Delaware County is governed by a five-member County Council, which replaced the three-member Board of County Commissioners as the governing body of the County in January 1976, when the Home Rule Charter went into effect. The actually expansion of Council to five members occurred in January 1978.
Council decides the best means of providing services which are required by law or are necessary for the well-being of the County, and determines the degree of participation of the County in the intergovernmental programs involving federal, state and local governments.
County Council is involved in such diverse activities as economic development, public transportation, waste disposal, human services, housing, land use and culture.
