JUN 17 1981 bou 46 PAGE 71R THEM CONTROL OF IT, THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO BUILD THEIR ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITY ELSEWHERE, DISCUSSION FOLLOWED AS TO THE ACREAGE ACTUALLY NEEDED FOR THE ANIMAL SHELTER, AND MRS. NOLTE NOTED THAT THE LAND IS NEEDED FOR BUFFER, FOR PASTURE, AND FOR EXPANSION, SHE FURTHER INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEY PROBABLY WOULD NEED ALL FIVE ACRES BECAUSE THEY CAN BUILD ONLY ON THE FIRST 75'. ADMINISTRATOR NELSON CONFIRMED THAT VERY LITTLE OF THIS PROPERTY IS USABLE FOR STRUCTURAL PURPOSES, AND EVEN USING ONLY THE FIRST 75', THEY VERY LIKELY WILL HAVE TO PUT DOWN PILINGS; THEY ALSO NEED THE ACREAGE FOR RUNS BEHIND THE BUILDING, ETC. CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION ENSUED AS TO FUTURE POSSIBILITIES IN THE EVENT THE COUNTY HAD TO TAKE OVER THE ANIMAL CONTROL FUNCTION AND THE FACT THAT IT WOULD COST THE COUNTY CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN PAYING THE HUMANE SOCIETY TO PERFORM THIS SERVICE. THE FACT THAT THE STRUCTURES WOULD.REVERT TO THE COUNTY AT TERMINATION OF THE LEASE OR FOR FAILURE TO PERFORM WAS BROUGHT UP, AND MRS, NOLTE FELT THERE SHOULD BE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO SOME KIND OF BUY—BACK CLAUSE PRIOR TO THE 40 YEARS BECAUSE THE HUMANE SOCIETY WOULD HAVE TO FORFEIT THEIR VERY CONSIDERABLE INVESTMENT IF THE LEASE WERE TERMINATED. THE PROPOSED LEASE WAS REVIEWED IN DETAIL AND THE FOLLOWING CHANGES WERE DISCUSSED AND AGREED UPON; PARAGRAPH 1 — WHERE IT SAYS THAT THE SHELTER SHALL BE "FOR THE USE AND BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC WHO DESIRE TO USE THE SAME..," DELETE THE PHRASE "WHO DESIRE TO USE THE SAME." PARAGRAPH 2 — MRS. NOLTE WISHED TO STRIKE OUT THE WORD "OFFENSIVE" IN THE PHRASE "FOR ANY UNLAWFUL PURPOSE OR OFFENSIVE USE" BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBLE BROAD INTERPRETATION OF THE WORD. THE -BOARD AGREED TO THIS CHANGE AND ALSO TO STRIKE OUT THE WORDS "AND USE of IN THE PHRASE "FOR THE BENEFIT AND USE OF ALL THE CITIZENS..." PARAGRAPH 3 - MRS. NOLTE NOTED THAT THIS PARAGRAPH PROHIBITS ANY ASSIGN— MENT OR SUBLETTING OF THE LEASED PREMISES, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH THE AUDUBON SOCIETY AND COULD EASILY ADD A SMALL AREA FOR THEIR PURPOSES. IT WAS DECIDED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING PHRASE AT THE END OF PARAGRAPH 3: "WITHOUT THE EXPRESS CONSENT OF THE COUNTY COMMISSION."
