The ceremony was conducted by Shelby County Probate Judge Allison Boyd for Mayor Tony Picklesimer Cody Sumners (Place 1), Scott Weygand (Place 2), Chris Grace (Place 3), Tiffany Bittner (Place 4) and Casey Morris (Place 5).
The mayor and four council members are all entering their second term. Chris Grace is serving his first full term after taking the vacated spot of David Ingram in 2019.

Several resolutions were approved by the council after the swearing in ceremony.
