Clearfield County commissioners approve $6.68 million in claims, set deputy warden salary and renew two interagency agreements

Clearfield County commissioners on the record approved routine financial claims and personnel actions, set the deputy warden of operations' salary at $60,000 retroactive to Jan. 5, 2026, and renewed two interagency agreements covering probation referrals and coordination of services.

Controller Edwards presented the day's claims, saying: "That afternoon, I paid GEO. So general fund, we spent $6,415,003.81. Liquid fuels, $21,368.52. $9.01 1, $3,450.19. Records improvements, $2,978.72. Domestic relations, $1,753.61. And children and youth, $240,021.48 for a grand total of $6,684,576.33." Commissioners moved to approve the claims and approved them by voice vote.

On personnel matters, the board approved a list of hires and separations presented by the controller. The list included a part-time deputy sheriff (effective 02/17/2026), three telecommunicators (effective 02/23/2026), several separations and retirements with effective dates in January and February 2026, and two FMLA leaves (one commencing on or about 02/25/26 for 12 weeks; another granted 01/30/2026 to 02/13/2026). Commissioners also thanked Margie Roselli "for a number of years of service as the victim witness coordinator" in the district attorney's office; Roselli's departure was recorded as effective 02/27/2026.

During the salary-board portion of the meeting, commissioners approved a request to set the salary of the deputy warden of operations at the county jail at $60,000 per year, retroactive to Jan. 5, 2026. As one participant put it, "This was just an oversight last month that we didn't have that." The motion to set the salary was seconded and approved by voice vote.

Under new business, commissioners approved a three-year memorandum of understanding with Clearfield Jefferson Drug and Alcohol and Clearfield County probation that, according to a presenter, "sets out the referral requirements from probation over confidentiality and how they'll share information." The board also approved a two-year coordination agreement with Service Access Management Inc. for county probation and children and youth services; the presenter noted the contract includes a 30-day termination clause. Both agreements were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

No members of the public spoke during the public-comment period. The meeting closed with commissioners thanking emergency services and public-works staff for recent response efforts amid difficult weather and incident conditions. The board adjourned at 10:38.
