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.
Isaac Hoffman, 6482 Old Post Office Rd., Thomasville, said he knows that Mr. Mendenhall
is a friend and sponsor of Chairman Frye and things that are said in private are told to TASC
members.
Chairman Frye responded to the comment by Mr. Hoffman that Mr. Mendenhall was not a
friend of Chairman Frye. He replied that Mr. Mendenhall is an acquaintance. He has not spoken
to him in 15 years.
Vice-Chairman Kidd asked that the accusations of campaign sponsors mentioned by Mr.
Hoffman be addressed. Chairman Frye said that he has only paid filing fees when running for
office. He does not have any campaign contributors.
Fritz Wang, 1482 Fuller Mill Rd. N, Thomasville, asked the Board to limit the noise from the
TASC Gun Range. He stated that the Board has done nothing to help the citizens living in their
area.
Amy Wang, 1482 Fuller Mill Rd. N, Thomasville, feels that the residents in her area are “black
sheep” of Randolph County. She does not feel that the Board has acknowledged their problem.
She spoke to Kim Heinzer, Interim Planning and Zoning Director, about permits and Ms. Heinzer
could not locate anything regarding permitting the gun range. Ms. Wang asked the Board to fix
the issues with the range.
7/7/25
Ed Lietz, 6758 Blue Quartz Rd., Thomasville, played a news story from his phone about the
disturbance made by shooting at the TASC Gun Range.
Topaz Bott, 1080 Anns Court, Asheboro, stated that Tannerite was used near his residence and
caused shelves to fall off the walls because of the blast. He asked the Board to have this stopped.
Larry Cahoon, 1058 Anns Court, Asheboro, said that someone has been allowed to fire
weapons outside the city limits. The neighbor had also used Tannerite. Mr. Cahoon asked that
someone speak with the individual setting off the explosions and firing weapons.
Lynn Small, 4807 Walker Mill Rd., Sophia, asked the Commissioners to repeal the 2 cent
increase of the Randleman Fire Department tax. He feels that the tax is not fair. The City of
Randleman should be giving the Fire Department money.

Enforcement Officers, as follows:
RESOLUTION REPEALING PREVIOUS POLICY AND ADOPTING
NEW POLICY ALLOWING THE PURCHASE OF SERVICE SIDE ARMS
BY RETIRING LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
WHEREAS, on or about June 7, 1999, the Randolph County Board of
Commissioners adopted a policy, effective retroactively to July 1, 1998,
allowing the purchase of service side arms by retiring law enforcement officers
of the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office who met certain criteria, one of which
was that the officer possessed a handgun permit; and
WHEREAS, since the passage of said policy, the State of North Carolina
has removed legal requirement that one possess a handgun permit and has
recodified the statute authorizing the Board of County Commissioners to adopt
the side arm purchase policy; and
7/7/25
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Randolph County Board of Commissioners
to allow the purchase of service side arms in accordance with the recodified
statute.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners
of Randolph County, this 7th day of July, 2025, as follows:
Section 1. The policy adopted on June 7, 1999 and made effective retroactively
to July 1, 1998 is hereby repealed.
Section 2. The policy attached hereto as Exhibit A is hereby adopted and
replaces the policy repealed in Section 1.
EXHIBIT A
POLICY ALLOWING RETIRING LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO
PURCHASE THEIR SERVICE SIDE ARMS
Pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 17F-20, a retiring sworn officer of the
Randolph County Sheriff's Office, that is retiring with the North Carolina State
Employees Retirement System under law enforcement retirement, or that
officer's surviving spouse, or child, may be awarded the officer’s service
weapon at a price determined by the governing body of the County. Randolph
County hereby adopts the following schedule:
5-9 years of service with Randolph County 75% of cost of weapon when
purchased 10-14 years of service with Randolph County 50% of cost of
weapon when purchased 15-19 years of service with Randolph County 25%
of cost of weapon when purchased 20+ years of service with Randolph County
$1.00
For cases in which an officer had more than one service weapon, the officer
would be awarded only one weapon. For cases in which officers served with
the Randolph County Sheriff's Office at different times, their length of service
would be determined by adding together the years of service from each
employment period. Service time with other agencies does not count towards
years of service for this purpose. Only service time as a sworn officer is
allowable. All applicable state/federal laws must be followed concerning the
transfer of firearms at the time of retirement. Furthermore, prior to the transfer
of a firearm pursuant to this policy, it must be determined that the person
requesting the service weapon is not ineligible to own, possess, or receive a
firearm under State or Federal law and it must be determined that the service
weapon has not been rendered incapable of being fired.
This policy repeals and replaces the previous policy adopted by the
Randolph County Board of Commissioners on June 7, 1999 (retroactively
effective July 1, 1998) and is adopted by resolution this the 7th day of July,
2025.

• 2024-2025 delinquent tax is $1,266,973.27. Total delinquent taxes for all years is
$3,160,008.59. These amounts include $95,127.63 due to bankruptcy.
• The Registered Motor Vehicle collection percentage was 99.44%. This percentage is for the

• The amount of discount given for early payment was $1,841,421.00. This represents 64.12%
of annual taxes paid during the discount period.

