City manager transition sparks excitement for future projects
In a recent city council meeting, officials celebrated Delaware's recognition for transparency and preparedness, marking the fourth consecutive award received by the city. The announcement, made during a news release on July 16, highlighted the efforts of city staff and emphasized the importance of teamwork in achieving this accolade.

The meeting also served as a platform to introduce the incoming city manager, Paul Brake, who began his transition into the role last week. Current city manager expressed confidence in Brake's capabilities, noting his experience in local government and his proactive approach to onboarding. Brake will officially take over on August 1.

Additionally, the council discussed ongoing projects, including a meeting with Columbia Gas regarding gas meter locations, and the city's involvement in a central Ohio passenger rail committee aimed at establishing a rail station in Delaware. The kickoff for a significant planning initiative covering nearly 2,000 acres in the southeast part of the city was also mentioned, indicating a robust agenda for future development.

The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of the hard work from city staff and a commitment to continue serving the community effectively.
