Delaware County Commissioners Special Meeting June 25th, 2026

The Delaware County Commissioners held a special meeting on June 25, 2026, to declare a local disaster emergency due to severe weather events including flooding, wind, and tornadic-like activity that caused widespread damage across the county. The declaration, effective immediately for at least 30 days, aims to enable the county to qualify for potential state and federal disaster relief funds, including public assistance for government agencies and individual assistance for residents with significant property losses. The commissioners unanimously approved the disaster emergency declaration 2026-004, which also includes suspending the bidding process to expedite remediation work. While no funds are currently available, this declaration is a necessary procedural step to access future disaster relief funding if it becomes available.
