Annual Audit Presentation
April Adams, Partner at Cherry Bekaert LLC, presented and reviewed the County’s Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report for year ending June 30, 2022. Cherry-Bekaert issued an
unmodified opinion on the financial statements as well as a report on internal controls over
financial reporting and compliance on other matters with no findings.
Ms. Adams said the firm had also issued reports on federal and state compliance with the
Uniform Guidance and the State Single Audit Implementation Act for the major programs with
the following finding: 2022-01 – DSS Crosscutting – Nonmaterial noncompliance.
Federal Major Programs reviewed included Medicaid, Low Income Home Energy Assistance,
Coronavirus State & Local Recovery Funds (ARPA), and Epidemiology Funds. State Major
Programs reviewed include DSS Crosscutting, Public School Building Capital Fund (Lottery
Funds), and Juvenile Crime Prevention. No inappropriate accounting policies or practices were
noted.
Commissioner McDowell asked if the County was stable. Ms. Adams stated that Randolph
County Government would be here a year from now.
Chairman Frye indicated that the Piedmont Regional Water Authority had been given notice
that Cherry-Bekaert could no longer do their audit and asked if the County audit would be stopped.
Ms. Adams said no.
Commissioner Allen thanked Mr. Massie and his staff for doing such a great job. Mr. Massie
stated that all of the departments have pitched in to make the audit a success.
The Business Gym
Linda Brown, Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce President, thanked the Board for the
support given in 2022 that launched The Business Gym. This learning portal was developed as a
result of Randolph County’s 62.5% increase in new business start-ups during the COVID
pandemic.
The Chamber was given $50,000 from the Strategic Planning Funding. The Business Gym
directly aligns with the Well-Being Vision, and more specifically, Goal #1 that talks about
supporting existing industries and businesses.
1/3/23
Small business is Randolph County’s top employer. The training and materials provided
through The Business Gym are invaluable and FREE resources that are available to ALL Randolph
County businesses and to individuals interested in starting their own. Without the support from
Randolph County, this initiative would never have gone “live.”
Ms. Brown showed a PowerPoint presentation highlighting successes and the online traffic
experienced so far. A future goal is to build out a robust library of content so The Business Gym
can live on into the future without the need for ongoing support. To make that happen, she asked
the Board to consider approving a request for a second (and final) year of support in the amount
of $50,000. The funding would allow the completion of additional content to the library, including
the County Wellness content, and continue to have it available FREE to anyone and everyone in
Randolph County.
Chairman Frye asked about upkeep on The Business Gym. Ms. Brown said that there are
subscription fees annually.
Commissioner Allen questioned how long would this platform be viable. Ms. Brown estimated
that it would be useful for at least five years. Commissioner Allen wanted to see a broader range
of users from within the county. Ms. Brown said she agreed and wanted to speak to people in
areas that have used it less.
Chairman Frye asked if the City of Asheboro was participating in The Business Gym. Ms.
Brown said they fund other initiatives for the Chamber and she had not asked them to fund this
project.
Chairman Frye stated that Venture/Asheboro is on the agenda for the February meeting. The
grant Dr. Thill is speaking about when Commissioner Haywood and I met with him, overlaps with
The Business Gym goals.
Commissioner Haywood said the Board wanted all small businesses in the County to succeed
and thrive.
On motion by Kidd, seconded by McDowell, the Board voted 5-0 to table the request to fund
the Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce Business Gym until the February meeting.
Randolph Heritage Conservancy, Inc.
Mac Whatley, Randolph Heritage Conservancy, Inc. President, gave a history of the creation
of the North Carolina Textile Museum. He provided details of demolition and reconstruction that
had occurred.
Moving forward, the Textile Museum project will need $152,265 for design, an environmental
impact study, lighting and security work, plumbing and utility work, and roof demolition and
reconstruction. The above estimate addresses the following items:
1. Structural Masonry repairs (largely complete)
2. Roof repairs to the Cedar Falls mill (Completed in December 2022)
3. Architectural and Engineering studies by Hobbs Architects in Pittsboro
1/3/23
4. Permanent electrical service at Cedar Falls and Franklinville
5. Sprinkler service at Cedar Falls and Franklinville
Mr. Whatley said the Conservancy is currently involved in a variety of private fundraising
activities to address all remaining needs. They will be seeking at least $2 million from the next
legislature, with the goal of handing over the facility to the state Department of Natural and
Cultural Resources by the 2025-27 biennium.
Mr. Whatley asked the Board to consider funding the capital projects outlined in the amount of
$152,265.
Commissioner Allen said that funding by Randolph County would leverage more money from
the State.
Commissioner Kidd stated how important this museum would be to Franklinville and Randolph
County.
