Summary
Two individuals took the oath of office for Nogales City Council in a short ceremony where a judge administered the oath and newly sworn members thanked residents and pledged to work with the community and county.
A short ceremony in Nogales, Arizona, formally swore in two members of the Nogales City Council.
A judge administered the oath of office. Lisa Montiel, upon taking the oath, recited: "I, Lisa Montiel, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution and laws of the State of Arizona" and pledged to "faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of the office of city council in the City of Nogales." The transcript records the oath in full as part of the ceremony.
Elisa (surname not specified) also took the oath and addressed attendees, saying she would continue to serve after her prior term, "I promise to serve you as I did my first 4 years." Another newly sworn official thanked residents for reelecting them and expressed readiness to begin serving.
Remarks at the close of the ceremony encouraged cooperation between the council, staff and residents. One speaker noted ongoing coordination with county officials and said the council should work with the community to address border-related and other local issues.
No formal votes or policy actions were recorded during the ceremony; the transcript documents only the administration of oaths and brief remarks of appreciation and intent to work with residents and county partners.
The event included informal post-ceremony comments and brief reception notes about refreshments. The transcript does not specify the exact date of the ceremony or full surnames for one sworn member.
