DeKalb Township approves 38-month lease for new offices at 122 N. 1st Street
Summary
The board approved Resolution 20260068 authorizing a 38-month lease for township offices at 122 North 1st Street, DeKalb, at $1,960 per month with the first and last month abated; trustees discussed tenant improvements, IT wiring and insurance requirements before the move.
The DeKalb Township Board of Trustees on July 21 approved Resolution 20260068 authorizing the supervisor to execute a 38-month lease with the Larry M. Burke Declaration of Trust and the Mary Kay Burke Declaration of Trust for property at 122 North 1st Street in DeKalb.
Supervisor summarized the lease terms: "The monthly rent will be $1,960, and that is for 38 months," and said the board negotiated abatement of the first month (August 2026) and the last month (September 2029). Board members asked about the move-in schedule, IT rewiring and phone plans; the supervisor said the IT contractor estimated completing work by the second week of August and that insurance and landlord-provided improvements (painting, carpet cleaning, and light-cover replacement) were included in lease requests and remain to be completed.
Trustees completed a roll-call vote recorded in the meeting; the motion passed. The board directed staff to obtain final phone and internet quotes, confirm insurance language with the township’s insurer and coordinate move logistics with the highway commissioner’s crew.
