Alan Pierce decides to postpone his retirement

Alan Pierce has decided he is going to go to a few more county commission meetings after all.

Mister Pierce on Tuesday told the county commission that he would like to withdraw his proposed retirement.    

Mister Pierce has worked for Frankklin County for 24 years.

He announced his retirement last November saying he has a number of things he would like to accomplish in the hopes that his epitaph won’t read “ He went to a lot of meetings.”

Now, however, he says he has changed his mind and would like to keep working.

He told the board that there are very few times where his personal and private life collide but this was one of them.

Commissioner Cheryl Sanders pointed out that when he made the announcement she did ask him three times if he was sure of his decision.

She added that the next time he gets ready to go – he had better go.

Sanders was the only commissioner to vote against allowing Mister Pierce to continue working.

7 people had applied to take his job as Director of Admonsitrative Services.

Those interviews have now been canceled.
