Galambos recovering from surgery

Sandy Springs Mayor Eva Galambos will take a brief absence from her duties while she recuperates from abdominal surgery performed last week.

A city spokesman said doctors expect a full recovery, but Galambos will likely take the next several weeks to rest and recuperate. Tibby DeJulio, mayor pro-tem, will take on the mayor’s responsibilities.

Galambos announced last month that she will not seek another term as mayor.
