Closed Session Î Personnel Ï November 7, 2022
At 8:17 p.m., with the Board already convened in closed session pursuant to NCGS 143-
318.11(a)(6) to consider the qualifications, competence, performance, character, fitness, or
conditions of appointment of personnel. Vice-Chairman David Allen, Commissioner Hope
Haywood, Commissioner Maxton McDowell, and Commissioner Kenny Kidd were present. Also
present from the County were County Manager Hal Johnson, County Attorney Ben Morgan, and
Clerk to the Board Dana Crisco.
County Manager Hal Johnson explained that these are the most challenging times in the history
of the County and that no Board of Commissioners or senior County staff have dealt with as many
long term, complex issues as now faced by the County Government and the Randolph County
community. Mr. Johnson asked for a consensus of the Board to begin recruitment of an additional
Assistant County Manager that would provide the added support needed to County Administration.
The consensus of the Commissioners was to begin this recruitment process.
Mr. Johnson also advised the Board that there were several critical existing positions throughout
the County that required pay reclassification to meet the post-pandemic current job market. Mr.
Johnson said he would like to contract with the Piedmont Triad Regional Council to perform a
position classification study on selected high impact positions within the County Government.
Information from the study can be used during the 2023-24 budget process.
Mr. Johnson also reminded the Board that during the 2022-23 budget process, there were
several requested departmental positions that had been delayed for budget approval due to
uncertainty at the time on the economy and the budget. Mr. Johnson said he would bring time
sensitive positions that had been requested for consideration by the Commissioners at their January
2023 meeting.
At 8:53 p.m., on motion by Haywood, seconded by Kidd, Closed Session ended and the Board
returned to Regular Session.
