Also present were County Manager Hal Johnson, Assistant County Manager/Finance Officer Will Massie, County Attorney Ben Morgan, Deputy Clerk Sarah Pack, and Clerk to the Board Dana Crisco. The meeting was livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube. Chairman Frye said this has been a very difficult budget. Dealing with post-pandemic inflation, addressing issues with law enforcement needs, and responding to issues with recruiting and retention has been the focus of this budget. Chairman Frye explained what items would be discussed in this meeting. Chairman Frye explained new State requirements that say a commissioner cannot vote on appropriations for non-County boards they sit on. Approval of Budget Amendments for FY 2021-2022 Close-out Will Massie, Assistant County Manager/Finance Officer, reviewed the budget amendments presented to close out the fiscal year (FY) 2021-2022.

Randolph Electric Membership Corporation has agreed to a low-interest loan from the USDA of $4 million towards the Farm, Food, and Family Education Center. Approval of School and Fire District Tax Rates On motion of Frye, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted 4-0 to approve the Archdale- Trinity Supplemental Tax District at $.0922. On motion of Haywood, seconded by Allen, the Board voted 4-0 to approve the Asheboro City Schools Supplemental Tax District rate at $0.1439. Vice-Chairman Allen said he appreciated the Climax Fire Department being the first to step above the recently abolished 15 cent cap. He cautioned them that this tax rate is the highest in the County and the department should work to keep expenses down. On motion of Allen, seconded by McDowell, the Board voted 4-0 to set the Climax Fire Protection Service District Tax Rate at $.1763. Commissioner McDowell said Farmer runs its department efficiently with one of the lowest rates in the County and does a good job. On motion of McDowell, seconded by Frye, the Board voted 4-0 to set the Farmer Fire Protection Service District Tax Rate at $.1200. On motion of Allen, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted 4-0 to maintain the current fire district tax rates for Bennett, Coleridge, Eastside, Fairgrove, Franklinville, Guil-Rand, Julian, Level Cross, Northeast (Liberty), Randleman-Sophia, Seagrove, Southwest (New Hope), Staley, Tabernacle, Ulah, and Westside Fire Districts. Adoption of Departmental Fee Schedules 6/20/22 Chairman Frye asked Public Health Director Tara Aker if any Public Health fee changes are related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ms. Aker said an administrative fee has been added for giving vaccinations. Commissioner Haywood said StarMed is closing their vaccination locations. Ms. Aker said this is due to entering the recovery phase of the pandemic. Costs are increasing which is another contributing factor. Commissioner Haywood thanked staff at Public Health for their leadership during a challenging and uncertain time. Vice-Chairman Allen pointed out that several of the Public Health fees decreased. Ms. Aker said fees are compared to neighboring counties and providers. On motion of Haywood, seconded by Allen, the Board voted 4-0 to adopt the Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Ambulance, Planning and Zoning, and Public Health departmental fee schedules effective July 1, 2022, as presented. The Public Health fee schedule is listed as follows: HEALTH DEPARTMENT CLINIC FEES Manager's CPT Last Recommended Modifier Current Description Fee Change Revision Code for FY 2022-23 PROCEDURES 2016 $304.00 $250 11981 Insert Nexplanon 2016 $345.00 $250 11982 Remove Nexplanon 2016 $450.00 $400 11983 Nexplanon Insert & Removal 5/10/21 $160.00 54050 DESTRUCTION PENIS LESION(S) 5/10/21 $160.00 56501 TREATMENT OF CONDYLOMA 2016 $174.00 $150 58300 IUD IN 2016 $222.00 58301 IUD OUT $175 POSTPARTUM CARE ONLY SEPARATE 2017 $200.00 59430 PROCEDURE EVALUATION & MANAGEMENT 2016 $25.00 LU102 COMPLETION OF RECORD OF TB SCREEN 2016 $75.00 T1002 RN SERVICES UP TO 15 MINUTES 2016 $164.00 99202 New Expanded - 15-29 min. 2016 $210.00 99203 New Detailed - 30-44 min. 2016 $307.00 99204 New Comprehensive-45-59 min 2016 $386.00 99205 New Complex-60-74 min 7/13/20 $70.00 99211 Est.