On motion of Allen, seconded by Kidd, the Board voted 5-0 to approve the request to fund the
Randolph Heritage Conservancy Museum Project in the amount of $152,265 and approve the

Sheriff’s Office Vehicles
1/3/23
Major Stephen Nunn said the Sheriff’s Office wishes to purchase three (3) 2023 Chrysler 300
Touring edition vehicles through the CSA Procurement Program. The North Carolina Sheriff’s
Association’s Procurement Program helps to eliminate duplication of effort through the creation
of one statewide bid that can be used by all 100 sheriff’s offices in North Carolina, as well as units
of local governments and political subdivisions including, but not limited to, county, local county
board of public instruction, municipalities and/or police agencies.
Ilderton Dodge was awarded the bid for the 2022-2023 fiscal year – 22-09-0913R.
He stated that the Sheriff’s Office also wishes to purchase six (6) 2023 Ford 150 pickup trucks
through the North Carolina Statewide Vehicle Contract.
The Division of Purchase and Contract governs procurement for State agencies, community
colleges, universities and some local government entities, ensuring that the State acquires the
goods and services it needs to operate at costs which are fair and effective uses of taxpayer dollars.
Performance Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram was awarded the bid under the North Carolina
Statewide Vehicle Contract #2021-00002.
The total purchase price for six (6) Ford F-150s and three (3) Chrysler 300s comes to $416,501.
Funding for these purchases were included in the Sheriff’s 2022-2023 budget. Major Nunn asked
that the Board approve the purchase.
Commissioner Allen confirmed that all vehicles will be fully equipped. Major Nunn said yes.
On motion of Kidd, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted 5-0 to approve the purchase of 6
Ford F-150s and 3 Chrysler 300s for the Sheriff’s Office in the amount of $416,501.
Sheriff’s Office Parking Lot Paving
Mr. Arthurs, County Engineer, said last year, the Sheriff’s Office reached out to look into
making some improvements to their Fleet Maintenance Garage parking lot. It has always been
gravel and has required regular maintenance. Additionally, there have been ongoing issues with
poor drainage and standing water. To correct these issues, a Request for Bids was sent out for
pricing to grade and pave this area and to provide for site drainage. The low bid received was
from Smith and Allen, LLC for $161,450. Not long after this, the project was postponed and the
contract was never presented for approval. Recently, the Sheriff’s Office was ready to proceed
with the work; however, Smith and Allen is no longer in business. Mr. Arthurs said from previous
discussions, he knew that the entire job was to be subbed out to DBM Construction. The owner,
Brian Moody, was contacted and a proposal for the paving and drainage work as well as an
additional 20-foot extension along the east side of the building was sent to him. Because the
project was no longer being marked up by another contractor, DBM proposed to do the work at
the same price as Smith and Allen, LLC. DBM Construction has been in business for many years
and has performed other asphalt paving work for the County.
Commissioner McDowell confirmed that the flooding issues would be corrected. Mr. Arthurs
said that was the purpose for the paving.
1/3/23
Commissioner Allen said he investigated the area for the lot. He noticed the lower lot had
standing water.
Commissioner Kidd commented that this would stop the problems that will continue to occur
until paving is done.
On motion of Allen, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted 5-0 to award a contract to DBM
Construction, LLC. in the amount of $161,450 for the paving of the Sheriff’s Office Fleet
Maintenance Garage parking lot and authorize the County Manager to sign the contract.
Duke Endowment Grant
Tara Akers, Public Health Director, said in 2021, the Duke Endowment approved a grant to
Randolph County in the amount of $375,000 to support the expansion of a comprehensive school
based oral health program. When the County applied for this grant, it was the intent of the Public
Health to use these funds and develop this program in-house. The Public Health dentist left and a
replacement was not found. At the December meeting, the partnership between Randolph County
Public Health and Kintegra Family Dentistry was explained. Kintegra assumes all responsibility
for the provision of dental services.
As part of this partnership, Kintegra will provide school based dental services. Since the County
is not providing these services directly, a subcontract of the Duke Endowment to Kintegra is
necessary. These funds are dedicated to the provision of the school based dental service program.
If they are not used for this purpose, the funds would need to be returned to the Duke Endowment.
Duke Endowment staff are aware of the County’s new relationship with Kintegra Family Dentistry
and have indicated that these funds may still be used in Randolph County if the County
subcontracts the grant agreement to Kintegra.
On motion of McDowell, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted 5-0 to approve the
subcontract of the Duke Endowment Grant funds to Kintegra Family Dentistry to be used for the
provision of school based oral health services in Randolph County and authorize the Chairman to
sign related documents.
