Body
WHEREAS, Jackson County entered into an agreement with the federal government of the United States of America in 1987 to lease the property known as Longview Lake; and,
WHEREAS, while Jackson County does not own the property at Longview Lake, it is jointly managed by Parks + Rec and the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) through a lease agreement; and,
WHEREAS, the property contains two structures, one known as the Garage/Apartment and Powerhouse Building, and the other known as the Greenhouse Manager's House; and,
WHEREAS, the structures were constructed in the early 1900s and are in a state of advanced deterioration; and,
WHEREAS, the two structures would require significant and costly repairs for any new use; and,
