Callie Bassett, the city recorder, led a brief swearing-in ceremony at 12:00 p.m., administering the oath of office to newly elected municipal officials and inviting attendees to join for photos and refreshments.

"On behalf of Pier 1 City, welcome," Bassett said, explaining the purpose of the gathering: "we come together in support of our local government and the individuals who have committed themselves to public service." Bassett described the oath as both a beginning and a continuation of public commitments.

During the ceremony Bassett instructed oath recipients to raise their right hands and repeat the oath. At SEG 054 Carlyle Clement responded, "I, Carlyle Clement, do solemnly swear or affirm," and repeated the pledges to support the constitutions and to "discharge the duties of my office with fidelity." Bassett then requested that attendees sign two copies of the oath-of-office forms — "one for you, one for me."

The recorder closed the formal portion of the ceremony by thanking attendees for their presence, noting the event was "short and sweet," and inviting guests to refreshments and photographs.

The transcript records two slightly different spellings for the municipal name ("Pier 1 City" and later "Pierwyn City"). The recorder introduced herself as representing the city; the transcript provides no additional official names or titles for the elected officials sworn in. The ceremony included no motions, votes, or formal policy actions and concluded with oath signatures and a reception.
