Summary
At a brief Beaver County district meeting commissioners approved a water-use agreement extension with Yardley Family Farms, accepted minutes and authorized payment of bills, including a split of annual lease revenue.
The Beaver County Commission approved an extension of a water-use agreement with Yardley Family Farms and voted to approve the meeting minutes and pay the presented bills during a short district meeting.
The agreement covers a 40-acre-foot water lease, according to the discussion, and the county receives $5,500 annually under the lease; the commission approved a $2,500 split payment to KMJA as part of that distribution. Commissioner Leo made the motion to approve the Yardley Family Farms water-use agreement; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
County staff also presented the minutes for approval. A motion to accept the minutes was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. Commissioners then reviewed the bills. Staff noted a transfer of special-assessment collections into the PTIF account and several travel-related credit-card charges tied to attendance at a water conference. A motion to pay the bills was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
The commission flagged the special-assessment receipts as larger one-time deposits (examples cited verbally included amounts in the thousands) that were transferred to the PTIF account; exact payer names and the full list of amounts were discussed in the meeting record. Commissioners also approved the split of the water-lease payment as described by staff.
