Join us Dec. 13, 2022 for Council Reorganization

Latest election results and City Council Reorganization 

As of the last report, there are only small number of CVR ballots to count, with the next update coming out on Monday Dec. 5, 2022. The remaining votes are not expected to change the outcome of our Belmont elections. 

While the results are still being certified and any remaining ballots are being counted, we appreciate the community’s interest in Measure K and thank all of the residents who participated in Your Voice, Your Belmont as well as this important election. The enactment of Measure K will allow the City to continue to address the community’s city service needs and priorities. 

We’re planning an oath of office ceremony at the Dec. 13, 2022 City Council meeting, starting at 6:30 p.m.

Here’s what to expect: 

- Our current Mayor Julia Mates will open the meeting.
- The current City Council will take action on the business items, which will include the certification of the election (the Registrar of Voters is expected to provide the final results by Dec. 8, 2022).
- Then we will swear in our newly elected officials – starting with our new directly-elected Mayor, along with new Council Members for Districts 1 and 3.
- We’ll take a short break to switch the nameplates on the dais, after which our new City Council will proceed with the meeting.
- In addition to congratulating our newly elected officials, we will be recognizing City Council Members Warren Lieberman and Charles Stone for their service to Belmont.

Once the meeting is over, everyone will adjourn to our EOC at City Hall for an informal reception. 

All of this is open to the public and we encourage you to stop by or watch the event virtually or on local channel 27.

One of our favorite things about local government is the connection we have with the community. There are so many ways to get engaged and coming to a City Council meeting is a great place to start.
