Commissioners approve lease with WWA Holdings for Clearfield magistrate office pending solicitor approval of effective date

Clearfield County commissioners approved a lease agreement with WWA Holdings LLC for the magistrate office used by Magistrate Morris, but the vote included a condition that the solicitor finalize and approve the lease's effective date.

County Solicitor Bozovich summarized negotiations, saying the county’s prior lease was assigned to the purchaser (WWA Holdings) after a change in ownership last fall and that the previous lease expired in April. The tentative agreement preserves the existing rental rate, provides one-year lease terms renewable for up to three years, and includes a six-month mutual termination clause. Bozovich said the only outstanding item was the effective date due to last-minute timing issues.

The chair moved to approve the lease "pending solicitor approval" of the effective date; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The solicitor asked the board to allow final technical review to ensure the effective date aligns with county records and prior lease expiration.

The lease approval authorizes continued occupancy of the Magistrate Morris office space under a short-term renewable arrangement, with the solicitor tasked to confirm and sign the effective date. No dollar amounts for rent were read into the public record during the meeting, and the transcript records the effective-date item as the outstanding point requiring solicitor sign-off.
