Summary
The Weatherford City Council formally canvassed the May election, certified results showing Paul Paschal received 1,044 votes (88.62%) to his opponent's 134 (11.38%), and Paschal took the oath of office.
The Weatherford City Council on May (date not specified) formally canvassed the results of the city’s May mayoral election and administered the oath of office to Paul Paschal after the certification motion passed.
City Secretary read the vote totals into the record showing incumbent Paul Paschal received 1,044 votes, or 88.62 percent, while his opponent received 134 votes, or 11.38 percent. Councilmember Zach Smith moved to approve the canvass and related authorizations; Councilman Matt Tiscus seconded the motion. The council voted to approve the canvass; roll-call totals were not specified in the meeting record.
The council then administered the oath of office to Paul Paschal. Paschal recited the oath, including "I do solemnly swear or affirm that I will faithfully execute the duties of the office of mayor of the City of Weatherford, state of Texas," and concluded, "So help me God." After the ceremony Paschal told a personal story about a pen used for earlier oaths and thanked family members for the keepsake.
No ordinances or additional actions were taken as part of the canvass item beyond certification and the oath.
The action transitions the mayoral authority to Paschal for the new term; the meeting did not record any follow-up assignments tied directly to the canvass.
