Medford’s elected officials will take their oath of office in an inauguration ceremony on Monday, January 2, 2012.

The ceremony will take place at 10AM in the Council Chambers and will be immediately followed by a reception.

The Mayor, along with each newly-elected City Councilor and School Committee member, will take an oath of office for their respective two-year terms.

Everyone in the community is invited to attend the ceremony, which will also be broadcast live on Channel 16, the city’s municipal channel.

Mayor Michael McGlynn, the longest-serving mayor in the state, will be sworn in for his thirteenth consecutive term.

Six City Councilors were re-elected- Robert Maiocco, Breanna Lungo-Koehn, Michael Marks, Paul Camuso, Robert Penta, and Frederick Dello Russo, Jr. They will be joined by freshman councilor Rick Caraviello, who was elected to his first two-year term on the Council in November.

Two new School Committee members will receive the oath of office, Erin DiBenedetto and Robert E. Skerry, Jr. DiBenedetto has been elected to her first term while Skerry, a long-time School Committee member who was not re-elected in 2009, earned a seat back on the Committee this fall. Four incumbents were re-elected to the School Committee, Ann Marie Cugno, Paulette Van der Kloot, George Scarpelli, and John Falco.
