The city of Doraville will swear in the new mayor and three council members on Jan. 6.

The public is invited for the swearing-in of Mayor-elect Joseph Geierman and council members-elect Andy Yeoman (District 1), Rebecca Cohen Morris (District 2) and Maria T. Alexander (District 3) at 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 6, at Forest Fleming Arena in Honeysuckle Park, 3037 Pleasant Valley Dr, Doraville.

The mayor’s race had to be decided with a runoff, as none of the four candidates received more than 50% of the vote in November.

On Dec. 3 Joseph Geierman was able to secure about 65 percent of the 833 total votes cast to beat incumbent Donna Pittman who was first elected in 2011.

Geierman, who served on Doraville’s city council, included bringing businesses and good paying jobs back to Doraville, taking a “big picture” approach to economic development and improving government transparency as his goals.

Seating for the event begins at 6 p.m., with the program to follow. Light refreshments will be served afterward.
