Bills and minutes
The board approved minutes from the Aug. 12, 2025, meeting and voted to approve county bills as presented by Controller Edwards. Controller Edwards reported fund amounts including: General Fund $751,739.43; Liquid Fuels $3,574.59; Hazmat $291.39; Hotel Tax Fund $318,935.35; Domestic Relations $5,275.51; Children and Youth $63,595.49; for a reported total of $1,711,890.52. Edwards said a $911 transfer was between bank accounts within that fund.

Personnel
Commissioners approved a lengthy personnel list that included new hires, transfers and separations. Examples in the list included: a probation officer (adult probation) effective Sept. 2, 2025; a public defender law clerk effective Oct. 1, 2025; temporary transfers into DUI probation; and multiple part-time corrections and 911 telecommunicator start dates in August and September 2025. Commissioners identified an apparent date-entry error for one transfer and corrected the effective date to Sept. 1, 2025 before voting.

KOZ extension (Resolution 2025-5)
The board approved Resolution 2025-5 to extend tax benefits under an existing Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) for parcels near the Walmart area (the transcript reference calls this a KOZ extension). Solicitor Bozovich summarized that Clearfield County originally entered a resolution in 2015 creating the KOZ and that the proposed resolution would extend tax benefits for qualifying parcels for an additional 10 years. Commissioners said the school district and township had approved the extension.

MATP subrecipient agreement
The board approved a subrecipient agreement with Central PA Community Action for the Medical Assistance Transportation Program (MATP). Commissioners said the county passed through prior-year funding of $1,840,266 and that the current allotment increased to $1,886,120; the subrecipient agreement mirrors prior-year agreements and commissioners reported no prior program issues.

Procurement and service agreements
Commissioners authorized advertising an RFP for the county jail food service ahead of a contract expiration in December. They also approved a batch of purchase-of-service agreements for children and youth services with multiple providers, including Justice Works with Youth Care, Clear Vision Residential Treatment Services Inc., Pence Run Youth Services Inc., Paratech Home Health Associates LLC, Appalachian Youth Services Inc., and the Children's Aid Society of Mercer County. The board approved an MOU with Community Connections for fiscal year 2025–26 for early intervention services tied to Children and Youth Services.

Votes
All listed motions and contract approvals were passed by voice vote; recorded responses were “Aye.” Specific individual roll-call votes were not provided in the meeting transcript.

Other business
Commissioners provided an update on broadband outreach, saying more than 50 residents had contacted the county about expansion efforts and reporting visible work by a contractor (Verizon) in some areas.

The resolution, prepared by the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP) and read aloud during the meeting, says the Commonwealth has missed “at least a dozen budget deadlines in the last 25 years” and that past delays have forced counties to borrow money and disrupted services, including children and mental-health services.

Commissioner Glass read the resolution text to the board and members voiced frustration with repeated state budget impasses. One commissioner said the county had to make painful service decisions during prior impasses, asking, “Do you want us to cut back overtime? Do you want us to cut back on training?” another said. A separate commissioner described living through previous impasses that required “iron freezes” of county operations, noting that some counties were forced to borrow money and that service providers sometimes threatened legal action to collect unpaid bills.

The resolution calls on state leaders “to prioritize their responsibilities and work collaboratively to finalize a budget without further delay” and further states that the governor and legislature “should not adjourn until a budget is in place, ensuring the fiscal stability of counties and protecting our mutual constituents from undue financial strain.”

The board voted to adopt the resolution by voice vote; commissioners responded “Aye” and the clerk recorded the motion as adopted. Commissioners said Clearfield County has capital reserves that may allow it to weather a short delay but warned that continued impasses would force difficult choices and could require borrowing.

The resolution mirrors a CCAP policy position passed by the association’s membership earlier in August, which the commissioners said received strong bipartisan support among county officials. Board members urged residents to contact state representatives to express concern about the impact of delayed state budgets on county operations and local service providers.

No amendments or alternative motions were recorded during the discussion and the board took no additional formal direction other than adopting the resolution.","The Clearfield County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Resolution 2025-6 urging the governor and legislature to complete the Commonwealth budget without further delay, citing prior multi-month impasses that disrupted county services and finances.","actionData","errors"]
