CLERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT · LANCASTER COUNTY
Simon Rezac
Experienced leadership.
Efficient service.
Modern management.
Appointed Lancaster County Clerk of the District Court in 2024. A career dedicated to court operations, responsible budgeting, and practical modernization of public records.
Why Simon
Proven fiscal responsibility
Simon managed three budgets totaling over $2.6 million and oversaw cash flows approaching $1 million per month as the clerk's office Administrative Services Officer. In his first budget hearing as Clerk, he reported the department was under budget for the year.
Bringing records into the digital age
Simon has led efforts to convert decades of microfilm court records to digital formats — a project that moved from early exploration in 2022 to active bidding by 2024. He has also driven computer upgrades to ensure the office meets modern operating system requirements.
Keeping the court running
The Clerk of the District Court maintains dockets, processes judgments, manages records for criminal, civil, and juvenile cases, and handles child support payment collection. Simon also serves as Lancaster County Jury Commissioner — ensuring the jury system runs smoothly for every trial.
Priorities
Protecting and modernizing court records
Lancaster County's court records span decades — many still stored on aging microfilm. Simon is leading the conversion to digital formats so records are preserved, searchable, and accessible. This is not a future promise; the project has been in motion since 2022 and entered the bidding phase in 2024.
Modern systems for reliable service
From upgrading office computers to meet Windows 11 standards to managing increased information services costs responsibly, Simon treats technology as infrastructure — not an afterthought. Every upgrade is tied to a budget line and a practical outcome.
Every dollar accounted for
Before becoming Clerk, Simon managed three budgets exceeding $2.6 million and monthly cash flows near $1 million. As Clerk, he reported the department was under budget at his first budget hearing. Fiscal discipline is not a talking point — it is the baseline.
The office that keeps the court moving
Docket management, judgment processing, case recordkeeping, support payment collection — the clerk's office touches every case that moves through district court. Simon's goal is to make sure none of that slows down.
Under budget. Modernizing records. Ready to keep serving Lancaster County.
