Angela Parisio Reyes sworn in at Newport City Council special meeting

Angela Parisio Reyes was sworn in as a city councilor at a brief special meeting of the Newport City Council. A city official administered the oath, and Reyes repeated it before the council and audience.

The oath included a pledge to support "the constitutions of The United States of America and the state of Oregon" and to uphold "the charter and ordinances of the city of Newport," and to "perform the duties of the office of city councilor," Reyes said during the ceremony. The oath was administered by an unidentified city official who conducted roll call and the formal swearing-in.

City staff conducted a roll call before the oath. Councilor Eamon, Councilor Rumagu, Councilor Hickman, Mayor Kaplan and Councilor Hall were recorded present; Councilor Jacoby was noted as excused. After the oath, the presiding officer invited applause and said, "Welcome aboard."

The presiding officer announced a special reception "immediately following adjournment" in honor of the newly sworn councilor and then adjourned the meeting. The presiding officer used the name "Aberycio Reyes" when announcing the reception; the sworn name given during the oath was Angela Parisio Reyes. The article uses the sworn name as provided on the record.

No motions or formal votes were recorded during the session; the meeting consisted of roll call, the oath of office, a brief welcome, an announcement about a reception and adjournment.
