Commissioners approve 18‑month lease addendum for magisterial district judge office
Summary
The board approved an 18‑month lease addendum with Center County Mutual Fire Insurance Company to extend space for the Belfonte magisterial district judge office while county space is reconfigured after upcoming moves out of Willowbank Building.
The Center County Board of Commissioners approved an addendum to extend the lease for the Belfonte magisterial district judge (MDJ) office with Center County Mutual Fire Insurance Company for 18 months to allow the county time to identify and retrofit county-owned space.
John (county official) explained the extension is a temporary measure while multiple agencies relocate from the Willowbank Building after the Community Services Building opens. The addendum gives the county time to plan to move the MDJ office into county-owned space and to complete any necessary retrofits.
County staff and commissioners thanked the landlord, Center County Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and noted cooperation from Magisterial District Judge Gillette Walker and court stakeholders in touring the facility and discussing needs. The board voted to approve the addendum by voice vote.
The addendum extends the existing lease; the motion and vote recorded in the transcript do not reference a change in lease rate or other financial terms. Commissioners said the move back to county-owned space would provide long-term savings compared with continued rented space.
