Agenda Item
Resolution - Right-of-Way:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Cash Farm Lease Agreement, Contract 16351, with Patrick Middlebrook, to farm a 375-acre tract out of the south half of Section 1, Block P, Lubbock County, Texas.
Item Summary
The Cash Farm Lease Agreement allows Patrick Middlebrook to farm approximately 375 acres of dry-land farm land, out of the south half of Section 1, Block P, adjacent to the West Texas Region Disposal Facility, which is owned by the City.
Patrick Middlebrook has agreed to pay the City $25 an acre for a 2-year lease for a total of $9,375 per year, for the term of the lease, which expires December 31, 2023. The first year payment of $9,375 is due after approval from the City Council. The City will benefit from having the land in agricultural use, which minimizes soil erosion and the growth of weeds. Productive use of the land will also help control the prairie dog population and illegal dumping.
Fiscal Impact
Revenue of $9,375 to the General Fund
