(John Bearrows, Kathryn Shaw-Dickey, and Dan McDermott are sworn into office by Rochelle City Clerk Bruce McKinney)
Rochelle council winners from last month's Consolidated Election were sworn into office during a ceremony yesterday at City Hall.
The winners included Dan McDermott, John Bearrows, and Kathryn Shaw-Dickey. Each were voted to 4-year terms.
They all said the biggest challenge for the council right now is the hiring a new city manager by this fall along with having a balanced budget and reduce spending deficits.
The first meeting of the new Rochelle City Council will take place next Monday, May 8th at 7pm
