Pike Extends Offer To County Manager

July 17, 2012
By unanimous vote Monday in Zebulon, the Pike County Board of Commissioners�agreed to extend an offer of employment to Michael Phillips of Greenville, SC to fill the vacant position of county manager.

�The offer was made yesterday and he has indicated his willingness to accept,� Pike County Clerk Teresa Watson confirmed today.

Some details remain to be finalized but Watson said it is her understanding that Phillips could start work here by early next month.

The agreed-on salary amount of $77,500 also includes a �standard� benefits package and will remain unchanged for at least the first six months. Phillips will also be entitled to use of a county vehicle for official business, she said.

Two other finalists had been under consideration to fill the post vacated in early May by Bill Sawyer. Those were Darrell Hampton of Jefferson, GA, and Raymon Gibson of McDonough.
