The Town of Melbourne Beach swore in Dr. Terry Cronin and Sherry Corey as commissioners at-large on Nov. 19, then moved quickly through administrative business that included a unanimous vote to name Cronin vice mayor.
Town Clerk Amber Brown administered the oaths to Cronin and Corey, each repeating the formal pledge to “support and defend the Constitution and the government of the United States and the State of Florida” before the commission and public. After the oaths the commission recessed briefly for a reception and reconvened to complete business.
Commissioner Sherry Corey moved to appoint Dr. Cronin as vice mayor; Commissioner Anna Butler seconded the motion and the commission approved the appointment 5–0. The mayor thanked the new and departing members and noted logistical changes to seating and committee assignments that followed the appointment.
The meeting also included several administrative agenda adjustments: commissioners agreed by consent to move new business items (12 d and 12 e) earlier in the order to accommodate staff schedules, and to table two items (10 a and 12 f) until the Jan. 21, 2026 meeting so staff could supply additional data.
What’s next: Cronin will serve as vice mayor immediately; commissioners also confirmed representatives to regional bodies and committees at the Nov. 19 meeting.
