The Randolph County Board of Commissioners met on Tuesday, June 15, 1982, at
3:30 P.M. in the Commissioner's Meeting Room at 145 Worth Street, Asheboro,
North Carolina. Present were: Richard K. Pugh, Chairman, Thurman Hogan,
Richard Petty, Kenyon Davidson, and Bill Boyd.
The meeting was called to order by Richard K. Pugh, Chairman.
Opening remarks to the Board of Commissioners for the Randolph County Schools
were made by Don Osborne, Chairman of the Randolph County School Board. Mr.
Osborne extended his appreciation for the cooperation and assistance from the
County Manager and Finance Officer in preparation of the budget.
Superintendent of Randolph County Schools, John Lawrence, presented the Randolph
County Schools proposal to the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Lawrence also expressed
his appreciation for the help from the County Manager and Finance Officer. Mr.
Lawrence stated that they had requested $2,568,878 for current expenses and
$2,488,492 was recommended. This reduction is primarily due to the removal of
the 5% proposed pay raises. Mr. Lawrence also stated that they had requested
$406,000 for capital outlay and $300,000 had been recommended. This $300,000
was the same figure as last year's for capital outlay.

Commissioners and other members of the Randolph County School Board.
On motion of Thurman Hogan, seconded by Richard Petty, it was unanimously approved
that the proceeds from a "Rock-a-Thon" be used to enclose a porch for an activity
room at the Randolph Rest Home if approved by the County Manager, the Randolph
County Building Inspector, and the State Inspector.
On motion of Thurman Hogan, seconded by Kenyon Davidson, it was unanimously
approved that Randolph County would provide The Honorable Russell G. Walker, Jr.
with an office in the Auman House. Bob Crumley reported to the Board of Commissioners
that an office in the Auman House currently being used as office and storage by the
Court Reporter could be relocated elsewhere. Richard Pugh suggested that possibly
one of the offices on third floor could be used as storage. Mr. Crumley was asked
to check on the available space and notify Mr. Walker of the Board's decision.
Bob Crumley reported to the Board of Commissioners that the North Carolina Association
of County Commissioners Annual Conference would be held August 12-15, 1982 in Raleigh
and any resolutions that needed to be discussed at the conference would need to be
submitted by July 15, 1982. Also, anyone planning to attend the Annual Conference
would need to notify the County Manager sometime within the next few days.