Vice-Chairman Kidd asked about advertising costs. Ms. Hill said that the Legislature has not
changed the statute on advertising Legal Ads in the newspaper.
Vice-Chairman Kidd asked about her comment regarding the Deputy Tax Assessor knocking
on doors with a Sheriff’s Deputy. He feels that could be viewed as very aggressive. Ms. Hill said
it is legal to knock on doors and it is to be fair and equitable to all citizens.
Commissioner Rivenbark asked if the expectation was to have them give a check at the door.
Ms. Hill stated that some people beat the Deputy Tax Assessor back to the office to pay. All
measures to collect the taxes have been exhausted before they start knocking on doors.
Vice-Chairman Kidd asked about Business Personal Property audits of farms. Ms. Hill said
that the Tax Department has used a third party at least since 2019 for Compliance Reviews.
Farming is a big business in Randolph County. She explained that these reviews get the listing
corrected. It is usually based on the IRS Depreciation Schedule.
Commissioner Rivenbark inquired about the third party going to farms to look for items to add
to their listing. Ms. Hill said the third party does the leg work and the Tax Department approves
their findings. Commissioner Rivenbark asked if this was a statutory requirement. Ms. Hill said
there are requirements in the statutes to ensure all tax payers pay their share.
Vice-Chairman Kidd stated that Moore County had a flat tax on chicken houses where
Randolph County has multiple taxes. Ms. Hill said she doesn’t know what Moore County’s
Schedule of Values is. Vice-Chairman Kidd stated that the taxes in Randolph County are higher
than Moore and put the farmers at a disadvantage. Ms. Hill stated that she treats farmers the same
as any other citizen; fair and equitably.
On motion of Frye, seconded by Allen, the Board voted 5-0 to 1) approve the Tax Settlement
for FY 2024-25 and 2) charge Debra Hill to collect the FY 2025-26 taxes.
2025-2026 Classification Plan
Jill Williams, Human Resources Director, requested your approval of the 2025-2026 Randolph
County Classification Plan to be effective July 1, 2025. Approval by the Board is required pursuant
to the Randolph County Employee Policies and Procedures Manual and in order for the County to
be in compliance with the Office of State Human Resources requirements for filing our Pay Plan
under G.S. 126 provisions known as the State Human Resources Act.
The Randolph County Classification Plan is made up of four (4) unique tables: Emergency
Services, General Employees, Law Enforcement, and Medical.
7/7/25
The Public Health Department is requesting to reclassify the Director of Nursing I (DON)
position to Coordinator of Health Services. Hiring and retaining a qualified Director of Nursing,
which requires nursing education and experience, has been challenging. The Coordinator of
Health Services requires pre-requisite education and experience to provide oversight and
performance management within the department, but this education and experience is not limited
to nursing. For this reclassification to occur, the job title of Coordinator of Health Services needs
to be added to the classification plan at Grade 126. Ms. Williams requested leaving the
classification of Public Health Director of Nursing I in the Classification Plan, should it be needed
in the future. She also requested reclassifying the Wellness Administrator position from Grade
123S to Grade 127S.
Prior to July 1, 2025, Strategic Planning Funds were used to fund the Community
Navigator/Social Worker and Community Navigator/Social Worker Lead positions. Effective July
1, 2025, these positions are included in the approved Randolph County Government Budget
through the Library and these position titles are now being added to the classification plan.
Outlined below are classifications that have been added, removed, or reclassified throughout
the previous fiscal year, along with those presented here.

Chief Donovan Davis said pursuant to G.S. 143-129 (e)(3), which authorizes the County’s
participation in a competitive group purchasing program, he requested approval to purchase four
(4) Ford F350 4x4 diesel Crestline ambulances through the Savvik contract pricing via the
competitive bidding program. Savvik is the same competitive bid used in July 2024.
Spartan Fire and Emergency Apparatus, out of Roebuck, SC, currently has four (4) ambulances
available for $1,360,140. ($340,035 each). It is the same price as the previous ambulances
purchased from Spartan. In the purchasing contract, they will guarantee delivery within three (3)
months. Since the PO for the two ambulances previously ordered from another company was
cancelled, there are carryover funds to cover the cost of two ambulances.

Contract with Staffing Services in 911 Communications
Deputy Chief Jared Byrd said due to a current 22% staff vacancy rate in the 9-1-1
Communications Center, in addition to 20% of current staff still in on-the-job training, it has
become necessary to consider a temporary staffing agency that can provide experienced 9-1-1
Telecommunicators to supplement daily staffing needs of the Center.
He stated that with carryover funding, he requested to carry-over $175,000 which would allow
Emergency Services to contract with 2 temporary telecommunicator contract employees for a 6-
month period.
Commissioner Allen asked if this was a temporary solution. Deputy Chief Byrd stated that it
was.
Vice-Chairman Kidd asked about how long it would take for these temporary workers to be up
to speed. Deputy Chief Byrd stated it would be a few weeks.
On motion of Haywood, seconded by Kidd, the Board voted 5-0 to 1) approve the carryover
request to contract with staffing services in 911 Communications, 2) approve the associated
Budget Amendment for $175,000, and 3) authorize the County Manager to sign any associated

product at the Center. Ms. Wright stated that the current draft would not allow it.
Commissioner Allen asked about liability insurance requirements. Ms. Wright stated that they
are required in the rental application.

the livestock events require major set up and take down. Ms. Wright stated that there will be
software to determine if set up and take down is possible and she will investigate additional fees
for large set up requests.
County Manager Zeb Holden asked if the Board will allow events such as gun and knife shows.
This is something that has been asked by some groups.
Chairman Frye stated he has been asked if the Center would hold high school graduations.
Agricultural Center Change Order
Paxton Arthurs, County Engineer, said that due to a computer glitch, the elevations at the
Agricultural Center site were incorrect in the engineering drawings. The error was not caught until
grading work began. This caused drainage issues and must be corrected. The parties involved
came to a consensus on how it would be corrected and who would be responsible for corresponding
costs. The County is being asked to pay $43,057 towards the cost. The remaining $212,824 will
be paid by the engineering firm.
He asked that the Commissioners accept the change order in the amount of $255,881, authorize
the County Manager to sign all corresponding documents, and approve the Project Amendment.
On motion of Allen, seconded by Rivenbark, the Board voted 5-0 to 1) approve the Change
