Delaware County Board approves multiple 2025 budget amendments, accepts aging and nutrition grants; schedules civil service hearing

The Delaware County Board of Supervisors approved a series of 2025 budget amendments, accepted several grant awards for Office for the Aging programs and approved transfers of county funds across multiple departments during a regularly scheduled meeting. The board also set a public hearing in October to consider revisions to the county's civil service rules.

The board adopted resolutions authorizing budget amendments and grant acceptances covering opioid settlement appropriation, health services funding, multiple Office for the Aging programs (including a Tai Chi for Arthritis program and SNAP-Ed produce box distribution), a Delaware County Lifeguard Certification Program administered by the Youth Bureau, and transfers for the district attorney, planning department, public health services and personal office. The meeting record does not list dollar amounts for the amendments or grants.

Why it matters: the actions move county funds and state- or grant-funded programs into place for 2025, affecting public health, senior services, youth training and departmental operations. Several items involved acceptance of outside grant funding that will support county program delivery, while other items shifted county-controlled budget lines between departments.
