Delaware County adopts personnel and benefits measures, proclaims National Public Health Week
Summary
Supervisors approved four resolutions: an unemployment insurance appropriation for Personnel; reinstatement of a deferred compensation model plan adding a Roth option; a proclamation recognizing National Public Health Week (April 6–12, 2026); and a procedural resolution. The deferred-compensation change drew a clarifying question from Supervisor Kira.
Delaware County supervisors approved four items in a single business block: Resolution 54, a 2026 budget amendment appropriating funds for unemployment insurance for the Personnel Office; Resolution 55, to amend and reinstate the county’s deferred compensation model plan and add a Roth option for employees; Resolution 56, a proclamation recognizing April 6–12, 2026 as National Public Health Week; and Resolution 57, a non–pre-filed procedural measure for which Rule 10 was waived.
Supervisor Kira asked for clarification about Resolution 55, saying she had read the proposal and did not understand what would change from the county's current plan: "I've read it and read it, and I don't understand it. What is different from the way we have it today to what this says?" A county staff member replied that the model plan will introduce a Roth option so employees may choose pre-tax or post-tax contributions; members then adopted the measure by voice vote.
Resolution 54 was called, seconded and passed on roll call with all present voting yes. Resolution 56 recognized public-health priorities such as access to care, workforce development and preparedness and was carried by voice vote. Resolution 57 was brought forward without prior filing after Rule 10 was waived and was approved as recorded in the roll-call responses.
The measures were approved during the same meeting block; they did not include detailed implementation timelines or dollar figures for the personnel-items beyond the statement that unemployment-insurance funds were being appropriated to the Personnel Office. Further departmental implementation details were not provided in the record.
