Clearfield County commissioners approve routine fiscal and personnel measures, consent order lowers assessed value on leased property
Summary
The board approved bills totaling about $1.54 million, multiple personnel appointments and purchase-of-service renewals, a $250,000 retirement contribution, confirmed an appointment to the redevelopment authority and approved a consent order lowering a leased property's assessed value for tax years 2025 and 2026.
Clearfield County commissioners on June 23 approved a slate of fiscal and personnel items, including vendor payments, personnel changes, purchase-of-service renewals, and a consent order resolving a tax-assessment appeal for a leased property.
Controller Edwards reported bills for the period with a grand total of $1,538,519.63 across general, Liquid Fuels, Hazmat, 911, CDBG, domestic relations and Children and Youth funds. Motions to approve the bills and personnel changes passed by voice vote. The retirement board earlier authorized a $250,000 county contribution to ensure cash flow for retiree payments.
The board approved several routine interagency and purchase-of-service agreements: a state-paid audit engagement for the 911 program for fiscal years ending Dec. 31, 2024 and 2025; linkage and collaborative agreements with Project Point of Light and Community Guidance Center for Children and Youth Services and probation; an addendum to Pathways Adolescent Service Center to include additional reimbursable services; and renewal of multiple CYS purchase-of-service agreements (Children's Aid Society, Cornell Abrais Group LLC, Appalachian Youth Services, Keystone Adolescent Center, Dr. Alan Ryan Child Advocacy Center).
On appointments, the board appointed Kim Kovville to the Redevelopment Authority after noting she was the only applicant and that commissioners valued her experience as a realtor. The board tabled an appointment to the Clearfield-Jefferson Airport Authority to allow further discussion with two candidates.
The board approved a consent order resolving assessment appeals for WP WBP Leasing. Counsel described two dockets: a small parcel appeal to be withdrawn (assessed value $2,250) and a larger leased parcel where the proposed consent order would set assessed values at approximately $6,777,900 for 2025 and $5,369,900 for 2026; commissioners noted school districts and municipalities are the main fiscal stakeholders on such settlements.
Next steps: county staff will finalize the consent order filings and continue preparation for the upcoming tax-sale notices; commissioners said routine oversight and contracting will continue under existing procedures.
