Mabton moderator introduces new and returning council members; meeting adjourns

The meeting moderator introduced the newly elected and returning members of the Mabton City Council following the oath-taking on Jan. 2, 2026. The moderator named Ruben Olivares as newly elected and identified Sofia Sotelo and Mary Alvarado as returning members; Arturo de la Corte was noted as present.

The moderator said, "that concludes our swearing in and this meeting," and the clerk recorded the time as 06:17 PM on Jan. 2. There were no recorded votes, motions, or substantive policy discussions in the available transcript; the session focused on ceremonial swearing-in and introductions.

The transcript contains several transcription irregularities in place names (for example, appearances of "Macton" and other variants). Those items have been normalized in this report to the locally confirmed municipality name "Mabton."
