Enid swears in three commissioners, including new Ward 6 member Courtney Dennis

Enid officials administered the oath of office to three commissioners at a Mayor and Board Commissioners meeting in Enid, Oklahoma, where Courtney Dennis was sworn in as Ward 6 commissioner, Whitney Roberts began a second term and Frank Baker completed a term begun when Commissioner Saragusa left to serve as undersheriff of Grant County.

Mayor Mason opened the swearing-in and noted the rarity of the election circumstances: "I was also grateful enough to run, and all 3 of them run unopposed, which is amazing," he said, drawing attention to the uncontested races. During the ceremony, Dennis pledged to serve the city: "It really is an honor to serve as your Ward 6 Commissioner," Courtney Dennis said, and told residents she is "committed to serving you with integrity and heart, with the focus on growth, accountability, and really building an Enid that we're all proud to make our home."

The mayor also acknowledged the timing of the oath relative to other city work, saying he found it notable that "every time we swear in new commissioners, it's right during the budget hearings." He thanked the new and returning commissioners for agreeing to serve and for the time required to prepare for meetings.

City staff administered the oath that includes pledges to uphold the U.S. Constitution and the Constitution of the state of Oklahoma and to faithfully discharge the duties of the office. No votes or motions were taken; the action recorded at the meeting was the formal swearing-in of the three commissioners.

The meeting transcript did not specify term lengths, start dates beyond the oath, or any immediate committee or assignment changes for the newly sworn commissioners. The mayor and Courtney Dennis both referenced the work ahead but provided no further schedule details during the ceremony.
