February 7, 2022
The Randolph County Board of Commissioners met in regular session at 6:00 p.m. in the 1909
Randolph County Historic Courthouse Meeting Room, 145 Worth Street, Asheboro, NC.
Chairman Darrell Frye, Vice-Chairman David Allen, Commissioner Kenny Kidd, Commissioner
Maxton McDowell, and Commissioner Hope Haywood were present. Also present were County
Manager Hal Johnson, Assistant County Manager/Finance Officer Will Massie, County Attorney
Ben Morgan, Deputy Clerk to the Board Sarah Pack, and Clerk to the Board Dana Crisco. Chaplain
Michael Mabe from the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office gave the invocation and everyone
recited the Pledge of Allegiance. The meeting was livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube.
Public Comment Period
Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 153A-52.1, Chairman Frye opened the floor for public comment and
closed it after everyone wishing to speak had done so. County Attorney Ben Morgan read aloud
the Public Comment Rules of Procedure.
Bob Morrison, 1735 Viewmont Ct., Asheboro, urged the Board to remove the Confederate
statue in front of the Courthouse. The cause of the Confederates should not be honored today.
Virginia Wall, 348 Lindley Ave., Asheboro, wants the Confederate statue moved. She feels
like it is a racist symbol.
Dwain Roberts, 465 Rainbow Trl., Ramseur, read a Resolution from the North Carolina
Division of the Sons of the Confederacy. He wants the statue to remain where it is.
Kevin Price, 1819 Old Cedar Falls Rd., Asheboro, wants liberty and justice for all. He believes
only the white citizens of Randolph County get liberty and justice. He wants the statue to be
moved.
Clyde Foust, Jr., 3746 Midway Acres Rd., Asheboro, wants everyone to work together and
believes that Randolph County will come to a consensus. He does not want to see a reminder of a
war to continue slavery.
Chairman Frye said that there would be a vote by the Board on the issue of the statue.

Voluntary Agricultural District Update
2/7/22
Dr. Kenny Sherin, Cooperative Extension Director said in 2022, the Voluntary Agricultural
District Board (VAD) admitted farms into the program totaling 101.41 acres of land. As a result,
Randolph County now has over 26,049.41 acres of land enrolled in the program. Of this, 33 parcels
are enrolled in the Enhanced VAD with 1903.92 acres and 517 parcels with 24,145.49 acres
enrolled in the Regular Voluntary Agriculture District.
In 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted so many parts of daily life. However, in
Randolph County the one thing the pandemic did not impact is timely rains on agricultural crops.
Corn yields in Randolph County were spectacular this year being above the state average.
Soybeans yields will likely be close to record-breaking as well, with prediction being around an
average of 40 bushels per acre across the state. Also, Annie Mills, Horticulture Extension Agent,
has worked hard to build capacity in Randolph County Farmer’s Markets. A strong local food
system increases food resilience, which has been important during the supply chain interruptions
caused by the pandemic.
Dr. Sherin thanked the Commissioners for their continued support, for their recognition of the
value of agriculture and agribusiness, and for the signs provided for the program. He also thanked
the volunteer Board of Directors of the Voluntary Agricultural District for their continued work
and commitment. This has been a popular program with the farmers in the county. The VAD
Board members are also grateful for the Commissioners’ support for the Farm, Food, and Family
Education Center. The Center will help create a bright future for the agricultural sector in
Randolph County.
Commissioner Allen said the VAD is for both farmers and the community. The signs let the
community know that a working farm is on the property along with the associated noise and smells.
It also has other benefits for the farmer.
Consider Budget Amendment for State Budget Allocations
Chairman Frye thanked Allen McNeill for getting money for the Agriculture Center.
Will Massie, Assistant County Manager/Finance Officer, said Randolph County will receive
State Capital and Infrastructure Fund (SCIF) Directed Grants that were included in the 2021-23
Biennium State Budget. Randolph County was allocated $400,000 for general capital needs and
$16 million for the Farm, Food and Family (FFF) Education Center. The $400,000 could be added
to the FFF Education Center project if the Board wishes. There are specific reporting and
compliance requirements with these allocations.
The State will prepare contracts for these funds, which should be available soon. The state
budget requires the funds to be distributed by the end of February.
Mr. Massie asked that the Board 1) accept these SCIF grants, 2) authorize the Chairman to sign
the grant contracts, and 3) approve the associated budget amendment to the Agricultural Center
Capital Project Fund.
