Brentwood Aldermen Sworn In, Departing Members Recognized

Following a sometimes-tumultuous aldermanic race in Brentwood's Ward 1, a close one in Ward 4, and two uncontested races, the four aldermen were sworn in.

City administrator Bola Akande read the certified election results, then Maureen Saunders (Ward 1), Cindy Manestar (Ward 2), Andy Leahy (Ward 3) and Patrick Toohey (Ward 4) were sworn in, and walked behind the platform and took their seats.

Barbara Clements was recognized for her 19 years as alderman, and Mike Marshall for his 11 years of service.

Lorraine Krewson couldn't make the meeting because of illness, so her daughters accepted the recognition for her. Krewson was city clerk for 30 years before she became alderman for Ward 4.
