Rowlett City Council on June 16 unanimously approved a resolution canvassing the results of the June 7 runoff election for Council Member Place 6 and then administered the oath of office to John V. Bowers III ("Trey"). City Secretary Ms. Sorensen presented the results, reporting that Pamela Bell received 1,364 votes (43.86%) and John V. Bowers III received 1,746 votes (56.14%).

The canvass was put to a motion — "I move we approve a resolution canvassing the results of the runoff election for council member place 6" — which received a second and passed by show of hands, 6 to 0, according to the meeting record. The transcript does not list individual roll-call votes by name. The City Charter requirement that candidates for mayor or city council be elected by a majority of votes cast was cited during the presentation of results; because Bowers received a majority, the council declared him duly elected.

Following the canvass, State Representative Retta Bowers administered the oath of office to John V. Bowers III, who took the oath to "faithfully execute the duties of the office of city council member Place 6." In brief remarks after being sworn in, Council Member John V. Bowers III thanked supporters and said the campaign "was about standing up for a vision that leadership puts people first" and that he would "remain accessible, accountable, and honest." He listed priorities including transparency, fiscal responsibility, road repairs and strengthened services.

Mayor and council members invited those present to a reception after the meeting to greet the newly sworn member. The meeting record also notes that, with Bowers seated, the council is again composed of seven members.

No further formal actions were taken on this item; the transcript records no amendments or follow-up assignments tied to the canvass or oath.