On motion of Frye, seconded by McDowell, the Board voted 3-0 to allow Darrell Frye to recuse himself from voting on the RCEDC appropriation. Commissioner Haywood said the County gets a good return on their investment. Vice-Chairman Allen said this is a ten percent increase but other funding agencies have been asked to increase their appropriation amounts as well. On motion of Haywood, seconded by McDowell, the Board voted 3-0 to approve the RCEDC appropriation of $367,950. Vice-Chairman Allen asked to recuse himself for voting for funding for the Sandhills Center as he sits on the board. On motion of Allen, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted 3-0 to allow David Allen to recuse himself from voting on the Sandhills Center appropriation. Chairman Frye said he supports the work Sandhills Center does. Their request amount has not increased in many years. They are well managed. On motion of McDowell, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted 3-0 to approve the Sandhills Center appropriation of $844,000. Budget Discussion and Recommended Changes Chairman Frye said the Board has been working with County Administration to discuss proposed adjustments to the budget. Each commissioner has issues that are more important to them. Chairman Frye is very supportive of education. The Board would like to keep the ad valorum tax rate the same. He discussed several proposed changes, including funding for the Ramseur Library, Juvenile Day Reporting Center, position reclassifications, cost of living 6/20/22 increases and additional merit increases, increased funding for schools, and funding for community agencies. The total adjustment to the proposed budget adds up to $2,223,219. Vice-Chairman Allen said the appropriation for the Ramseur Library may not be timely in considering rising costs and inflation. In order to address recruitment and retention issues, compensation increases have to be made. He cautioned the Board that next year will likely be difficult to maintain the same tax rate because some of the increases are using various one-time funding sources. Departments are often frugal, but going forward if sales tax does not reach the projected amount and the economy trends downwards, it will be difficult to reach sales tax figures which is where a lot of this funding comes from. This is a year for funding a lot of necessary items, but it will be difficult to refrain from increasing taxes in future years if the economy does not grow. We have dealt with budgeting difficulties in the past, but Vice-Chairman Allen cautioned the Board that the County will need to be frugal. Chairman Frye said counties had been encouraged by the State to budget sales tax at a rate of 2.7%, but the County budgeted 5%. During the pandemic, the sales tax rate was at 14%. Our receipts were very good and money was able to be added to capital projects from this increased funding. Counties can now collect sales tax from online purchases; this amount is more difficult to estimate. County Administration and the Commissioners have worked hard to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. Thirty-three positions were requested; eighteen were funded. Adoption of FY 21-22 County Budget and Property Tax Rate On motion of Allen, seconded by McDowell, the Board voted 4-0 to adopt the FY 2022-2023 Budget Ordinance (which follows below) with the following changes; and includes setting the Ad Valorem Tax Rate at 63.27 cents per $100 valuation; and produces a budget of $156,815,509 for FY 2022-2023, as follows: RANDOLPH COUNTY Budget Ordinance Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Be It Ordained by the Board of Commissioners of Randolph County, North Carolina: Section 1.

