Glenn Heights holds swearing-in for mayor and three council members
Summary
The Glenn Heights City Council opened with a swearing-in ceremony for Mayor Sonya A. Brown and three newly elected council members. Officials and a judge administered oaths, and the meeting proceeded to business including votes on appraisal-district nominees.
Sonya A. Brown took the oath and was confirmed as mayor at the start of the council meeting, which also included formal swearing-in ceremonies for newly elected council members. The ceremony included an award presentation and remarks welcoming returning and new officials.
Judge Audrey Moorehead participated in administering the oath for at least one council member. Mayor Brown introduced the ceremony and asked those being sworn to repeat the oath; the meeting packet and certificates of election were read into the record. "Do solemnly swear and affirm" is the formula recited by newly sworn officials as they accepted their duties.
The brief ceremony included family and community recognitions: children Teddy and Heaven Taylor led the pledge of allegiance, and Councilmember Travis Bruton later recognized Red Oak High School student-athlete Billy Middleton III for athletic and academic achievement. The meeting moved quickly from ceremonial items into the council's regular agenda, including votes on appraisal-district director slates and discussion of several action items.
