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.
Martha Montgomery, 2539 Beckerdite Rd., Sophia, stated that her property was landlocked.
She asked the Board for help to find a way to get in and out of her property because her neighbors
are not allowing her to use the easements on their property any longer.
Chairman Frye suggested that she keep trying to get legal assistance because the Board could
not force anyone to allow her an easement.
Commissioner Haywood stated she had been to the property and suggested that Ms.
Montgomery try to get access to the easement that crosses property used by multiple neighbors.
Alan Ferguson, 4794 Troy Smith Rd., Liberty, suggested to the Board that they try to obtain
some of the $900 million State Budget surplus to save the hospital. He urged the Commissioners
to reach out to citizens to contact Legislators to get some of that money.
1/6/20
Chairman Frye explained that originally the Bill was written with a 1/4 cent sales tax provision
that could have been the revenue stream to pay back the loan for the hospital. That was voted
down. He also stated that the Rural Health Care Stabilization program had started out as a grant
but turned into a loan.
Susie Scott, 516 W. Kivett St., Asheboro, questioned why there was a wreath with Confederate
flags on it at the foot of the Confederate Statue. She questioned if the County government had
placed it there, if this was the message the County wanted to portray to visitors, and stated that it
was not inclusive to veterans of other wars.
Beth Morris, 8025 Adams Farm Rd., Randleman, said she is in favor of the Sheriff's Fleet
Management Garage operation. She had spoken with Sheriff Seabolt and believed that the garage
would save taxpayer money.

Lawrence Industries Building Reuse Grant
Kevin Franklin, EDC President, said Lawrence Industries manufactures injection molded
window hardware and is the only component hardware manufacturer in the U.S. Locally owned
and operated, Lawrence Industries has been in operation for forty years and has been solely focused
on window hardware since 2004. Demand for domestically produced hardware has resulted in
significant growth with the company ending 2019 with 30% year -over -year growth.
Lawrence Industries plans to expand its facilities at 7246 Wright Road in Thomasville. This is
the sole company location. The expansion will add approximately 15,000 square feet to house the
company's mixing and material storage, freeing space in an existing production area to add 16
more machines. Estimated cost of the construction project is $675,000. An additional $2 million
will be invested in new machinery and equipment.
Lawrence Industries currently has 50 full-time employees and is committed to creating 29 net
new full-time jobs over an 18 -month period and retaining those positions for an additional six
months. The average wage of the new employees will be $39,207 which exceeds the current county
1/6/20
average wage of $36,622. The 29 new jobs will add $1,137,003 annually to the company's payroll.
Lawrence Industries also offers health insurance benefits.
NC Commerce has reviewed preliminary project information and has invited submission of a
full grant application requesting $230,000 for the project, or approximately $7,931 for each new
job.
Since Lawrence Industries is located in an unincorporated area of Randolph County, the County
would serve as the grant applicant. The grant requires a 5% local cash match of $11,500 for the
$230,000 grant request.
The grant application deadline is Thursday, January 9th. Grant award decisions will be
announced by the Rural Infrastructure Authority on February 20th.
The EDC considers this proposed expansion to be a quality economic development project for
Randolph County, adding taxable value to the property and creating 29 quality jobs. Mr. Franklin
requested approval of the Resolution Authorizing Submission of a Building Reuse Grant
Application, including commitment of the required 5% cash match of $11,500, to assist with the
proposed expansion of Lawrence Industries in Thomasville.
Building Reuse Grant Program Overview
• A unit of local government must serve as the applicant.
• The program requires a dollar -for -dollar match by the company.
• The program is structured as a forgivable loan which would be administered by the County.
o The County must guarantee the loan through a binding contract with the State.
o The company has 18 months to complete the renovations and hiring, then must
retain the jobs for an additional six months, at which point the loan is forgiven and
the grant closed.
o If the company does not meet its hiring and retention goal, it is obligated to repay
the loan on a per -job basis. The County would be responsible for ensuring that
repayment is made and the County would be liable for repayment to the State if the
property owner defaults on its payment. The property owner is willing to either
assume this risk via a Deed of Trust or request a lump -sum payment upon
completion of the terms of the grant.
Chairman Frye opened the Public Hearing at 6:52 p.m. and closed it after everyone wishing to
speak had done so.
Brandon Lawrence, 3815 Canter Dr., Trinity, Vice -President, Lawrence Industries, said he
has worked for Lawrence Industries for over eleven years. He said in addition to the full-time
positions, they employ part-time employees as sub -contractors. All of their components have to
be assembled allowing some underserved individuals to have take-home assembly work on a part-
time basis.
