arrangements: previous tenants agreed to renew two leases and Bouma Farms Inc. submitted the sole response for the West Lynden Detention Pond lease.
The minutes show that bids were solicited in November 2024 for leasing city‑owned property to cut and remove field grass at three parcels: 8600 Benson Road (4.95 acres), West Lynden Detention Pond (13 acres) and Heritage Park (1.6 acres). One response was received from Bouma Farms Inc. for the West Lynden Detention Pond property; the city reached out to previous tenants of the other two properties, and those tenants agreed to renew the leases for 2025–2026.
The consent agenda that approved the leases was adopted 7‑0. The minutes do not list lease rates or specific tenant names for the renewed properties beyond Bouma Farms Inc.'s response for the detention pond.
