Universal City council unanimously certifies May 2 election and administers oaths
Summary
The Universal City City Council voted unanimously to approve Resolution 9812026 canvassing the May 2, 2026 election, then a judge administered the oath of office to the mayor and council members; sworn officials completed state paperwork before the meeting adjourned.
The Universal City City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved Resolution 9812026 to canvass the May 2, 2026 general election and confirm the winners, then held an official swearing-in ceremony for elected officials.
The presiding official opened the special meeting at 6:32 p.m. and presented the resolution described as "a resolution canvassing the vote of the May 2, 2026 general election, declaring the candidates elected, requiring an oath of office and providing for an effective date." Vine moved to approve the resolution and council member Vaughn seconded; a roll-call vote followed and the clerk recorded five "Aye" votes. The presiding official declared, "That is approved." (Resolution number read at the meeting: 9812026.)
A municipal judge then administered the oath of office to the mayor and council members. In the courtroom-form oath, the judge led officials in the pledge: "I do solemnly swear or affirm that I will faithfully execute the duties of the office..." Officials signed the required state paperwork after taking the oath.
The meeting record shows the oath and signatures will be filed with the city as required. No amendments or conditions to the resolution were proposed during the discussion; the council moved from canvass to administering the oath without further debate.
