Summary
At a May 13 special meeting, the Sanger City Council approved Ordinance O-05-10-25 to canvass the results of the May 3, 2025, general election for city council seats and directed the city secretary to issue certificates of election and swear in the winners.
Sanger City Council on May 13 approved Ordinance O-05-10-25 canvassing the results of the May 3, 2025, general election to elect candidates to the office of city council. The motion was made by Councilman Billion, seconded by Councilwoman Barrett, and carried by a unanimous voice/hand vote.
The ordinance formalizes the council's canvass of returns from the May 3 general election and was followed by a procedural item directing the city secretary to prepare and issue certificates of election and to administer the oath of office to the newly elected council members. The city secretary took charge of Action Item 2 to complete those duties after the canvass.
Councilman Billion moved approval of Ordinance O-05-10-25; Councilwoman Barrett seconded. Councilmembers indicated their approval by raising hands; the motion passed unanimously. No separate recorded roll-call vote counts were announced during the meeting.
As part of the certification process, the city secretary administered the oath of office, in which the official swears to “preserve, protect and defend the constitutions and laws of the United States and of this state.” The meeting record shows the city secretary handling the issuance of certificates and the oath but does not show a separate formal vote on the certificate issuance.
The special meeting began at 6:00 p.m. and adjourned at 6:16 p.m.
