Hallsville council administers oaths and pins police badges
Summary
City Secretary Laura Welch administered oaths of office to the mayor and three aldermen and to the police chief, sergeant and patrol officers; family members participated in badge pinning.
City Secretary Laura Welch administered oaths of office at the Hallsville City Council meeting on Oct. 21, 2025, swearing in Mayor Jesse Casey and three aldermen: Charlie Hunt, Lauren Bresch and newly appointed Alderwoman Lara Hood. Family members of officers participated in a badge-pinning ceremony for the police department, and Welch also administered the Oath of Office to the police chief, sergeant and patrol officers.
The swearing-in and badge pinning were purely ceremonial actions carried out at the start of the regular meeting in Council Chambers, 201 Willow Street. No votes were required for the pinning; the council later handled administrative and policy items on the agenda.
The council convened at 6:00 p.m. and adjourned at 6:32 p.m. with the oaths and pinning completed before substantive agenda items began.
