Crescent City swears in new council member and a police officer
Summary
Council held two ceremonial oaths: Steve Shamlin took the oath of office as a newly appointed council member, and a recruit (identified in the transcript as Fulton/Colton Maxwell) was sworn in as a police officer following academy training and cadet commendations.
At the start of its meeting the Crescent City Council administered two oaths of office.
Steve Shamlin was sworn in as the council’s newest member. The oath was administered by the city clerk and followed earlier council action at a special meeting to appoint him to the seat. Shamlin received a welcome from council members.
The council also administered an oath for a newly appointed police officer identified in the transcript alternately as “Fulton Maxwell” and as “Colton Maxwell.” A presenter outlined the recruit process — background checks, a psychology exam, fitness testing, and academy evaluation — and read cadet praise for the recruit, including that he produced a 160‑plus‑page study guide and that cadets voted unanimously to give him an award. The recruit thanked the council and said he “look[s] forward to representing the city well.”
Both ceremonial items were followed by brief staff remarks and then the council moved to public comment (no speakers) and the consent calendar.
