Interlocal Agreement with the City of Asheboro
County Manager Zeb Holden stated that Randolph County continues to invest in projects that
improve access to public water and sewer systems and strengthen our municipal partner’s water
and sewer utilities. The Interlocal agreement under consideration is a significant step forward in
this regionalization effort.
The proposed Agreement memorializes a partnership and establishes responsibilities for
Randolph County and the City of Asheboro in two important areas. First, public water will be
connected to eastern Randolph County via new and upsized water lines. And second, public water
and sewer systems in the Seagrove area will be made significantly more sustainable with
infrastructure investments and management oversight.
Approval of this Agreement by the Randolph County Board of Commissioners and Asheboro
City Council signifies a unified effort to address known utility issues in our communities. Not
only will these projects protect our citizens, they will also ensure the capacity for growth in the
future.

with the City of Asheboro, as presented, contingent upon their approval.

County Commissioners approved the first round of Opioid Settlement Fund applications. These
applications provided funding for various opioid abatement strategies for three years, with the
anticipation of accepting new applications in 2026.
The Resolutions included in the packet enable the Board of County Commissioners to fund
eleven opioid abatement proposals, utilizing Randolph County opioid settlement funds. These
proposals come before the Board following an application process that involved review by a panel
of citizens who personally or professionally have experience in Opioid Use Disorder.
Chairman Frye confirmed that the organizations who get awarded would provide an audit and
that funding is on a reimbursement basis. Mr. Johnson agreed stating it was part of their contract.
Chairman Frye suggested that the applicants be approved in a block. He asked if anyone wanted
to remove any organizations for individual consideration.
