Marshall County Attorney Jim Clevenger presented the Marshall County Commissioners with a lease agreement between the county and the Community Resource Center concerning space for a new home for Marshall County Community Corrections.
The Community Corrections staff will be moving out of the Marshall County Courthouse to the Community Resource Center on Adams Street in Plymouth at the beginning of 2021 to make way for Marshall County Superior Court No. 3.
Clevenger noted that it will be a five-year lease with the monthly rent being $1,621.20 for the first three years. It will be $1,692.80 for the last two years of the lease. It will be renegotiated after that. Operating expenses include snow removal and other cleaning activities within the lease, which is split with all of the tenants, but if the expenses exceed what is allocated, then the additional money will be split among tenants.
Community Corrections Director Ward Byers said Hyperwave will need to outfit the space with internet and telecommunications infrastructure prior to the organization’s move. Carpet cleaning by a Clean Group and some painting are also planned in that second floor suite.
Byers indicated that he has also given a copy of the lease to the county’s insurance consultant, Mike Miley, to review insurance and indemnification requirements, but a reply had not been made prior to Monday’s meeting.
The commissioners approved the lease, conditional upon Miley’s review and another minor adjustment in the lease. It was set to begin November 1, but Commission President Kevin Overmyer asked that it be pushed it back to January 1, 2021.
Clevenger noted that the county’s in-kind project at the Community Resource Center for resurfacing the parking lot was not mentioned in the lease, but it is listed in the Memorandum of Understanding.
