New Era for White Plains
Adam Bradley Takes Office as Mayor to Complete an All Democratic Common Council
By: Pat Casey
Published: January 08, 2010
After a jubilant and public inauguration on Sun., Jan. 3, the first Common Council Meeting of 2010 was held the following day with newly sworn in Mayor Adam Bradley taking the helm for the first time.
There was a brief Citizens To Be Heard session, during which residents approached the podium to thank Mayor Bradley for putting himself forward at this time and to wish him well. At 7:30 p.m. Mayor Bradley struck the gavel to call the official Council meeting to order. The room was packed with well-wishers and the mood was high. After the Pledge to the Flag, the two new members of the Council, David Buchwald and Beth Smayda took their oaths of office. Tom Roach followed, being sworn in for his third term on the Council. The Oaths of Office for Common Council were administered by White Plains Judge, the Honorable Jo Ann Friia.
The first order of business for the new team was to approve staffing appointments made by Mayor Bradley. These included John G. Callahan as Corporation Counsel, who will also serve as Chief of Staff; Michael Genito as Commissioner of Finance; John Steward as Director of Information Service; and David Chong as Commissioner of Public Safety.
A unanimous vote of the Council named Councilman Roach as Council president, a position he will hold for two years.
