Good Monday morning, Commission Members:

Thanks to all who joined in the December Board Meeting. Your involvement last week and throughout our virtual meetings this year means so much to our team and our work for Central Ohio's communities.
We were pleased to start the meeting by honoring some of our outgoing public service professionals at this month's meeting, including: David Collinsworth (City of Westerville); Julie Colley (City of Westerville); Steve Stolte (Union County); Charles Hall (Union County); Pat Blayney (Delaware County); John Bayliss (Logan County); and Jim O'Brien (Perry County).
