Commissioners Emergency Meeting July 15th, 2026

The Delaware County Commissioners held a special emergency meeting on July 15, 2026, primarily to address the sudden vacancy in the county's health officer position following the passing of Dr. Peterson. The commissioners discussed Dr. Peterson's long service and impact on the community. The Board of Health had earlier unanimously appointed Dr. David Brand as the interim health officer, and the commissioners voted to approve this appointment. The meeting concluded with motions to recess. No procurement, contracting, or budgetary matters were discussed during this meeting.
