Board member sworn in after brief oath at meeting
Summary
During the opening of a meeting, a moderator administered the oath of office and a board member repeated and affirmed the oath; officials then arranged for paperwork signing to complete the swearing-in.
A board member was sworn into office during the opening of a meeting when a moderator administered the oath of office and the new member repeated it aloud.
The moderator asked the attendee to "please raise your right hand and repeat after me," and the board member repeated the oath, including: "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California" and that they would "faithfully discharge the duties" of the office. The exchange constituted the formal swearing-in in the provided transcript.
After the oath, a speaker congratulated the board member. The moderator then addressed the sergeant and requested that the oath paperwork be signed to complete the administrative steps: "sergeant and if we could have you sign your um o over." No motions, votes, policy deliberations, or other substantive agenda items appear in the supplied excerpt.
The ceremony and paperwork request closed the recorded segment; the transcript does not specify the name of the board, the identity of the sworn individual, or any subsequent agenda items.
