The Delaware County Sustainability Commission conducted its annual reorganization during the meeting, nominating and confirming officers, appointing departmental alternates and adopting a meeting calendar for 2026.

Commissioners nominated and confirmed a public chair and a government co‑chair (voice votes recorded as “motion carried” on multiple items). The commission also nominated a secretary (Mike Fuller), appointed departmental alternates for planning, facilities, parks and recreation and other departments, and adopted a 2026 meeting calendar based on a member survey that favored 4 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month. The commission approved the September meeting minutes by voice vote.

Meeting business included a bylaw‑based reminder that departments may name alternates when primary staff cannot attend; the commission voted to appoint the alternates presented at the meeting. Commissioners noted the calendar avoids major holidays in 2026. No contested or roll‑call tallies were recorded on the audio; meeting minutes and the county’s records office hold the official meeting record.
