The oath was administered in a short, informal ceremony during which an official prompted the recitation and asked Burns to raise his right hand. Burns opened his recitation by stating, "I, Kevin Burns," and then affirmed his commitment to both constitutions and to "faithfully, honestly, and impartially discharge the duties" of a council member for the village of Cleves.

The ceremony included brief congratulatory remarks after the oath and a few moments of small talk; no additional formal actions or votes were recorded in the supplied transcript. The recited term end date was given as 12/31/2029.

The swearing-in completes the formal step required for Burns to assume his elected seat on the Cleves Village Council. The record provided does not include further agenda items, committee assignments or a public date for any follow-up business.
