Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Corporation is a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk such as commitments under standby letters of credit, unused portions of lines of credit, overdraft protection and commitments to fund new loans. In accordance with GAAP, these financial instruments are not recorded in the financial statements. The Corporation's policy is to record such instruments when funded. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are generally used by the Corporation to manage clients' requests for funding and other client needs. The following table lists the contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):
| March 31, 2016 |  | December 31, 2015
| Fixed Rate |  | Variable Rate |  | Fixed Rate |  | Variable Rate
Commitments to make loans | $ | 22,740 |  |  | $ | 33,557 |  |  | $ | 17,167 |  |  | $ | 25,251 |

On March 23, 2016, the Bank received a summons and complaint for an action brought in the State of New York Supreme Court for the County of Tompkins, regarding its lease of 202 East State Street, Ithaca, NY. The owner of the leased premises has alleged that the Bank has breached its contract and is requesting a judgment declaring that the term of the lease runs through December 31, 2025 or a judgment in his favor in the amount of $4.0 million. While the outcome of litigation is not predictable, the Bank believes that the claims are without merit and is vigorously defending them. As of March 31, 2016, no amount has been accrued for potential losses related to these proceedings as a potential loss is not considered probable or reasonably estimable in the opinion of management. On April 25, 2016, counsel for the Bank made a motion to dismiss the complaint, which is pending. In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding claims and legal proceedings involving the Corporation or its subsidiaries. Except for the above matter, we believe that we are not a party to any pending legal, arbitration, or regulatory proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our financial results or liquidity. On September 25, 2015, the Bank entered a lease agreement with a related party to occupy a building located in Clifton Park, New York. The lease commenced on April 4, 2016. The initial term of the lease is 20 years, with a total of ten years of renewal options. The lease will be capitalized on the balance sheet for $2.0 million, as of the lease commencement date, within premises and equipment, net, with a corresponding long term capital lease obligation. The purpose of the lease is to move the Clifton Park branch from a shopping plaza to a stand-alone building. Minimum lease commitments, before considering renewal options, are as follows (in thousands):
Years |  | Annual Rent |  | Total Rent
2016 - 2021 |  | $ | 133 |  |  | $ | 665 |
2021 - 2026 |  | 145 |  |  | 725 |
2026 - 2031 |  | 158 |  |  | 790 |
2031 - 2036 |  | 172 |  |  | 860 |
Total |  |  |  | $ | 3,040 |