On motion of Allen, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted 5-0 to 1) accept the SCIF grants,
2) authorize the Chairman to sign the grant contracts, and 3) approve the associated budget
2/7/22
amendment in the amount of $16,400,000 to the Agricultural Center Capital Project Fund, as
follows:
Agricultural Center Project Ordinance
Amendment #2
Revenues Increase Decrease
Restricted Intergovernmental $16,400,000
Appropriations Increase Decrease
Professional Services $100,000
Construction $16,300,000
Consider Architectural Service Contract for Farm, Food, and Family Education Center
Mr. Massie said the need for a county agricultural center was identified in the 2016 Strategic
Plan. The facility envisioned in the original 2018 scope of the Agricultural Center project would
have created space for large scale events, ones that would increase tourism as well as development
of business opportunities for the local agricultural community. This project lost support when the
anticipated cost became too expensive.
Based upon the proposal developed by the Randolph County Cooperative Extension Office in
June 2021, the current proposal for a county agricultural facility has more of an education focus.
While the scope of the new project has not yet been decided, it would likely still have office space
for the Cooperative Extension and Soil & Water Conservation departments. This provides a
central location for services that the agricultural community needs to enhance its business
development. Instead of a major event center and separate arena area, this revised project would
have a large covered open air demonstration area. Additional educational opportunities could
include demonstration gardens, orchards, and an incubator farm with outdoor equipment storage.
As a result of the $16 million Directed Grant allocation by the State of NC, the agricultural
center project could resume as described in the Cooperative Extension proposal. An advisory
committee will help determine the practical scope of the project, limiting it to essential county
needs.
In 2017, HH Architecture was selected as the consultant through a required qualification
process. Based on their experience with the previous project, it is recommended that a new
contract be awarded to initiate the new master conceptual plan for the Farm, Food and Family
project. Some of the data, testing, and design from the first phase may be utilized with the new
project.
Commissioner Allen said the project has been reduced in size. A few changes to the original
proposal can be made.
On motion of Allen, seconded by McDowell, the Board voted 5-0 to approve the contract with
HH Architecture and authorize the County Manager to sign the contract.
Child Fatality Prevention/Community Child Protection Team Annual Report
2/7/22
Tara Aker, Public Health Director, said in accordance with NCGS 143-576.1(a)(2), the
following is the annual report to the County Commissioners of recommendations for systems
improvements that may prevent child fatalities in Randolph County.
Child deaths from calendar year 2020 were reviewed by the Child Fatality Prevention Team
(CFPT). The CFPT met virtually three times during calendar year 2021. Notification was received
in December 2021 that the 2020 fourth quarter child fatality reviews would be delayed. The fourth
quarter 2020 Child Fatality Reviews were received in January 2022. The CFPT met on January
11, 2022 to review the 2020 fourth quarter child fatalities.
There were 23 child deaths reviewed from the previous year (2020).
Causes of death were:
Accidents 3
Birth defects 2
Illnesses 5
Perinatal Condition 6
Other 4
Suicide 3
Total 23
The purpose of the Child Fatality Prevention Team is to review the deaths of all Randolph
County children. The review is to determine if system problems exist that contributed in any way
to the delay of or lack of services that might have prevented the death. If gaps exist, the team
works to improve/add services that will prevent problems for families in the future.
The Team made the following recommendations:
No gaps were identified.
The Team requested and received education on safe sleep practices and car seat safety.
The Team will seek and obtain suicide prevention in children education in 2022.
The Team will continue to address unsafe sleep conditions by making Pack’n Play portable
cribs available along with safe sleep education through the Books for Babies Program in
partnership with the Randolph Partnership for Children and Randolph Health.
Commissioner McDowell asked about the three suicides. Tracie Murphy, Social Services
Director, said suicide has increased everywhere. The COVID-19 Pandemic and the isolation it has
caused as well as the opioid problem may have contributed to the suicide number.
Commissioner Kidd questioned where opioid overdoses would fall. Ms. Aker responded that
would be categorized as illness or other. There were not any of those identified in this data.
Tracie Murphy, Social Services Director, said in accordance with NCGS 143-576.1(a)(2), the
following is the annual report to the County Commissioners of recommendations for systemic
improvements in Randolph County.
2/7/22
The Community Child Protection Team (CCPT) met virtually 6 times during this year (January
1, 2021– December 31, 2021). The Team reviewed 10 current cases of children under the
protection of Social Services (DSS).
Areas of concern were:
Substance Abuse 4
Adult Mental Health Issues 2
Adolescence Mental Health Issues 3
Improper Discipline 1
Injurious Environment 3
Physical Abuse 2
Emotional Abuse 1
Improper Care 1
Domestic Violence 2
The purpose of the CCPT is to identify systemic deficiencies in child welfare services or
resources. Once identified, the team develops strategies to address the gaps in the child welfare
system within the County. The CCPT reviewed cases during the past year (January 2021-
December 2021). The following gaps and recommendations were identified:
Increased incidence of child deaths related to co-sleeping: CCPT had a training on safe
sleep Tuesday, June 8, 2021 presented by the Randolph County Public Health Department
Mental Health services for low-income families: CCPT recommended looking into more
intensive in-home preservation providers
Increase public awareness about conditions that impact child protection within the
community: CCPT recommended continuous community education with law enforcement,
school systems, daycare centers, all medical professions, mental health facilities, and
churches
Action steps taken by DSS
DSS held a training on Safe Sleep to educate all Child Protective Services employees
on the dangers of parents co-sleeping with their children.
