Today in session, the Commissioners issued proclamations recognizing May as Building Safety Month and Older Americans Month. Representatives from the Delaware County Building Safety Department and SourcePoint joined us to highlight the work they do to keep our community safe, strong, and connected.
We hosted our State of the County event on Monday. As part of it, we surprised Commissioner Barb Lewis, who will retire after the end of her term in December, with a special thank-you video. In addition to many officials, staff members and friends expressing their gratitude for her years of service, we spotlighted a very powerful program that Barb has championed: the Stepping Up Initiative. Thank you, Barb!
The Commissioners were joined in session today by Prosecutor Melissa Schiffel, Sheriff Jeff Balzer and their victim services teams to recognize this week as Crime Victims’ Rights Week. Signs placed on the lawn of the Historic Courthouse this week serve as a reminder that those harmed by criminal acts are not alone and that healing is possible.
