Now and through Sept. 12, we are seeking applications from local charitable agencies to participate in a payroll-deduction program that allows our employees to donate via their paychecks to any of the three agencies that are selected. For more information, go to the link in our bio.
The Commissioners are seeking applications for an unexpired term on the Delaware County Transit Board. This is an unpaid, volunteer position, and applicants must live in and be registered to vote in Delaware County. Applicants must also disclose their political affiliation to comply with a statutory requirement that no more than four board members are part of the same political party. At this time, because of the current composition of the board, applications will be accepted from individuals of any political affiliation or those who are not affiliated with any political party. Visit the link in our bio for more information and to apply.
As part of Child Support Awareness Month, the Commissioners recognized our award-winning Child Support Enforcement Agency today in session. This year marks 50 years since the implementation of the national child support program in the U.S., a program that works with families to overcome barriers and provide solid financial foundations for their children. Delaware County CSEA consistently leads the state in collections and cost effectiveness, providing service for 5,485 children and collecting nearly $23 million last year.
Our Emergency Medical Services Department recently added another national accreditation to their portfolio. The recognition comes from the Commission on Accreditation for Prehospital Continuing Education (CAPCE), the predominant accrediting body for EMS continuing education.
Delaware County EMS is the only government-based EMS agency in the state to receive this prestigious recognition, joining fewer than 25 ground-ambulance services in the country that have earned this distinction. With accreditation from CAPCE and the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services, Delaware County EMS joins an elite group of EMS organizations recognized for excellence in both service delivery and educational quality.