To increase awareness and open communication between DSS and community
partners, DSS was able to take part in the Asheboro Police Department’s In-Service
Training educating them on CPS reports, new policies, and procedures.
To continue open and clear communication between DSS and 911 communications,
DSS continues to use 911 communication’s scheduling calendar. DSS keeps 911
communications aware of afterhours CPS Supervisors with their contact information
so that someone is readily available to respond at all times.
DSS met with the Randolph County and Asheboro City Schools keeping them abreast
of all new policies and procedures.
DSS met with Randolph Health doctors and nurses educating them on how and when
to make CPS reports including those where substances were found that affected infants.
2/7/22
DSS met with Randolph County Partnership for Children, daycare center directors, and
Head Start employees to review policies and procedures, identifying signs educating
them on how to make reports, and signs to look for.
Each entity was given informational handouts and flyers on how to report abuse,
neglect, and dependency.
Were there any intensive death reviews during this reporting period?
The State Division of Social Services conducted two Intensive Fatality Reviews during this
reporting period.
TDA Annual Report and Update
Amber Scarlett, Tourism Development Authority (TDA) Executive Director, said that in
reviewing the past year, it is important to restate the mission – to unify and lead the County in
developing the Heart of North Carolina as a family-friendly, affordable, and strategically located
destination serving the leisure and business travel, group tour, meetings, and sports and
recreational tournament markets. The TDA remain dedicated to making tourism work harder to
positively impact the economy and the livelihood of Randolph County citizens who work in and
benefit from tourism. The most important measures of success are those that highlight the
combined effort between the TDA, and the tourism destination partners and stakeholders. The
organizations were able to come together in 2020 with an unprecedented level of dedication and
determination for the organizations’ mission.
The intended purpose of an annual report is to provide accountability by looking back at the
progress achieved and this report delivers a glimpse of the challenging work accomplished. A
quick snapshot indicates the true, realistic devastation the COVID-19 pandemic had on the tourism
industry and Randolph County. There was a decrease of 35.5% in visitor spending our occupancy
tax revenues suffered a decline of 44.25%.
The Randolph County Tourism Development Authority Annual Report includes details on the
TDA’s challenges and successes in 2020. The TDA continues to work daily to set new strategic
benchmarks for future tourism marketing wins.
Tourism matters, in our nation, our state, our region, and in our county.
Deep River Trails Organization
Mary Joan Pugh, Randolph County Trail/Natural Heritage Coordinator, said that the Deep
River State Trail (DRST) was designated in 2007 as one of North Carolina’s first State Trails. A
non-profit was never involved, as the Randolph County Tourism Development Authority (TDA)
requested the designation to develop the corridor as a tourism destination. From the beginning,
each of the three municipalities; Randleman, Franklinville, and Ramseur; were on their own to
make application and administer grants, purchase land/easements, and complete trail construction.
In 2015, when the TDA realized the efforts of the municipalities needed coordination, their Board
created the Deep River Trail Task Force (DRTTF). After a feasibility study for the 15-mile
corridor in Randolph County was completed in 2016, the TDA contracted with Piedmont Triad
Regional Council to put together a Conceptual Plan which was completed in 2017. The County
2/7/22
Board of Commissioners adopted the Plan and provided funding for the preliminary engineering
for the Sandy Creek Bridge, the Plan’s first priority in 2017.
In 2019, the DRTTF was folded into the County Trails Advisory Council and the volunteer
Randolph County Trail Coordinator began working with Randleman, Franklinville, Ramseur, and
Asheboro on implementing the Conceptual Plan. The major hurdle faced by municipalities was
with cash flow issues, as grants are on a reimbursement basis. Randolph County stepped in to both
apply for and administer grant funds on behalf of the municipalities including the Deep River State
Trail Paddleway from Worthville to Central Falls and Randleman Deep River Trail Phase III. The
municipalities continued to pay the 25% match. In addition, the County provided County Strategic
Plan Implementation Funds for the Sandy Creek Bridge construction and, most recently,
committed to provide $1 mil in American Rescue Funds (ARP) funds for various investment-ready
projects.
