Wheeling officials sworn in as village reconvenes; trustees, clerk and president take oath
Summary
Newly elected and re-elected Wheeling officials took their oaths of office at a special meeting, formally reconvening the Board of Trustees and restarting regular business.
Pat Horcher, Catherine M. Brady and five trustees were sworn into office at a special Village of Wheeling meeting that reconvened the regular session on May 6, 2025. Judge Pysanka administered oaths for the village president, clerk and trustees before the board moved on to routine and new business.
The administration of oaths marked the formal start of the new board’s term after a short adjournment for the certification of election results and the transfer ceremony. The swearing-in included Catherine M. Brady as village clerk and trustees Mary C. Krueger, Mary Papantos, Trustee Raffato, Trustee Lang and Trustee Vito (as recorded in the meeting roll calls). The board then reconvened into regular session and proceeded to citizen concerns, staff reports and a consent agenda.
The oaths were followed by brief remarks and recognitions and then by routine roll calls that established a full quorum for subsequent votes. The board then approved routine items on the consent agenda and began consideration of new business, including land-use matters and contract approvals.
Officials present used the ceremony to recognize the continuity of municipal operations and to thank voters; the meeting then transitioned into the evening’s agenda items with a full board present.
