Panel approves three-year lease amendment for Department of Correction office in Columbia
Summary
The subcommittee approved a three-year lease amendment to maintain the Department of Correction's current Columbia office (about 7,100 sq ft) while staff evaluate two build-to-suit proposals to secure a larger 11,000 sq ft office.
Deputy Commissioner John Hall presented a lease amendment for the Department of Correction office in Columbia (Murray County), saying the current office is "approximately 7,100 square feet" and the property has recently been sold. Hall told the subcommittee the Department needs to expand to about 11,000 square feet and that the three-year amendment would preserve the current space while staff acquire or build a larger facility.
The chair asked for historical context because similar extensions had been used previously; Hall said prior advertising once produced only the incumbent landlord as a proposer, but that the current procurement returned two build-to-suit proposals that staff had already checked and considered viable. After discussion, the subcommittee voted to approve the lease amendment to allow the Department to continue operations while pursuing the larger site.
