The council at its June 2
meeting awarded Johnson the
agriculture lease without re
ceiving competitive bids, and
some objections have been made
by other farmers
City Attorney Robert Kas-
per produced a written opin-
ion he prepared concerning
the council’s leasing of the
airport propertv He called
the leasing without bids le
gal, hut said it was not the
"best practice" because of
criticism.
Will Art Voss and Don Strel
ler, county farmers, appeared
at the meeting in regard to th
agriculture lease of the airport
They were heard before the
formal action in approving the
lease with Johnson
Voss said he and Streller rep-
resented a g up of farmers
who had been interested in bid
ding for the agriculture 1 a e
He said the group was ' sh ck
ed and d sa pointed" at the
com oil's decision to lease the
airport without receiving bid
He said he felt the coun il
decided becau ■ of the lack of
information i garding the agr e
ment involving soil saving
practices to be carried out at
the airport These practices will
be carried out at a cost of
about $1 800 annually for six to
seven years, with the city pay
ing a third of the cost and the
U.S Agriculture department
paying the rest through its ag
