The Town Board of the Town of Cairo held a swearing-in meeting on Jan. 1, 2026, at noon at Town Hall, where oaths were administered for four town officials. Debra Bogins was sworn in as the new Town Supervisor; Joan VanDenburgh was sworn in for a new term as Town Justice; and John VanDenburgh and Michael Flaherty were sworn in as Town Council members.
The swearing-in ceremony was conducted by the Town Clerk; the meeting record identifies the clerk as responsible for the ceremony and for filing the minutes.
