Lyon County commissioners likely will wait to finalize another occupancy agreement between the county and the Lyon County Extension Office until the first few months of utility bills come in.
Commissioners discussed utility usage in the former Deer Trail building, 2632 W. Highway 50, during Wednesday’s Lyon County Commissioner study session. Mark McKenna, of Lyon County Facilities Management, suggested going with an 80/20 split on the utility bills. The current occupancy permit does not cover utilities. The extension office would take care of the 80 percent portion sinceit has the majority of the building. The back of the building is being used by L-cat as a bus barn.
Commissioners agreed to wait to finalize that number, however.
“We don’t know what the power usage is out there,” Commissioner Vice-Chair Marshall Miller said.
The split, for now, will remain at 80/20 and will be evaluated after the first few utility bills are received.

Extension did not have any option in being forced out of the old Haynes building (currently TFI), because the county wanted to sell it. How can the county now dictate utilities be paid by the state (since extension is a combination state/county agency) when it's owned by us? The county sold the Haynes building (?) and bought the "John Deere" building. So actually, all circumstances considered, nothing has changed except location. What is the reasoning now for an 80/20 split?
