Several borough officials were sworn into office at an organizational meeting that opened with a moment of silence for Firefighter Joe Dugan of Engine/Company 5, who was reported as having passed away. A meeting host asked attendees to "have a moment of silence for Joe," and the assembly complied.

Judicial officers on hand administered ceremonial oaths to several individuals who recited the standard oath to "support, obey, and defend" the constitutions of the United States and the commonwealth and to "discharge the duties of my office with fidelity." Those sworn in, as recorded in the transcript, included Jason Stein, Mike Galovich, Philip J. Ostrovsky and Robert False; the transcript also records a tax-collector swearing for an individual identified as Donna. Officials thanked the judges who performed the ceremonies and noted family members in attendance.

The swearing-in sequence concluded with brief acknowledgments and a transition to the meeting's first order of business: choosing council leadership and addressing administrative appointments. The meeting then moved into nominations for council president and vice president.
