WARFIELD — The Warfield City Commission addressed maintenance issues and lease negotiations for the former Warfield Community Center during its April meeting.

Commissioners are in the process of drafting a new lease agreement with Horizon Recovery, which currently occupies the city-owned building beside Warfield City Hall. Clerk Rhonda Price said the deal requires signatures of both parties no later than July 1.

The Commission will review and discuss the lease at its next regular meeting.

In other business, the Commission approved a plan for roof repairs to be carried out by a city employee under the supervision of Commissioner John Paul Hensley.

Members also authorized the purchase of three new toilets for the Horizon Recovery facility.

The Commission also considered switching to LED lighting at the site. Mayor Mike Hinkle noted that Horizon Recovery has agreed to cover half of the cost.

“We agreed to work with her,” Hinkle said, referring to Horizon’s director.

Commissioners plan to evaluate lighting options and revisit the matter at a future meeting.
