EDC Annual Funding
Will Massie, Finance Officer, said Randolph County proposed to appropriate and expend
County funds for economic development pursuant to Section 158-7.1 of the North Carolina
General Statutes. The County intended appropriating Three Hundred Thirty -Four Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars ($334,500.00) to the Randolph County Economic Development Corporation
(EDC) to fund the EDC's mission of recruiting and retaining businesses to and in Randolph
County. This amount includes funds for the operation of the EDC and for marketing and
promotion of Randolph County. If approved, the County will fund this appropriation with
available revenues set aside for this purpose in its FY2019-2020 Budget. The Board of County
Commissioners believes this project will stimulate and stabilize the local economy and result in
the creation of new, permanent jobs in the County.
Chairman Frye opened the Public Hearing at 6:31 p.m. and closed it after hearing no comments.
On motion ofKidd, seconded by McDowell, the Board voted unanimously to approve the annual
appropriation of $334, 500 in the FY2019-20 Budget for the EDC.
Historic Landmark Preservation Commission (HLPC) Matters
Mac Whatley, Chairman of the HLPC, gave the HLPC Annual Report to the Board. He said
the HLPC started FY2018-2019 with its first Local Historic Landmark Designation since 2014,
and ended it with a recommendation for another. There are now 21 Historic Landmarks with one
pending, and 22 Cultural Heritage Sites.
He stated that the first landmark designation this year was the 1839 Asheboro Female Academy.
The Commission met on June 27, 2018, to recommend the Female Academy to the Asheboro City
Council for designation; the City Council approved the designation on July 14, 2018. From the
summary of the Landmark Designation Report, as follows:
"The Asheboro Female Academy, opened in 1839 to offer formal education for girls
in the region, is the oldest standing structure in Asheboro. Established in conjunction
with a later male academy to address a dearth ofeducational opportunity in Randolph
County, the school was organized and funded by prominent members of the community,
7/8/19
notably among them attorney and future North Carolina Governor Jonathan Worth. It
was located on the southwest corner ofpresent-day Salisbury and Fayetteville streets.
The Asheboro Male Academy opened nearby in 1842.
"The Female Academy provided girls with a more expansive education than was
generally available to young women in the era. Subjects taught included spelling,
reading, grammar, geography, arithmetic, philosophy, rhetoric, needlework and
music. Enrollment grew until the Civil War, when the both the female and male
academies closed and served as a barracks for soldiers. Revived after the war, the
academies operated under combined leadership. They remained the primary providers
offormal education in Asheboro until the end of the 19th century, when the community
recognized the need for public schools. The academies' trustees then helped lay the
groundwork for the transition from private to public education.
"After the Female Academy was closed, the property was acquired by W..J ArmfieId
Jr., founder of the Bank of Randolph. The Female Academy building was used for
storage and later converted to living quarters for servants. After Armfield's death in
1968, the building was given to the Randolph County Historical Society and moved to
its present location at 1126 S. Park Street on property owned by the Asheboro City
Schools. A restoration effort took place in the early 1970s that, while giving a sense of
the original building and its purpose, was not historically accurate. The work, however,
was sufficient to preserve the structure until a recent initiative underwritten by Trees
NC, an Asheboro -based environmental organization, could restore the building to its
original historical state for use as an interpretative historical experience for students
and other community members. With work on the new restoration underway, the
Female Academy was designated as a Local Cultural Heritage Site by the Randolph
County Historic Landmark Preservation Commission on January 26, 2016. The
exterior restoration is now complete.
"Although the Female Academy does not sit on its original site, the painstaking and
well -researched restoration by Trees NC has returned it to its original appearance and
documented its high level oforiginality. The building is worthy oflandmark designation
because it symbolizes the early stages of private education for girls in the region;
because it represent an effort to educate girls beyond simply basic skills and the
domestic arts; because it is Asheboro's oldest standing structure; because of the
involvement of prominent local leaders; because of its architectural integrity; and
because of its status as a bridge between an era of little formal schooling and the advent
ofpublic education in Asheboro. It also stands as a testament to the commitment of the
community, in different eras, to preserve and restore an important part ofAsheboro's
history.
