Marco L. Thomas sworn in as councilman; outgoing members honored
Summary
At a Dec. 2 special meeting Marco L. Thomas recited the oath of office as a newly sworn City of Edgewater councilman; the council also presented plaques to outgoing Councilwoman Gigi Bennington and Councilwoman Jonah Powers.
During the Dec. 2, 2024 special City of Edgewater council meeting, Marco L. Thomas was sworn in as a councilman.
In his oath he stated: "I, Marco L. Thomas, do solemnly swear that I will support, protect and defend the Constitution and government of the United States and state of Florida, the charter and ordinances of the City of Edgewater ... and that I will well and faithfully perform the duties of councilman. So help me God." The statement is recorded verbatim in the transcript and attributed to the speaker who self-identified as Marco L. Thomas.
Earlier in the meeting council members and staff offered thanks to outgoing members; the transcript records a brief exchange in which speakers disagreed about whether an outgoing member had served 13 or 17 years before colleagues expressed appreciation. The council then presented plaques to outgoing Councilwoman Gigi Bennington and Councilwoman Jonah Powers and briefly adjourned for two minutes to allow the presentations.
No contested claims or public complaints are recorded in the transcript for these presentation items. The meeting resumed after the short adjournment.
