From the City of San Juan Capistrano:
The City Council on Tuesday selected Derek Reeve to serve as Mayor and Pam Patterson, Esq. as Mayor Pro Tem for 2015 during its annual reorganization. This is the first mayoral stint for Council Member Reeve, who was first elected to office in 2010. Voters re-elected him and elected Council Members Patterson and Kerry Ferguson to the council last month. On Tuesday, the three were officially sworn into office. During the meeting, Sam Allevato was honored for serving as the City’s Mayor for a third time. Larry Kramer and John Taylor were also honored for their service to San Juan Capistrano, both of whom served as Mayors during their term. The City Council meets the first and third Tuesday of the month in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 32400 Paseo Adelanto.

Shortly after this, the council reorganization was decided by vote of the new members and a short break was called. During that time, the name tags on the dais were updated. During the interim, the new members occupied what you might call a “hot seat”.
Thank you for sharing you photos, Jim.