"While the recently -undertaken restoration includes both the exterior and the
interior of the Female Academy with some adjustments to the interior to make it
habitable for interpretive educational use, the scope of this proposed landmark
designation includes the exterior of the building only. "
7/8/19
Mr. Whatley said the Commission met on June 26, 2019, and voted to recommend landmark
designation for the 1785-1800 William Coltrane House in New Market Township near the Guilford
County line. This site is in the jurisdiction of Randolph County, so the recommendation will be
forwarded to the Randolph County Board of Commissioners for final action. The house is the
homestead established by the patriarch of the Coltrane family, and is Randolph County's oldest
frame dwelling. From the summary of the Landmark Designation Report:
"The William Coltrane House, built between 1785 and 1800, is the oldest known frame
house still standing in Randolph County; one ofonly two remaining dwellings from the
18th century; and the county's only example of high style architectural tastes in an
area that largely retained vernacular building traditions into the mid -19th Century.
The house, ofmortise-and-tenon construction, features a hall -and parlorplan with two
rooms on each floor heated by end chimneys. It is distinguished by the most significant
Georgian -style interior trim known in the area, which may have been installed by the
shop of Henry Macy, an important local cabinetmaker. Coltrane, a Scottish emigre,
was a prosperous farmer, one of the county's early leading citizens, and patriarch of a
prominentfamily that remained in the residence well into the 20th century. The Coltrane
house is being proposed for designation as a Randolph County Historic Landmark
because it is the county's only remaining example of a frame house from the 18th
century; because its architectural and design elements were unique to the area even in
its own period; because it uniquely represents the residence and lifestyle of a well-to-
do Piedmont, North Carolina, farmer in the late 18th and early 19th centuries; and
because of its association with Coltrane himself and several of his descendants, who
were significant to the county's history. Although the house contains many fine and
original interior features, this proposed designation covers only the exterior of the
house proper and no other elements of the property. "
Mr. Whatley mentioned that the HLPC meetings have been few and far between. Many worthy
properties deserve recognition, but the Commission must now meet with private property owners
who perceive both benefits and drawbacks to landmark designation. Moreover, the level of detail
now sought by the State Historic Preservation Office in landmark designation reports requires a
significant investment of time, copious research and a daunting level of expertise. Development
of the Female Academy and Coltrane House reports each took more than a year.
He said the Commission has continued its work and has continued preparing landmark
designation reports for several historically significant sites. One, in particular, is the Enos Blair
House, 1770-1780. Plans are being made to contact private owners of key properties that remain
undesignated. Still under consideration are ways to recognize multiple linked historical places,
such as sites in northeastern Randolph County associated with the colonial period and the War of
the Regulation.
Mr. Whatley requested that the Board set a Public Hearing for Local Landmark Designation of
the William Coltrane House and suggested August 5, 2019, at a meeting starting at 6:00 p.m.
On motion of Allen, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted unanimously to set a Public
Hearing for Local Landmark Designation of the William Coltrane House for August 5, 2019, at a
meeting starting at 6: 00 p.m.
7/8/19
Installation of Sheriffs Office Memorial Monument on County Property
Sheriff Seabolt said the Sheriffs Office is requesting permission to install a fallen officer
memorial monument outside of the Sheriff s Office to recognize those who have been lost in the
line of duty. No funding is being requested for the memorial.
He stated that Randolph County is one of a very few counties in North Carolina that do not
have this type of memorial. He said it would be installed near the flag pole by the Sheriff s Office
entrance.
On motion of Haywood, seconded by Kidd, the Board voted unanimously to approve the
installation of a Sheriff's Office Memorial Monument on County property.
