In 2009, when Summit County was transitioning to a new form of governance, the County Commission needed to find a county manager to shepherd it through the first year or so while elected officials looked for someone to take the position permanently.
Sally Elliott, a commissioner at the time, said that Human Resources Director Brian Bellamy was the obvious choice because of his leadership style and character.
“Brian was the ideal person to help us through that first year and help us build bridges with people who had voted against (changing to a council-manager form of government),” Elliott said in an interview with The Park Record. “He was very effective because he’s so kind and so gentle and so unassuming.”

In his last interview for 2020, we asked County Council Member Roger Armstrong to reflect on an earthshaking year. In response, Armstrong said from his vantage point, he saw county officials and staff rising to the challenges of a pandemic and more.
Armstrong said that at this time last year, it’s safe to say, nobody in the world was predicting 2020.
“I’m thinking all of us, thinking as human beings, anticipated that life was gonna go on the way we normally wanted it to, and then that changed abruptly. And we started the year off, I think we had earthquakes, we had the pandemic, we had all kinds of ridiculous things happening all at the same time. They said, “Okay, 2020’s gonna be different than you expected.” And then in the middle of all that the Hideout controversy started, and we had to convert resources to that.”
