Three Rye City Councilmembers were inducted during a brief City Hall ceremony on New Year’s Day morning. New members Keith Cunningham and Jamie Jensen and returning member Josh Nathan were sworn in by the Honorable Judge Valerie Livingston of the Rye City Court.
According to city code, the Council will vote by majority to appoint someone to fill Stack’s empty seat until the next election.
“Good beginnings, bright beginnings, they matter,” said the Rev. Kate Malin of Christ Church Rye during the invocation. “Every new year is rich with promise and possibility and every new year offers new life and new adventures and hope, plain and simple.”
“Give our local representatives courage, humility and foresight that they may consider the needs of all people, be good stewards of the earth and make wise decisions for the well being of our society.
