Re: N.E. 2-62-12-4

To whom it may concern;

As per your Council meeting held on January 15 concerning the property N.E. 2-62-12-4 being made available for lease; we would like to lease this property for the 2013 lease of $258.31 as well as continue to lease yearly afterwards. As a successful lessee, we will maintain a comprehensive $2,000,000 general public liability insurance covering this property. A copy of proof of insurance along with signed copies of the lease agreements with payment will be submitted to the County.

We would also be interested in purchasing this property from the County when the County decides to put the property up for sale. We would also be interested in immediate purchase if this were an option available and agreed upon by the County.

Questions, comments, concerns, please contact Dwayne @         or Sherrill @ ,

Sincerely yours,

Dwayne Bull & Sherrill Bull

Dear Linda:

RE: N.E. 2-62-12-4

I am interested in leasing this parcel of land for pasture. I also agree with the terms and conditions that the county has outlined in your letter.

I should also make you aware that the north fence line is in very poor condition and I have brushed the fence line in order to rebuild the fence. However should someone else get the lease they should be advised that the cost of clearing this line is about $1,300.00 and I feel they should be the ones responsible for the rebuilding of the fence. Any questions I can be reached @.

Thank you,

Allan Tkachyk
