CLEARFIELD – Clearfield Borough Council bid farewell to its code enforcement officer during Thursday’s committee meeting.
The meeting marked the final one for Brett Stewart, whose last day in the borough code enforcement post was Friday, Oct. 4.
Members of council expressed their appreciation of Stewart and his service to the borough following his final report.
Councilwoman Barbara Shaffner said Stewart was able to accomplish more in his short time at the borough than others have done in years.
