New Page council members sworn in; outgoing officials honored
Summary
Newly elected Page council members Amanda Hammond, "Deborah," Tom Prowler and Steven Kidman were sworn in; the council thanked outgoing members John Kogen, Leitner and Mayor Dyack during the meeting.
At the organizational meeting, the council administered the oath of office to the newly elected members. Amanda Hammond declared, "I, Amanda Hammond," and repeated the oath; a speaker identified as "Deborah" repeated the oath and was sworn in; Tom Prowler and Steven (Stephen R.) Kidman also took the oath and were seated.
Before the oaths, the council presented awards and brief remarks honoring outgoing officials. Speaker 1 introduced an award for outgoing Vice Mayor John Kogen and others thanked Mr. Leitner for his service. Speaker 1, introduced earlier in the meeting as Mayor Dyack, reflected on roughly 14 years in public service and said the city is in a stronger financial position after years of fiscal difficulty.
Mayor Dyack said, "It's been my pleasure to serve the community of Page," and thanked fellow council members and the community for their support. Several speakers exchanged light-hearted remarks as awards were presented.
After the oaths, Speaker 1 introduced the incoming council to the public by name and the clerk conducted roll call. The council then proceeded to organization business, including the appointment of a vice mayor and scheduling for future meetings and training. The meeting adjourned at 05:23.
