At the May 12 meeting, City Secretary Christi Wynn administered the Oath of Office to Mayor Stephen E. Haynes and to Councilmembers HD Jones (Ward 1) and Draco A. Miller (Ward 4). Following the oaths, Councilmember Ed McMillian nominated Councilmember Walker Willey to serve as Mayor Pro Tem; Councilmember HD Jones seconded the nomination. No other nominations were made and the motion carried unanimously.
Why it matters: The swearing‑in formalizes authority for the mayor and ward representatives, and selecting a Mayor Pro Tem designates who presides in the mayor's absence.
