I do solemnly swear
Although their terms of office don’t officially start until September 1, most of those elected to county wide and district offices in the DeKalb County General Election on August 1 took their ceremonial oath of office Friday evening in the county complex auditorium.
County Mayor Matt Adcock presided over the program and administered the oath to each individually.
Those taking the oath of office were Assessor of Property Shannon Cantrell; Board of Education members Megan Moore (5th district) and Jason Miller (6th district) and Constables: Tyler Cripps (1st district), Danny Adamson (2nd district), Travis Bryant (3rd district), Mark Milam (5th district), Keith Elkins (6th district); and Jeremy Neal (7th district); and County Commissioner: Andy Pack (6th district).
Fourth district Constable Lane Ball and 7th district County Commissioner Mathias Anderson were unable to attend. They will take their oath of office at a later date.
The terms for each office are for four years except the two county commissioners who were elected August 1 to fill the remaining 2 years of unexpired terms.
