(Utica, NY – Dec. 29, 2011) Robert Michael Palmieri will become the Seventy-Sixth Mayor of the City of Utica on Friday, Dec. 30 at 4:30 PM in the Common Council Chambers.
The Mayor’s Inauguration Committee announced that The Honorable Anthony J. Garramone, accomplished jurist and public servant, will administer Palmieri’s Oath of Office. Common Council President William Morehouse and the members of Utica’s Common Council will be sworn in along with the Mayor-Elect.
“If Utica is to move forward, we must all move forward together,” Palmieri said. “That’s is why I am grateful to each member of the Common Council for joining me at the beginning of the most challenging year our city has ever faced. Further, I am honored that Judge Garramone will oversee this important event. Finally, it is a privilege to return to City Hall and the same Chambers where I first began serving the people nearly two decades ago.”
The Mayor-Elect will deliver brief remarks. A reception will immediately follow the formal program.


Congratulations Mr. Palmeri.
I wish you well.
Please do not listen only to the people that Mr. Roefaro did.
You must look at everything from your own perspective.
Try to listen to other people, the ones that do the work.
You need some honest information instead of the BS.
And look around you. Drive through the city.
Have coffee and lunch in more than one restuarant.
We need you.
Thanks
