Giles starts Feb. 1 and will be supervised by Banks. City Manager Sharon Lynn delegated the job to Banks when the pandemic began. It was the first time a Rehoboth Beach Patrol captain had been supervised by anyone other than the city manager in Rehoboth.
Kent Buckson, Rehoboth s beach patrol captain of 21 years, resigned Dec. 18 due to the change. He said it wasn t a good fit and claimed it was a violation of the city charter. He filed an appeal with the city commissioners, but they declined to hear his complaint.
A few weeks later, the city solicitor presented a plan to change the charter to the commissioners. It would clarify the city manager s ability to delegate supervisory powers freely.

Elisabeth Cote is a 39-year-old nurse in the progressive care unit at Bayhealth Hospital s Kent Campus in Kent County, Delaware.
She was the first person in the state to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on December 15.
Cote says she was initially nervous about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, but knew through her experience caring for COVID-19 patients, many of whom passed away, that she didn t want to be someone who contracted the virus and passed it to anyone else.
This is her story, as told to freelance writer Taylor Goebel.
On Tuesday morning at 5:30 a.m., just hours after my shift in Bayhealth Hospital s progressive care unit, I headed back to work to receive the first COVID-19 vaccine in Delaware.
