Pierce garnered 430 points, followed by Nathan Goodman of Blountstown with 347 and Don Hart with 270. A motion was made by Councilman James Griffin, seconded by Councilman Clifford Jackson and unanimously carried to offer the job to Pierce.
During the interview, Pierce told the Council he would accept the $55,000 salary if he was selected and could start within a week. He will be notified today of the firm job offer.
