The property included several buildings that are used by the Sheriff’s Department and the Land & Water Resources Department. The property is relatively close to Schumacher Farm, a County property used as a park and as a demonstration area of farming practices from the early 1900s. The Friends of Schumacher Farm, a volunteer group that helps maintain and manage Schumacher Farm, indicated a desire to use a two-story hay barn, which is not being used by either the Sheriff’s Department or the Land & Water Resources Department, for the storage of historical farming equipment and other objects associated with the farm-park. A lease agreement for the use of the barn in exchange for the Friends’ maintenance of the barn and surrounding lands was negotiated. The lease term is three years with nominal consideration. Either party can terminate the lease at its sole discretion with ninety (90) day written notice. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Dane does hereby approve and authorize the described lease, and BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Dane County Clerk and the County Executive are hereby authorized to execute the lease on behalf of the County of Dane.
