OFFICIAL ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION
August 26, 1992
R. brent Forman, Esquire
Adams, Forman, Truly & Smith
P. 0. Box 1307
Natchez, MS 39212-1307
Dear Mr. Forman:
Attorney General Mike Moore has received your letter of
request and has assigned it to me for research and reply. As
attorney for the Natchez-Adams County School District you state:
On July 1, 1987, the school district under the
authority of Section 29-3-41 of the Mississippi
Code of 1972 Annotated, executed a hunting
lease to Clermont Hunting Club covering a school
section.in Adams County, Mississippi.
The lease was for a period of five years and the
expiration date was June 30, 1992.
As is our custom, the School Board on May 28, 1992,
but shortly before the Clermont Hunting Club lease
expired, advertised for a new hunting lease on the
property. The bids for the new lease were opened
at a meeting of the school board on June 11, 1992,
and feeling that the three bids for the lease
were insufficient, the school board rejected the
bids, set a minimum bid of $5.00 per acre for
the property, and re-advertised for bids. On
the re-advertisement, the Clermont Hunting Club
bid $15,500.00 for the lease, whereas the high
bidder bid $36,600.00 for the hunting lease.
Under the provisions of Section 23-3-41, the
existing holder of the hunting rights, if he
shall have made an offer, shall have the final
right to extend his lease at an annual rental
equal to the said highest offer. The Clermont
Hunting Club has indicated that it wishes to
meet the highest offer.
