The Mayor's Moments

The 2nd meeting in November is when newly elected officials take the Oath of Office in Duarte. The City Clerk is administering the oath, and then I was selected as Mayor by my colleagues on the city council. It is my 4th time as mayor, and I will serve for a year. Then I will finish the remainder of the four-year term as a councilmember. We rotate the job annually.
Many of my family members and friends were there at the meeting for the Oath of Office and my installation as mayor. Thanks to all of them for help with my election. . .I couldn't have done it without them.

My first official act as Mayor was to switch the lights on the 50 foot live Christmas tree in our city. Ellie and Gavin helped, as did about 25 other little children in Duarte. It was a great evening.
