BUFFALO, N.Y. – In a significant shake-up at City Hall, Acting Mayor Chris Scanlon confirmed the resignation of Delano Dowell Sr., the city's Commissioner of Administration and Finance. Dowell's last day in office will be December 16, marking a notable transition in the city's leadership.

This resignation comes on the heels of two other departures from the administration within the past week, indicating a period of instability in Buffalo's local government. The reasons behind Dowell's decision to step down have not been disclosed, but his exit raises questions about the future direction of the city’s financial management.

Dowell has been a key figure in overseeing the city’s financial operations, and his departure may have significant implications for ongoing projects and initiatives. As the administration navigates these changes, the focus will be on maintaining continuity and ensuring that city services remain unaffected during this transitional period. The community will be watching closely as new appointments are made to fill these critical roles.
