The Beaumont City Council approved an ordinance canvassing the results of the June election and administered the oath of office to Roy West as mayor.
The canvass showed Roy West receiving 6,478 votes (50.81%) and Robin Mouton receiving 6,271 votes (49.19%). The city manager read the totals during the meeting and the council then moved to approve the ordinance certifying those results. The motion to approve was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Judge Brannick then administered the oath of office to Roy West. After the oath, the council recessed briefly and later returned to conduct regular business and to recess into executive session on separate agenda items.
The ordinance certification and swearing-in formally finalize the vote totals announced to the council and place Roy West into the office of mayor for the term certified by the canvass. The canvass and oath were recorded on the meeting minutes and the council approved the formal motion to adopt the canvass.
The council voted by voice; individual roll-call vote names for the motion were not recorded on the transcript.
The council later recessed into executive session on unrelated legal matters after completing the canvass and oath.
