Meadow officials take oath at brief swearing-in ceremony

Unidentified Speaker 1, the presiding official, opened a brief swearing-in ceremony in Meadow and said the single item of business was administering the oath of office to the mayor and two council members. The event began with the Pledge of Allegiance and a brief invocation.

During the ceremony Unidentified Speaker 1 led the pledge and offered a prayer thanking ‘‘Meadow’’ and praying for needed moisture for the coming seasons. Unidentified Speaker 2 responded ‘‘Amen’’ and later guided participants through the administrative steps for the oath and signing of documents.

The oath itself was recited by multiple people. Unidentified Speaker 2 said, "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and obey and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Utah, and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity." Variations of that oath were repeated by Unidentified Speaker 1 and Unidentified Speaker 3 as the officials were sworn in. Unidentified Speaker 2 noted there were "two for each of you to sign," and said staff would apply a seal and provide a memento after signatures.

Earlier in the meeting Unidentified Speaker 1 said, "We'll do this now and potentially we'll do this again in 2 years," indicating the possibility of repeating the process if council membership changed. The transcript also records the presiding official introducing Monica as the person who would administer the swearing-in, though Monica does not speak in the provided segments.

With the oaths administered and paperwork completed, Unidentified Speaker 2 closed the session, saying "Adjourned. Thanks for coming." No votes or other formal actions were recorded in the provided transcript segments.

The ceremony lasted only minutes and concluded with signing of documents and a thank-you to attendees; no further business was discussed in the provided segments.
