AUBURN -- On the first day of the new year, Auburn's new mayor presided over his first council meeting as the former mayor watched on.
Michael Quill was inaugurated Tuesday at West Middle School as former Mayor Timothy Lattimore handed over the title and the gavel. Councilors Gilda Brower and Thomas McNabb also were sworn in during the noon ceremony.
More then 200 people attended the ceremony, mostly Auburn residents eager to see the direction the fresh council will take, Quill said. The 40-minute ceremony took place in the school and not city hall to accommodate the large number of people interested in celebrating the start of a new year and council for Auburn.
"It's right they should be here," Quill added.
Quill donned his reading glasses and read a speech in which he repeatedly stressed his campaign's main goal, teamwork and the "frank exchange of ideas."
