Clarksville elected officials swearing-in ceremony set for Jan. 4
A special session of Clarksville City Council has been called for the afternoon of Wednesday, Jan. 4, for the sole purpose of administering the oath of office to Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts and seven Clarksville City Council members.
The swearing-in ceremony is set for 4 p.m. at the Wilma Rudolph Event Center, 8 Champions Way, in Liberty Park.
"The Oath of Office ceremony is a time-honored tradition to celebrate those who chose to enter the arena of public service to our city as a member of the City Council," Mayor Pitts said.
