Before Wooster City Council wrapped up its business for 2011, four members of council and the mayor of Wooster took the oath of office surrounded by friends, colleagues and family members.
Administering the oath of office to incumbent Mayor Bob Breneman was Wayne County Common Pleas Court Judge Corey Spitler.
Spitler also swore in 3rd Ward Representative David Silvestri, who served in the dual roles of Council President Pro-Tem and Ward 3 Representative until the election of Mike Buytendyk in November.
After administering the oath of office to Council President Mike Buytendyk, Spitler swore in Craig Sanders as a new At Large Representative.
Administering the oath of office to 1st Ward Representative Mark Cavin was Wayne County Municipal Court Judge Carol White Millhoan.
In a break with tradition, the swearing in ceremony took place on Dec. 19 rather than prior to council’s first meeting of the year in January of 2012 “in order to provide for continuity of office from 2011 to 2012” according to Law Director Dick Benson.
After taking the oath of office from Wayne County Common Pleas Court Judge Corey Spitler in city council chambers Dec. 19, Mayor Bob Breneman signed the necessary paperwork to make it official.
