The Town Commission of Highland Beach unanimously approved Resolution 2026-004 on March 24, declaring each unopposed candidate for the Town Commission elected to office, the clerk announced. After the roll-call vote, Lynelda administered the statutory oaths of office.
Natasha Moore repeated the affirmations and was sworn in as mayor; later in the session Donald Peters recited the oath and was sworn in as commissioner. Both officials thanked supporters: "Thank you everyone for your support. I am honored to serve," Mayor Moore said after taking the oath. The commission offered congratulations and photos followed.
