Four of the five newly elected Elgin City Council members were sworn into office Wednesday night. Toby Shaw was elected to a 2-year seat; incumbents John Prigge and Richard Dunne were re-elected to 4-year terms, along with Carol Rauschenberger, a former Elgin Township trustee, and Terry Gavin, who served on the city council in the 1990s. Dunne was out of the country, visiting Elgin's sister city Cauquenes in Chile.
