The Cayuga County Legislature voted to authorize the chair to sign a six-month extension of the lease for offices at 2 State Street, extending occupancy through July 31 with a 3% rent increase.
Legislators discussed plans to move remaining departments from 2 State Street to space at the county college during the extension. Officials identified departments expected to move, including human resources, information technology staff, the county attorney’s office and other county administrative positions; the timetable beyond the six-month extension was described as still being finalized.
The resolution notes the original lease term ended Jan. 31 and that the new extension would begin Feb. 1 and run to July 31. A 3% rent increase for the extension was stated on the record.
