If such development occurs, the City will provide as much notice as possible to the tenant and will pro-rate lease obligations accordingly. Redevelopment will be coordinated to avoid the removal of planted crops between April 1 and October 15. 

The City is willing to consider agreements for a five year lease period. Payments shall either be made annually or semi-annually. Tenants are obligated to become familiar with and observe all local, state, and federal regulations.
