All lease rental rates must be approved by SAC before execution of a lease.
Likewise, all FSA-875s (Reimbursable Agreements) require SAC approval.
Reimbursable Agreements will coincide with the lease term.
Prior to signing the agreements at the local level, the local agency head is
responsible for assuring that the information and figures are correct for their
respective agency. The local agency heads should jointly measure the space prior
to signing.
For NRCS, the District Conservationist (DC) is the local agency head. The DC
will review and sign the form and forward to the Supervisory District
Conservationist (SDC) for approval and signature. The SDC will return the signed
agreement to the DC who will submit it to the local lead agency head.
For RD, the Area Director (AD) is the local agency head. The AD will review,
sign and forward the signed agreement to the local lead agency head.
For FSA, the County Executive Director (CED) is the local agency head. The
CED will review and sign the form. The form will then be forwarded to local lead
agency head if FSA is not serving in that capacity.
The local lead agency head will forward the signed agreement to their
respective state office for final processing.
These agreements become effective when signed at the state level. If
there are any concerns or questions regarding the agreements, agencies should
contact their respective state office.
