New Council Sworn In; Brown Named as Mayor

George Brown was chosen as Seal Beach mayor at this week’s swearing-in ceremony for three newly elected City Council members.

Patty Campbell will serve as mayor pro tem. Although mayor is mostly a ceremonial title, Brown, or Campbell in his absence, is now responsible for maintaining council protocol at meetings. The new council will meet for the first time on Friday in a workshop to familiarize the newcomers with local government rules and protocol.