County Growth Management Plan
st
County Manager Hal Johnson said, as Randolph County entered the 21 century, the public
process of accommodating new growth while preserving the county’s rural resources and natural
heritage became more difficult. As a result, in 2000, the Board of County Commissioners asked
that a Growth Management Plan be developed that would provide guidance as evaluations and
decisions were made on rezoning and growth-related issues. In 2002, the County Commissioners
adopted Randolph County’s first Growth Management Plan. This Plan prepared broad policy
statements that would, when combined with designated Growth Management Areas (Primary,
Secondary, and Rural Growth), form an overall growth management policy for Randolph County.
In 2009, high density residential subdivisions interspersed with rural industrial and commercial
development continued to impact the rural community and challenged Randolph County’s ability
to manage growth. As a result, the Board of Commissioners approved revisions to the Growth
1/3/23
Management Plan that provided flexibility to County boards and agencies enabling them to adapt
to the practical requirements often necessary for rural economic development. The Plan focused
on the physical growth and development of Randolph County but also addressed quality of life
issues such as the preservation of our heritage assets in an increasingly fragile rural environment.
The foundation of Randolph County’s Growth Management Plan is to recognize that
sustainable economic growth, environmental protection, and rural quality of life can be pursued
together as mutually supporting growth management and public policy goals. One does not
necessarily exclude the other.
The location and construction of Toyota Battery at the Greensboro/Randolph Megasite and the
pending development of the Chatham County Advanced Manufacturing (CAM) Site, will have
growth impacts on Randolph County never before envisioned. The availability of Federal/State
Recovery Funds strengthens the County’s ability to impact future infrastructure (water/sewer)
development. As a result, a comprehensive update of the existing Randolph County Growth
Management Plan should be implemented. The initial scope of the update should focus on the
northeast portion of Randolph County.
Mr. Johnson requested that the Board of Commissioners approve a Scope of Services contract
with the Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC) in the amount of $58,500. The duration of the
contract is anticipated from January 2023 until August 2023. The Scope of Services as outlined
in the contract include, as follows:
1. Report Development (economic factors, growth patterns/trends, jurisdictional plans,
review & update growth areas, growth impacts, mapping, policy & goals)
2. Public Involvement & Consensus Building
3. Committee Meetings
4. Public Meetings including Municipal Meetings
A Growth Management Plan Steering Committee and related Subcommittees, shall be
appointed by the County Manager.
Commissioner McDowell stated that the Growth Management Plan was essential to the rulings
of the Planning Board.
On motion of McDowell, seconded by Allen, the Board voted 5-0 to approve the contract with
the Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC) for updating the Randolph County Growth
Management Plan in the amount of $58,500 and approve the associated Budget Amendment, as
follows:
2022-2023 Budget Ordinance

Investment Income $58,500
4245,154
Appropriations Increase Decrease
Planning and Zoning $58,500

Classification Plan Updates
County Manager Hal Johnson said due to growth and development throughout the County and
increases in requests for services, departments are faced with the challenge of having sufficient
staff to provide critical services. Positive changes were made during the 2022 – 2023 budget
process to add a number of positions requested by departments. However, because there was
uncertainty about economic trends, it was not possible to approve all position requests.
While it is not possible to fund all of the position requests that were previously requested but
not approved during the budget process, Mr. Johnson asked the Board to consider several requests
for new positions, as well as position reclassifications, that will allow departments the ability to
provide necessary services more efficiently. Fortunately, investment income has been greater than
anticipated for the first half of the 2023 fiscal year and can cover the additional costs for the new
positions. The costs of reclassifications are being absorbed by existing departmental budgets.
The following positions are being added to the Classification Plan
Accounting Clerk Supervisor, Grade 115
Administration Paralegal, Grade 115
Assistant County Manager, Grade 131
Inspections Permitting Technician, Grade 114
Morgue Manager, Grade E214
JDRC Program Manager, Grade 120
Planning Information Specialist, Grade 117
Public Information Officer, Grade 123
Zoning Permitting Technician, Grade 114
Property Development Technician, Grade 114, is being removed.
The following are the reclassification requests:
Benefits Coordinator, Grade 117 to Assistant Human Resources Director, Grade 120
Media Communications Specialist, Grade 118 to Public Information Officer, Grade 123
Property Development Technician, Grade 114 to Planning Information Specialist, Grade

Deputy Sheriff Corporal, Grade 167 to Deputy Sheriff Lieutenant, Grade 171
Deputy Sheriff Sergeant, Grade 167 to Deputy Sheriff Detective Sergeant, Grade 168
Deputy Sheriff , Grade 164 to Deputy Sheriff Detective, Grade 167
Commissioner Allen stated that these additions and changes would make the 2023-24 budget
more challenging.
On motion of Allen, seconded by McDowell, the Board voted 5-0 to approve 1) the requested
new positions and position reclassifications, 2) the associated changes to the 2022 – 23 Randolph
County Classification Plan, and 3) the associated Budget Amendment in the amount of $355,307
