THURSDAY: New West U City Council takes office, then a party

At 6 pm on Thursday, Harris County Judge Ed Emmett will administer the oath of office to a new crop of West University Place city leaders in the West University Place City Council Chambers at 3800 University Blvd.

The new group’s first official action will be to pick a mayor pro-tem, or pro tempore, a Latin phrase meaning “for the time being.”  

The West University Place Mayor pro-tem is councilmember selected by their peers to represent the city when the Mayor Susan Sample is unavailable.

Immediately after the selection of the mayor pro-tem, a reception will be held to honor the new mayor and city council.