With twelve State Trails, State Trails/State Parks is formalizing State Trail designation by
requiring a Master Plan and a Memorandum of Understanding with the non-profit organization
associated with each State Trail. The DRST involves five counties starting in Jamestown and
extending to Lee County where it joins the Haw River. Of these five counties, only Randolph
County has a Conceptual Plan and actual trail system for its portion. Unlike other State Trails such
as the Dan River Basin Association in Rockingham County, Fonta Flora Trail Association in
Burke, and McDowell and Yadkin RiverKeepers, DRST has no non-profit associated with it. Since
the Piedmont Land Conservancy (PLC) has already assisted municipalities in Randolph County
with several projects, Smith Raynor, State Trails Planner asked PLC if they would sign a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the portion of DRST in Randolph County.
The MOU has become necessary because each State Trail through its MOU organization will
receive a $50,000 grant to be used in Capacity Building, and an allocation of the $29.25 million
from the State’s Complete the Trail Fund (CTF). Since the DRST has neither a non-profit manager
nor an official trail coordinator, PLC has agreed to receive the funds on behalf of Randolph County.
They will not complete trail projects on their own, but will facilitate the trail work of the County
and the municipalities. The responsibilities of the PLC will be as follows:
• Distribution of Complete the Trail Fund monies.
• Accountability for expenditures.
• Requesting reimbursement.
• Providing technical assistance and support.
The Piedmont Land Conservancy needs someone in an official capacity to coordinate the CTF
projects. Since the County has been working with the DRST municipalities on trail projects for
the last three years via the volunteer Trail Coordinator position, the best option is to make this a
paid position. The PLC would give the County the proposed $20,000 per year for the two years of
the capacity building grant to fund the position. This will formalize the County’s role of
coordinating with the DRST municipalities and give the County more control over the funds it has
invested in the DRST. In addition, it would be advantageous to reconstitute the Deep River Trail
Task Force as the Deep River State Trail Steering Committee with representatives from each
2/7/22
municipality and the County to coordinate efforts, set priorities, and advocate for additional trail
funds/grants.
Chairman Frye asked what the timeline was to get the funding. Ms. Pugh was not sure. There
is an upcoming meeting to decide that.
Commissioner Haywood mentioned the $20,000 for two years for the Trail Coordinator
position. She wanted the citizens to know that Ms. Pugh has been working for free for quite a few
years.
On motion of Haywood, seconded by Allen, the Board voted 5-0 to accept $20,000 per year for
two years from the Piedmont Land Conservancy to fund a part-time temporary non-benefitted
Trails Coordinator position.
Kraftsman Expansion Project Update and Building Reuse Grant Request
Kevin Franklin, Economic Development Corporation (EDC) President, said Kraftsman Inc.
was established in Ramseur, NC in 2000 and currently employs 66 full-time personnel between its
manufacturing plants in Ramseur and Albemarle. Kraftsman Inc. (Kraftsman Trailers) is a
manufacturer and direct-seller of open trailers, from single-axle utility trailers to flatbed equipment
trailers to 3-axle heavy equipment trailers, and several other types in-between those sizes and
hauling capabilities.
Kraftsman plans to expand its Ramseur plant, located at 10051 US Hwy 64 E, by doubling the
area housing its trailer painting and paint preparation area, along with associated capital upgrades.
The expansion will allow the plant to produce more total trailers since the welding/fabrication
production capabilities currently exceed its painting capacity.
The company will create a minimum of 20 new full-time jobs across the company, both in its
Ramseur plant and in support roles out of the Albemarle facility. The average annual wage of these
positions will be $45,000, exceeding the current Randolph County private sector annual wage of
$40,522.
Kraftsman is eligible for a Building Reuse Grant from NC Commerce in the amount of
$140,000 to assist with expansion expenses. Because the company facility is located in an
unincorporated area of the county, Randolph County would serve as the grant applicant. The
program no longer requires a local government match. The targeted submission deadline for the
grant application is February 24, with award announcements scheduled for April 21.
The EDC believes that the Kraftsman expansion project is a good economic development
project for the county, increasing the value of the building and resulting in the creation of 20 new
jobs across the company. Therefore, the EDC requests that Board of Commissioners approve a
resolution authorizing submission of a Building Reuse Grant application to NC Commerce in the
amount of $140,000.
Public Hearing
2/7/22
At 7:31 p.m., Chairman Frye Opened the Public Hearing and closed it after everyone had a
chance to speak.
Paul Kaufman, owner of Kraftsman, Inc., 10051 US Hwy 64 E, Ramseur, said that the
company has been successful. He noted the unpainted trailers outside the facility. This expansion
will decrease the waiting times for painting.
On motion of Allen, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted 5-0 to approve a Resolution
Authorizing the County of Randolph to Apply for a Building Reuse Grant for the Kraftsman Inc.
Economic Development Project, as follows:
