Daryl Bruner sworn in as Nampa mayor; pastor prays for city's unity
Summary
At a pre-council ceremony in Nampa, City Clerk Shari Tim administered the oath to Daryl Bruner, who pledged to follow the path of the late Mayor Rick Hogaboom; Pastor Keith Wagner offered a prayer for wisdom and unity. The formal city council meeting was announced to begin at 5:00.
Daryl Bruner was sworn in as mayor of Nampa during a brief pre-council ceremony, where City Clerk Shari Tim administered the oath of office and family members joined him on stage.
When asked whether he would "support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state of Idaho" and "faithfully discharge the duties of mayor," Bruner responded, "I will," drawing sustained applause. After the oath he thanked family members, noting he and his wife, Paula, are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.
Bruner referenced the city's recent loss of former Mayor Rick Hogaboom and said he intends to follow Hogaboom's example while relying on municipal staff. "This city is in good hands," he said, and singled out Clay Long, described in the record as the chief of staff, for administrative support.
Pastor Keith Wagner of Grace Grace Bible led a prayer asking for wisdom, courage and integrity for the mayor, city council and staff. In the prayer Wagner referenced the community's grief over the late mayor and asked for guidance for Nampa's future.
The ceremony concluded with an announcement that the formal Nampa City Council meeting would begin at 5:00; attendees were told they could leave if they wished. No council votes or motions were recorded during the ceremonial swearing-in portion of the gathering.
