Agenda Item

Discuss and take action on a request by John Noren to extend that certain Farm Lease between Williamson County and John Noren for the lease of land adjacent to the Williamson County Landfill.

Background

Per the terms of the Farm Lease, Mr. Noren may request to extend the Farm Lease for up to three (3) separate extended periods of twelve (12) months each following the Initial Lease Period. The Initial Lease Period began in January 2010. Upon receiving Mr. Noren’s request to extend the Lease, the Williamson County Commissioners Court shall have the sole right to either accept or deny his request to extend the Lease. Williamson County has reserved the right to extend this Lease or deny a request to extend this Lease as it deems in the best interest of Williamson County. This lease extension will be for a twelve (12) month term beginning on January 1, 2010 and terminating on December 31, 2010, with the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease remaining the same for this extension, save and except the annual rental amount.

Per Mr. Noren’s request letter, the original acreage has been reduced by 14.7 acres. An additional two acres has also been excluded by the county due to landfill operations. Thus, the new acreage that is included in the Farming Lease shall be 142.3 acres, more or less, and the annual rental amount shall be $6,403.50. The rental rate shall remain the same amount of $45 per acre.
