A divided City Council determined Tuesday that the City of Statesboro need look no farther than city hall for a permanent solution to its vacant city manager position. With a 3-2 vote, Frank Parker, who had for eight months served in an interim role, was approved as Statesboro’s full-time city manager. Parker, who took the reigns when Shane Haynes was forced to resign in September 2010, was awarded by Mayor Joe Brannen and members of council the position effective immediately at an annual salary of $90,000 with no benefits.
