San Dimas council sworn in; members call for teamwork and inclusion
Summary
At an organizational meeting, newly sworn-in San Dimas officials received certificates and several council members used opening remarks to emphasize teamwork, inclusion and recent infrastructure wins, while the council moved into routine business.
Deborah Black, San Dimas city clerk, administered the oath of office to the newly elected officials and presented certificates before the council took their seats.
Councilmember Ryan McConnell reflected on accomplishments since his first election, citing "$850,000 in federal funding to improve San Dimas Canyon Road, adding bike lanes, repairing pavement, and creating safer access to our parks and trails." He framed the council’s work as a team effort and urged continued focus on inclusion, saying the city’s name reflects "a community that believes in grace, in redemption, and a better tomorrow." Mayor Bedard and other councilmembers joined in congratulations to returning and newly seated colleagues.
Why it matters: The ceremonial and introductory remarks set tone and priorities for the new council term and preceded the meeting’s business items, including committee appointments and later votes on transit and housing matters.
