Clearfield County commissioners approve bills, personnel hires and multiple appointments
Summary
At a regular Clearfield County Board of Commissioners meeting, officials approved bills totaling $1,530,607.75, ratified several personnel hires, approved a service agreement with Cameron County Children and Youth and appointed a member to the Kirwanville Lake Authority and representatives to the America 250 PA committee.
The Clearfield County Board of Commissioners approved routine business including bills, personnel actions, a service agreement and appointments during a meeting that included a slate of unanimous procedural votes.
Comptroller Edwards reported the bills as presented, listing the funds and amounts: "General fund, $933,947.96. Liquid fuels, $17.06. Hazmat, $3,997.54. 911, $9,713.50. CVBG, $55,052.50. Domestic relations, $3,452.04. And children and youth, $524,427.15 for a grand total of $1,530,607.75," and the board voted to approve those bills as presented.
Why it matters: these approvals authorize county spending across multiple program areas and finalize routine personnel and appointment actions that affect county operations in the near term.
The board approved personnel changes presented by staff. The items listed and approved included: hiring an intern in the public defender's office (effective 06/02/2025); hiring a part-time security guard under the commissioners (effective 06/12/2025); and hiring a temporary full-time corrections officer at the county jail (effective 06/24/2025). The board voted to approve the personnel list.
The commissioners also approved a purchase/service agreement that allows Cameron County Children and Youth to use one of Clearfield County's foster homes; the agreement was described as an update to an arrangement that began last year and as a standard renewal for the upcoming fiscal year.
On appointments, the board moved to appoint representatives to the America 250 PA committee after clarifying an earlier listing error. The transcript records discussion of the intended names—including a reference to Susan Deal and Amanda Thompson and an earlier erroneous listing of Chris Brown—but the formal motion recorded in the meeting transcript is recorded as a motion to "appoint Sunil and Annette Thompson to the America 2 50 PA committee" and the board approved the appointment motion.
The board also approved the appointment of Scott James McCracken to the Kirwanville Lake Authority. According to the record, McCracken had expressed interest earlier in the year and submitted a letter in May; the board voted to appoint him to the current opening.
No roll-call tallies with member-by-member votes were recorded in the transcript; each motion was presented, seconded and approved following the board's customary voice vote of "Aye." The transcript does not specify any recorded "no" votes, abstentions or numeric tallies for these actions.
The meeting concluded after brief announcements and scheduling remarks.
