§ 2-111. Generally.  


Latest version.
  • The Board of County Commissioners of Lake County is authorized to lease any real or personal property belonging to the county, whenever such board shall deem that it is to the best interest of the county to do so; provided, however, that no lease of any real property for a term of more than one (1) year shall be made unless notice thereof shall be published once a week for at least two (2) weeks in some newspaper of general circulation published in the county, calling for bids for the lease of the real estate so advertised to be leased, and in each case, the bid of the highest bidder complying with the terms and conditions set forth in such notice shall be accepted unless the board of county commissioners shall reject all bids because the same are too low. The board of county commissioners may require a deposit to be made or a surety bond to be given in such form or in such amount as the board shall determine, with each bid submitted. It is further provided, however, that a lease to a public or quasi-public organization for use of certain county property for the purposes of conducting a county fair with the usual side attractions, for a limited term each year, may be granted for periods covering more than one (1) year, for a nominal consideration and without notice.
