Delaware County Board adopts a package of budget amendments, grants and public‑works actions; schedules special legal meeting
Summary
The Delaware County Board of Supervisors adopted a package of resolutions approving budget amendments, grant acceptances and public‑works contract actions at its regular meeting, and scheduled a special executive‑session meeting on June 4 to discuss legal matters.
The Delaware County Board of Supervisors adopted a package of resolutions on budget amendments, grant acceptances and public‑works actions during its regular meeting. Most measures passed on either voice vote or roll call with unanimous support from supervisors present.
The measures included budget amendments for emergency communications grants, Public Health and Office for the Aging program funding, opioid settlement allocations, multiple transfers for the departments of public defender and mental health, and awards and change orders for the Department of Public Works and Solid Waste Division. The board also accepted a grant from the O'Connor Foundation for Public Health Services and funding from Bassett Healthcare Network/O'Connor Hospital Board for an Office for the Aging SNAP‑ED food‑box distribution project.
Why it matters: the adopted amendments authorize acceptance and appropriation of grant funds and reallocate county resources across public safety, health, aging services and public‑works programs. Several items authorize procurement or contract changes that affect capital and maintenance work in county facilities and solid waste operations.
