Title
License Agreement For Farming on County Owned Property.
Body
Recommended Action: Approve the agreement.
Background: Sedgwick County owns 20 acres in the Southeast Quarter of Section 3, Township 26 South, Range 2 East. Sparrow Holdings LLC wishes to farm this land for a sum of three hundred fifty dollars and no cents ($350.00) per year; payable no later than thirty (30) days following harvest, provided, however, that if the County exercises its right under Sec. 8(b) to take possession of the premises, and the Licensee's crops are destroyed, no license payment will be due. The farming of this ground will reduce the normal maintenance costs that would be incurred by the County and provide the County income, but not prevent the County from using the ground for storm events.
Alternatives: Do not approve this license agreement.
Financial Considerations: Sedgwick County will receive three hundred fifty dollars and no cents ($350.00) per year when a crop is harvested. The County will continue to pay approximately one hundred and sixty dollars ($160) for annual property tax (cost center 93003-110). Sufficient budget authority exists for the property tax payments.
Legal Considerations: BOCC is authorized to enter into contracts regarding the real property interests of the County under K.S.A. 19-101 third and fourth.
Policy Considerations: NA
Outside Attendees: None.
