Longtime Glendale resident Ray Malnar said he has some studying to do before he joins the City Council.
Glendale officials previously believed Malnar could be sworn in on Dec. 8, but further research indicated that a member elected by recall should be sworn in as early as possible, which would be Tuesday, said City Clerk Pam Hanna.
Malnar toppled first-term member Gary Sherwood in a recall election Tuesday, 54 percent to 46 percent. Maricopa County elections officials expect to certify the vote count late Friday.
