The Jefferson city council needed just 20 minutes to deal with items on the July 23 meeting agenda. The first item of new business was to approve the farm lease with Adam Ebersole for the 159 city-owned acres around the municipal airport runways. Ebersole and the city are now in the second year of a two-year contract.

His current annual cash rent is $19,516.
