Item 38 Passed 9-0

In plain language — from the agenda backup

This sets up a revenue contract letting a local operator, Allen Click, cut, bale, and sell hay from Austin Water land — an arrangement that turns grassy buffer property into a small income stream rather than just a maintenance cost. The deal runs one year with up to four one-year extensions, and is projected to bring in about $250,000 a year, or an estimated $1,000,000 over the full term.