Upon motion of Commissioner Allen, seconded by Commissioner McDowell, the foregoing Budget was passed with the following vote: Ayes: Commissioner David Allen Commissioner Darrell Frye Commissioner Hope Haywood Commissioner Maxton McDowell Noes: None I, Dana S. Crisco, Clerk to the Randolph County Board of Commissioners, do hereby certify that the foregoing Ordinance was duly adopted by the governing body of Randolph County at a special meeting on June 20, 2022, a quorum being present. The 20th day of June, 2022. Clerk to the Board Consideration of Strategic Planning Funding Requests use of the land for the landfill. He explained how these funds can be used. 6/20/22 On motion of McDowell, seconded by Frye, the Board voted 4-0 to approve the Shelter of Hope appropriation of $30,000 using Strategic Planning Funds. On motion of Haywood, seconded by Frye, the Board voted 4- appropriation of $95,000. McCrary Ballpark Chairman Frye explained the request from the City of Asheboro for funding for renovations at McCrary Park. Vice-Chairman Allen said he is concerned about the three-year commitment, especially with anticipated budget pressure next fiscal year. He would prefer to move around strategic planning funds rather than increase taxes if needed. The County is already funding Randolph Health; the county has to have a hospital and he said it would be nice to have allocations from other agencies going towards the hospital as well. Chairman Frye said the County is paying for the hospital for the next ten years; the City of Asheboro is not contributing any funding. The City of Asheboro also got American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. Commissioner McDowell said he enjoys visiting McCrary Park and there are wonderful programs available. He would like to see the County fund this request. Randolph County does benefit from having this venue available. Without this park, there is a possibility of losing programming. The facility needs to be improved in order to be able to host more and larger tournaments. Chairman Frye said the facility is in definite need of repair. Commissioner Haywood clarified that this request would be revisited next year and Chairman Frye said yes. Vice-Chairman Allen suggested Randolph County signage be present at the facility. On motion of McDowell, seconded by Frye, the Board voted 4-0 to approve the request of the City of Asheboro of $500,000 using Strategic Planning Funds. Commissioner Haywood said the county is very fortunate to have this resource available, backed by a faith-based group to get this program up and running. It is valuable to have government working with faith-based groups. This would be an excellent investment to have a shelter for families to avoid splitting them up in times of crisis. Commissioner Haywood said she was shocked by the number of homeless children in the county. This is a wonderful opportunity to get a much-needed program in the county. Commissioner McDowell said he agrees of facility is sorely needed. This is a great thing for the county. 6/20/22 the General Assembly. On motion of Haywood, seconded by McDowell, the Board voted 4-0 to approve the appropriation of $100,000 using Strategic Planning Funds. TogetherWorks Chairman Frye said the last request is another new and multi-year request. This program deals with foster children, as does Social Services. This is a pilot program, so there is no history available. It is not evidence-based. Chairman Frye said he would suggest this be a one-year funding agreement. This program did not receive any additional State monies. human services. The commitment was made to buy the land for the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite with no idea of what may come; it was an economic opportunity. This is an opportunity to gain expertise that we do not currently have in the field of family work. There are a large number of community agencies and departments in this proposal that are already funded by the County. These agencies have already given input into what is needed, which allows TogetherWorks to address these issues. The number of children in foster care has drastically increased; we are missing something. (parent organization of TogetherWorks) was looking for a home base for this program. She feels very strongly t Society for a successful program. Commissioner Haywood said if this program works, it will reduce the funding everywhere else. It is worth the commitment for three years; the program will just be started after year one. The first year, $40,000 will be contributed back to the community through various programs. In years two and three, $200,000 will be invested back into the community. This is a good return for the money. She does not want this situation to mirror the Education Lottery situation with the General Assembly. Commissioner Haywood said she would like for citizens to realize all of the projects and programs that are funded by the revenue from Waste Management. Commissioner Haywood made a motion to approve the TogetherWorks appropriation of $200,000 per year for 3 years using Strategic Planning Funds. There was no second and the motion died. Chairman Frye said this agency was unable to get funding from the General Assembly and they are telling the County things we already know from Social Services. They have not proven their ability to follow through with their proposal. Commissioner Haywood said a private funder committed funding, as did an anonymous family foundation. This agency does have additional funding sources. 6/20/22 Vice-Chairman Allen asked for the issue to be tabled until more information could be received. Denying the request will give a negative connotation. Commissioner McDowell asked where additional information would come from. Vice-Chairman Allen said an assessment has been completed and the results could clear up any confusion. On motion of McDowell, seconded by Frye, the Board voted 2-2 with Haywood and Allen opposing to deny the TogetherWorks appropriation of $200,000 per year for 3 years using Strategic Planning Funds. The motion died. Chairman Frye said there are many issues addressed in this budget. There are outside agencies funded through the budget. The strategic planning issues presented give the County the opportunity to be flexible with responding to requests. Adjournment At 7:12 p.m., on motion of Allen, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted 4-0 to adjourn. ________________________________ ________________________________ Darrell Frye, Chairman David Allen ________________________________ ________________________________ Kenny Kidd Maxton McDowell ________________________________ ________________________________ Hope Haywood Sarah Pack, Deputy Clerk to the Board 6/20/22
