David Daniels sworn in to Sumas council amid resident objections to appointment process
Summary
The council administered the oath of office to David Daniels for Council Position No. 5 on May 26; residents had asked the council to reconsider the appointment and requested a revote.
The Sumas City Council recorded the swearing-in of David Daniels to Council Position No. 5 on May 26 when City Attorney Jim Wright administered the oath of office.
The ceremonial action followed several public comments criticizing the appointment process and asking the council to revisit the nomination. Residents presented a letter and urged a revote; one resident said he "did not believe members of the same family should serve on the council at the same time." The minutes show no recorded motion to reverse the appointment; the oath completed the council's record of the appointment.
The oath closed the process on the record; no additional votes or amendments related to the appointment were recorded in the meeting minutes.
