William Page sworn in as Mountlake Terrace councilmember for Position 3

Councilmember William Page was sworn in to Mountlake Terrace City Council Position 3 during the council meeting on April 10, 2025. The oath was administered at the council dais and followed a brief procedural agenda change earlier in the meeting to accommodate the swearing-in.

Page, who took the oath in a public ceremony, thanked the council for appointing him. "I just wanna take this opportunity right now to, first of all, thank the, the council for the decision of appointing me, to this position," he said. He used his remarks to acknowledge family, colleagues and community supporters, and said he looks forward to listening and serving.

The meeting record shows an earlier motion to move Agenda Item 5 to Item 2 so the swearing-in could occur sooner; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The motion mover and seconder were not identified by name in the transcript; the council proceeded to conduct the oath and then completed the roll call.

No formal roll-call vote to appoint Page is recorded in the provided transcript; the swearing-in itself is recorded in the meeting minutes. Page later offered further remarks of gratitude on the council floor, noting the role of local community groups and DEI commissioners in encouraging civic participation.

The swearing-in concludes a public step in seating the new councilmember; the council returned to scheduled business afterward.
