After the council vote, officials administered the oath of office to Richard Watson. Watson recited the oath: "I, Richard Watson, do solemnly swear to affirm that I will support the constitution of The United States, the laws of the state of Oregon, and the ordinances of the city of Westfir, and that I will faithfully discharge my duties as mayor of the city of Westfir."
Councilors then discussed immediate administrative tasks.
