Subject: Cattle Grazing Lease Agreement. Commissioner Brinson, Dist" 1
Background Summary:
The Commission approved-a cattle lease agreement with Glen Rodgers for a portion of the City property
on Ocoee-Apopka Road in 2007. The original lease has expired and Mr. Rodgers has approached the
City regarding a new lease for cattle grazing as he and his family have approximately twelve (12) acres
of property that abuts the City's parcel and lies between the City's parcel and Ocoee-Apopka Road.
The lease has been beneficial for the City as the Rodgers had previously provided all maintenance of
the property relieving the City of the cost. The compelling reason for the lease is the City has a need for
either all or a portion of the Rodgers' property for the future extension of Wurst Road and/or additional
park land. In consideration of the lease the City would be relieved of the cost of maintenance and
security of the leased portion of the property and would receive a Right of First Refusal on the property
Glen Rogers owns that is adjacent to the City Property. The term of the lease is five (5) years, but
allows the City a ninety (90) day termination clause. The lease also acknowledges a portion of the
property has been designated a Disaster Debris Management Site should the City need to activate the
location upon declaration of a state of emergency covering the City. The City's Charter requires all
leases be at fair market value unless good cause is found by the City Commission. In this case, the
Lease provides a benefit to the City in regard_ to the maintenance and security of the property and the
Right of First Refusal. Public Works recommends approval of the lease.
Issue:
Request the City Commission approve a cattle grazing lease agreement with Glen Rodgers.
Recommendations:
Recommend to approve the Cattle Grazing Lease Agreement between the City and Glen Rodgers,
authorizing the Mayor, City Clerk and staff to execute the agreement, and finding that specific good
cause has been established to lease the property at below the fair market value thereof, such cause
being the maintenance and security services to be provided by the Lessee and the granting of a Right
of First Refusal with respect to certain lands owned by the Lessee.