Proiect Safe Neighborhoods Update
Rodney Trogdon, Project Safe Neighborhoods Coordinator, gave an update on the Project Safe
Neighborhoods program implemented in January 2019. He said that he and Andy Gregson,
District Attorney, had come up with six goals for the implementation process.
1. Obtain buy -in from all law enforcement in the county.
2. Establish a PSN Coordinator.
3. Identify and secure community assets for rehabilitation and re-entry solutions.
4. Train law enforcement in the requirements for cases against targeted individuals.
5. Establish a memorandum of understanding for the operation of the program.
6. Analyze the data to identify the individuals driving the county's violent crime.
Mr. Trogdon stated that he had started in the Coordinator position in January. He had spoken
to all law enforcement agencies by March and has met with some community partners. Those
partners include Christian United Outreach Center (CUOC), Kiwanis, NCWORKS, Future of
Workforce RCC, Archdale City Council, Asheboro City Council, and Liberty Town Counsel. He
will continue to meet municipal leaders and other organizations that fit with this program. He had
attended trainings to educate law enforcement about the program and its intended outcomes. In
late June, he conducted a two day meeting with shareholders to analyze the initial data collected.
A grant was also submitted in late June.

7/8/19
Jill Williams, Human Resources Director, presented the 2019-2020 Randolph County
Classification Plan to be effective July 1, 2019.
Pursuant to the Randolph County Employee Policies and Procedures Manual, and in order for
Randolph County to be in compliance with the Office of State Human Resources requirements for
filing the Pay Plan under G.S.126 provisions known as the State Human Resources Act, the
approval of the Board is required. Pay ranges for all portions of the Plan, except Tourism

In 2016, the Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC) initiated a comprehensive classification
and compensation study for Randolph County. Year Three of the three-year study was conducted
during the 2018-2019 fiscal year. Positions evaluated in Year Three included positions in Child
Support Services, Finance and finance -related positions across the County, Human Resources,
Information Technology and information technology -related positions across the County, Planning
& Zoning, Social Services and social work-related positions across the County, and Tax. The
purpose of the study has been to ensure that entry-level salaries are competitive with the market
and also to ensure internal and external equity among positions. As they did in the first two years
of the study, PTRC again facilitated orientation sessions, interviewed incumbents from each
classification, and conducted labor market analyses by collecting salary data from public
employers in the geographic proximity and of similar size on a statewide basis. Based on these
factors, the PTRC recommended the following classification changes for positions that were
reviewed in Year Three of the study:

Public Health Rebranding
Tara Aker, Assistant Public Health Director, said Randolph County Health Department has
been serving the community for over 90 years. To better align with the mission of public health,
the name and logo have been updated. She said, as of July 1st, the department is now Randolph
County Public Health. This name change reflects the priority to ensure the health and well-being
of the community as a whole. The new logo spotlights the programs and services provided in each
of the blocks. While the look has been updated, the mission to preserve, protect and improve the
health of the community continues to be the foundation of the work done at Randolph County
Public Health.

by encouraging people to avoid risky behaviors and make healthier choices. This is accomplished
through group and individual classes, health fairs, educational resources and implementation of
policy changes. Public Health assists in the Safe Kids initiative by working to protect children
from unintentional, preventable injuries. Education and awareness about poison prevention, fire

Medicaid Expansion Impacts
Tracie Murphy, Social Services Director, spoke of the potential impacts of Medicaid expansion
to not only the Social Services Department but also the County government. She said there will
possibly be 10,800 newly eligible participants. With those new beneficiaries, Social Services will
need additional staff. She estimated the cost of 28 Intake and Eligibility staff with salary and
benefits to be $1,283,448 of which the County will pay $410,732. The estimated cost of eight
Supervisors and Training staff with salary and benefits would be $485,468 with a cost of $291,280
to the County.
Commissioner McDowell stated that Medicaid expansion would cost the County government
money for more than just employees.
7/8/19
Chairman Frye mentioned that the cost to the County would be more than stated because the
employees would need office space, equipment, and supplies among other things.
