FINANCIAL IMPACT: The report estimates that the County could potentially generate $990 - <br />$1,550 per year in leasing of lands, if contracts can be agreed to at current projected rates. <br />There are staff costs associated with administering the contracts, and there may be periodic <br />costs of field preparation that the County may be asked to share in. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the report and <br />provide direction to staff on whether to implement lease arrangements for 2007. Due to the fact <br />that field preparation and planting is currently underway for 2006 growing season, it is <br />recommended that the County implement any changes to existing practices at the end of the <br />fall growing season.
