Gratwick Selected Peachtree Corners' Mayor Pro-Tem

PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA -- Peachtree Corners council member Weare Gratwick has been named mayor pro-tem of the city.

Gratwick was selected for the position, which fills in for the mayor in the mayor's absence, by a unanimous vote of his fellow council members Tuesday evening.

“It’s just good practice to have someone designated as mayor pro-tem in place,” said Mayor Mike Mason in a news release. “Council member Gratwick has been on the council since the city was founded, and I think the council members made a solid choice when they nominated and approved Weare for the position."

Council member Alex Wright nominated Gratwick and members Jeanne Aulbach, Lorri Christopher and Mason voted to approve the nomination. Council member Phil Sadd was not present for the vote.

"It’s really an honor to be selected," said Gratwick. "I’m pleased that the mayor and my fellow council members have put their trust in me by selecting me as mayor pro-tem."
