Westminster City officials, including a newly named member, take oath in brief ceremony
Summary
Several Westminster municipal council members took the oath of office at a short ceremony that included an invocation and group photograph; a new member named Melissa was acknowledged by the meeting moderator. Attendees recited the oath pledging to "preserve, protect, and defend the constitution."
Several members of the Westminster municipal council were sworn into office during a brief ceremony that opened with words of thanks and a prayer.
The meeting moderator invited family members and city employees to the event and thanked returning members by name, saying "we appreciate you stepping up," and singled out one new member, Melissa, as a "big asset" to the council. An attendee led an invocation, asking for blessing on those "willing to serve our community and help guide us through the next 4 years." Attendees responded "Amen."
A clerk led the formal oath of office, asking each individual to repeat language affirming qualification "according to the constitution of this state" and pledging to "preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of this state and of The United States." Multiple participants repeated the oath, and the clerk then invited the newly sworn members to join together for a group photograph. An organizer introduced several people for the photo, including a person identified as Sean from the Synodical Journal, and referred to Mayor Ramey and others present.
There were no formal votes or motions recorded during the segment. The ceremony concluded with participants gathering for portraits and an invitation to remain and visit afterward.