Commissioner Allen asked about Medicaid Transformation. Ms. Murphy said her department
was trying to prepare as best they could but still needed more information.
Randolph County Schools Capital Proiect
Will Massie, Finance Officer, said the County has already established a capital project to
recognize the construction cost of the Trinity Middle School (TMS) project; the financing will
occur on July 10th. The current project ordinance was adopted with $35 million of debt proceeds.
The Randolph County Board of Education has received construction bids and would like to include
several alternates, resulting in a construction contract of $34,341,000. This would take the total
development cost up to $38,465,000. By increasing the financing up to the $37 million maximum,
and utilizing $416,000 from the County's advance already made, the project can be funded at this
level.
Mr. Massie asked the Board to approve the following budget amendment to the Randolph
County Schools Capital Project Ordinance to reflect anticipated project costs.
On motion of Allen, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted unanimously to approve the
Budget Amendment #4 for Randolph County Schools Capital Project, as follows:
Randolph County Schools Capital Project Ordinance
Budget Amendment #4
Revenues Increase Decrease
Debt Proceeds $2,000,000
Appropriations Increase Decrease
Construction $2,416,000
Contingency $416,000
Animal Services Advisory Board
Hal Johnson, County Manager, said the purpose of the new Animal Services Advisory Board
is to serve in an advisory capacity to the County Commissioners in matters relating to operations
and policies associated with the promotion and protection of animals through the soon to be
established Randolph County Department of Animal Services. The Board would also assist in the
planning of long range goals and objectives for Animal Services in Randolph County.
The membership of the Board would be composed of eleven (11) members and appointed by
the Board of County Commissioners. The Bylaws are designed to provide for countywide
representation including:
• At least one person from each of the five County Commissioner Districts;
• Chairman and Vice -Chairman of the Randolph County Commissioner;
• One veterinarian from the Randolph County community;
• At least two persons from the animal rescue volunteer community;
• One representative from the Randolph County Sheriff's Office; and
7/8/19
• The County Manager shall serve as ex officio member of the Board and shall ensure proper
administrative support for Board operations.
As discussed during the budget process, the creation of a separate Animal Services Department
will require that a transition from Public Health be conducted in phases. This phased transition is
critical to give time for administrative and operational adjustments with minimal disruption in the
continuity of animal services.
Changes will eventually need to be made to the Animal Control Ordinance concerning
dangerous dog declaration appeals. This authority will continue with the Board of Health Chair,
physician, veterinarian, and Health Director, until a new Director of Animal Services is employed.
It is anticipated that this authority would then be given to the Director of Animal Services and the
Animal Services Advisory Board to be established.
Chairman Frye stated that Mr. Johnson would bring this item back to the Board again in August
so that the Commissioners could be thinking of members and receive applications for the Animal
Services Advisory Board.
County Manager Update
County Manager Hal Johnson advised the Board that the new Trinity Convenience Site, located
on Kennedy Road, Trinity, would be opened on August 1 st. The site is owned by Randolph County
and staffed and operated by Waste Management. Mr. Johnson also reminded the Board of the
Special Meeting and closed session of the County Commissioners and Asheboro City Council at
the EMS Conference Room, July 9th, 7:00 pm. The closed session is for the purpose of discussing
competitive healthcare activities relative to Randolph Health. He said no action was anticipated.
Commissioner Updates
None of the commissioners had any updates.
Closed Session
At 7:58 p. m., Pursuant to NCGS 143-318.11(a)(4), on the motion of McDowell, seconded by
Kidd, the Board voted unanimously to go into closed session to discuss matters relating to the

including agreement on a tentative list of economic development incentives that may be offered by
the public body in negotiations.
Regular Session Resumed
At 8:50 p.m., the Board returned to regular session.
Adjournment
At 8:50 p.m. on motion of McDowell, seconded by Allen, the Board voted unanimously to
