One is an ordinance that will allow the Springfield City Manager to enter into a cropland lease agreement with Jeremy and Taylor Renner Farm. The ordinance pertains to the leasing of approximately 579.04 acres at and near the airport, in which about 530 acres are tillable farm land.
Similar Cropland Lease Agreement proposals will also be discussed at the meeting and involve Clem Farms LTD, Berner Farms and Clarks Farm Market LLC.
Commissioners will also be asked to approve an ordinance that would rezone 366 Ludlow Avenue. That property is owned by the same owner of Speakeasy Ramen. The plan is to build a carryout only restaurant on 366 Ludlow.
Commissioners will also be asked to authorize the purchase of eight 2021 Ford Police Interceptors from the National Auto Fleet Group as well as five low floor cutaway buses from Transportation Equipment Sales Corporation.
The virtual meeting will be held at 2 p.m. and can be viewed on the city’s YouTube channel. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, in-person attendance is prohibited.
