He then asked for a motion to authorize the new Interim County Manager to work with County Clerk Angela Blount to get an advertisement to the local organ (the Pike Journal Reporter) for county manager to run for the next two Wednesdays with a deadline of June 26. As long as this is received by Monday, they will make an exception to run this ad. Motion to approve. Approved 4-0.

[Note from the Editor: Pike County Times has obtained information from both Henry County and Garden City on the past county manager and his tenure at each place of employment. It is more than 150 pages and contains information that, if commissioners had been in possession of it prior to his hiring, I seriously doubt that Ron Alexander would have been hired in the first place.]
