Board awards county farm lease to Anthony J. Rice after competitive verbal bidding
Summary
The Jackson County Board of Supervisors accepted the high bid from Anthony J. Rice for the county farm: $126,000 per year for a three-year lease, after staff completed financial verification and a public bidding exchange.
The Jackson County Board of Supervisors voted Nov. 18 to award the three-year lease for the county farm to Anthony J. Rice after an on-the-record verbal bidding process and verification of financials. The board chair announced the winning offer: "Rice, for 126,000 a year for 3 years," and the motion to accept the bid was made and seconded by board members.
Auctioned bids were presented and confirmed by county staff. Lisa from the auditor's office read initial offers (including an early $54,225 per year bid from Adam Rice and a $60,250 bid attributed to Joe Beach), and the competitive exchanges on the floor escalated the standing bid until Anthony J. Rice emerged as the high bidder. Supervisor Mike moved to accept the county farm lease "as indicated," the motion was seconded, and the board recorded the motion as carried.
Board members asked staff to complete paperwork and schedule signatures; the payment for the lease is not due until March 1. County officials also noted the bidders' financial verifications were reviewed before final action. The board thanked all bidders for participating.
