Summary

Nicholas Rice took the oath of office Oct. 6 before the Salisbury City Council. Mayor Randolph J. Taylor and council members welcomed Rice, who said he was eager to begin work after a first day of meetings.

Nicholas Rice was sworn in as Salisbury's city administrator during the Oct. 6 legislative session.

Rice placed his right hand on the Bible and repeated the oath of office administered by the clerk. Mayor Randolph J. Taylor read a proclamation welcoming the new administrator and later said he was "super glad he's in the chair, and we're excited to get going." Rice and his family posed for photographs in the council chamber following the oath.

City officials said the change formalizes the reporting structure under the new administration and starts Rice's transition into the role, which city leaders characterized as "day one" of what they expect to be an active tenure. No formal council action was required for the swearing-in, which followed routine ceremonial items at the start of the meeting.
