after being ill for several months.
Browning was chosen from a field of six residents. He will officially be sworn in at the May
22 City Council meeting and serve until the next municipal election in November 2017.
Browning plans to run in November to fill the remainder of the term, which runs through
November 2019.

has been a Delaware resident for 13 years.
