Dwendolyn Creasy sworn in as Newark District 4 councilmember
Summary
The Newark City Council added an oath of office to the agenda and sworn in Dwendolyn Creasy as the District 4 councilmember; the addition to the agenda and the oath were approved unanimously.
Dwendolyn Creasy was sworn in as the District 4 member of the Newark City Council during the council's April 21 meeting after the council voted to add an oath of office to the agenda.
The council voted to add the oath to the agenda by voice vote; the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Travis McDermott then administered the oath. During the public swearing, Creasy recited the oath, including a pledge to uphold the constitutions of the United States and the State of Delaware and to "faithfully discharge the duties" of a council member for the City of Newark.
The addition of the oath and the swearing-in took place early in the meeting, before presentations and other agenda items. No formal discussion or dissent was recorded on the motion to add the oath. Council members registered their ayes in roll-call style during the vote and the mayor indicated the motion passed by a 5'0'00 margin.
Creasy's oath concludes the formal requirements for taking office; the council proceeded to other business after the ceremony.
