Health Director: After considerable discussion it was the consensus

was unanimous in its opinion. The Board agreed not to release anything

resignation.

had previously told the Board of Health of an offer he had received
from the Cumberland County Health Department that would place him at
one above the minimum salary range.

Mayor Allsbrook made the motion that we offer Mr. Cranford the same as
the Cumberland County Health Department had offered him, but was under
the impression that he had been offered normal range instead of one above.

suggested that if Fayetteville had offered him one above we should be
prepared to go to one above. Mayor Allsbrook added this amendment to
his original motion. Motion carried unanimously.
