City Hall Readies for Changing of the Guard at Monday’s Swearing In Ceremony

With the final vote tally completed Wednesday officially deciding Tyron Hampton as District 1 Councilmember and re-affirming Terry Tornek as Mayor, City Hall now prepares for next Monday’s swearing in ceremony and the dawn of a new era in Pasadena government.

When City Clerk Mark Jomsky administers the oath of office for incoming Mayor Terry Tornek, Bill Bogaard becomes a private citizen after 16 years of leadership. Tornek’s management style and priorities as Mayor are as yet unclear.

The ceremony will also end Vice Mayor Jacque Robinson’s service not only as District 1 Councilmember but in her key role as Chair of the Public Safety Committee, the body which is the City Council’s gatekeeper for key issues including a civilian oversight board of police and the release of the McDade shooting report.

This election’s  “changing of the guard” seems likely to reshuffle City Hall’s political realities swiftly.

The swearing in process on Monday will follow a traditional procedure which begins with the 4 p.m. convening of the current City Council  to accept the Certificate of the Canvass (the vote and vote results). This will lead to the adoption of a resolution to declare new Mayor and new District 1 councilmember. This will be followed by presentations and statements from various people in attendance.

The Council will adjourn about 5 p.m. and reception will be held in the City Hall Courtyard.

At 6 p.m. the organizational meeting reconvenes and City Clerk Jomsky will administer the oaths of office.

Mayor Tornek and City Councilmembers will make statements next, followed by the election of a new Vice Mayor. This will be followed by closing statements and adjournment.

The entire ceremony is open to the public.
