Two city council members were sworn in and took their seats on the city council on Thursday evening before the City Council Meeting began.

Bethany Gates, 4th Ward Council Member was sworn in to fill the 4th Ward vacancy left by the death of councilman Nathan Hesson at the beginning of this year.

Rylie Pflughaupt, At-Large Council Member was elected also to fill a vacant seat left when Brian Parr submitted a letter of resignation due to relocating outside the city limits.

Third to receive his oath of office was Darren Burken, a Vinton Police Officer. Joining him were his wife Stacy and sons, Jackson and Wyatt. Stacy pinned the badge on her husband. Before joining the Vinton PD, some of Burken's experience included being an officer at the Anamosa State Penitentiary.
