Florence will hold an investiture ceremony for newly elected and re-elected City Council members on Tuesday, November 10, at 6 p.m. The city announced the arrangements in a release dated November 6.

The ceremony is scheduled for City Council Chambers on the first floor of the City Center, 324 West Evans Street. The release identifies that location for administration of the oaths of office.

LaNika “Shelly” Williams is listed as the newly elected council member. The three re-elected members named in the announcement are Bryan A. Braddock, LaShonda NeSmith-Jackson and J. Lawrence Smith II.

The announcement concerns the upcoming ceremony rather than a report that the members have already taken their oaths. It does not provide vote totals or announce additional council business for that evening.