1/6/20
Chairman Frye asked who Lawrence Industries sells to. Mr. Lawrence stated that Ply Gem
Windows and Jeld-wyn Windows are their largest customers and they also sell parts to many
smaller manufacturers.
On motion ofAllen, seconded by Kidd, the Board voted unanimously to approve the Resolution
to Support the Submission of a Building Reuse Grant Application and the 5% Local Match of
$11,500, as follows:
RESOL UTIONAUTHORIZING THE COUNTYOF RANDOLPH TO APPLYFOR

Annual Audit
April Adams, Partner/Cherry Bekaert LLC, presented and reviewed the County's
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for year ending June 30, 2019. She stated there were no
adjustments to journal entries, no significant deficiencies were identified, and said the firm gave
the County an unmodified "clean" opinion, which is the highest level of findings. She commended
the County's Finance Office staff for their work and assistance.
Detention Center Construction Update
John Witcher, Bordeaux Construction, gave an update on the status of the Detention Center
project and a look ahead at the overall project and schedule. The total contract cost in September
2019 was $27,605,162. Since that time, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical construction items
were rebid which created a savings of $4,431,893 from the original bids. During contract
negotiations with contractors, an additional savings of $104,385 was realized. Mr. Witcher said
that the project is currently on schedule to finish by February 2021 with occupancy in March 2021.
Commissioner Allen asked what created the savings. Mr. Witcher stated that his staff was able
to get more contractors to bid which created competition and some systems were redesigned to
lower costs.
Clerk of Court Renovation Proiect
William Moser, CPL Architects, presented the initial estimate for the Clerk of Court renovation
at the Courthouse. The project would need to be completed in phases. The following changes
were in the proposal:
• Increase square footage from 9,780 sq ft to 16,692 sq ft.
• Increase staff area from 35 possible positions to 50 possible positions.
• Add two hearing rooms;there are none at present.
• Add one transaction counter to total eight counters.
• Add 1700 cu ft of high density file storage.
• Estimated costs including furnishings, filing system, cable and phone upgrades, and
replacement security system devices came to approximately $1,974,735.
Chairman Frye asked Mr. Massie how the project would be funded. Mr. Massie said it would
be a pay-as-you-go project.
Chairman Frye asked Mr. Moser what the timeframe looked like. Mr. Moser said it could take
all year because of the different phases and the construction in an occupied facility. The scheduling
of contractors would be challenging.
1/6/20
On motion of Kidd, seconded by Allen, the Board voted unanimously to authorize the County
Manager to negotiate a contract with CPL Architects for the design, bidding, and construction
administration of the Clerk of Court Renovation project.
Sheriffs Fleet Management Garage Operation
County Manager Hal Johnson said this report is a follow up to information presented at the
December 2, 2019 Commissioners meeting and serves to provide the County Commissioners with
updated information on the cost of upgrading the County building located at 757 New Century
Drive to allow change of occupancy that would be necessary to establish a Sheriff's Office Fleet
Management Garage.
Mr. Johnson said on December 16, Chairman Darrell Frye, Commissioner Kenny Kidd, County
Engineer Paxton Arthurs, Risk Manager Cathryn Davis, and he met again with the Sheriff and his
staff to review existing operations and determine necessary building improvements that would be
required to allow garage use in compliance with OSHA safety and building code regulations.
During this meeting it was determined that uses beyond just general storage had occurred in
this building since its construction in 1999. Minor Sheriff's Office vehicle service work had been
taking place in the building since 1999. The building had also been used for several years to house
the Sheriff's Office Command Bus and the BearCat Personnel Carrier. These gradual changes of
use would have required upgrades to the building to comply with applicable OSHA safety and
building code regulations.
County staff inspects the building daily to ensure safety and compliance with OSHA
regulations. The following is an updated summary prepared by Mr. Arthurs that reflects the issues
and costs involved in upgrading the garage building to allow the vehicle repair activities performed
since 1999. The summary is based on the assumption that the Command Bus and the Bear Cat
Personnel Carrier will continue to be parked within the building.
Building
- This use will require a Change of Occupancy (from S-1 General Storage to S-1 Repair
Garage)
- We need to provide a 3 hour fire barrier (due to Command Bus & BearCat storage).
■ This will consist of an 8" masonry block wall.
■ The wall will have 2 openings:
• (1) 3 ft fire door with closer
• (1) 12' wide x 10' high fire shutter with fusible links
- Minor repairs involving door hardware and storage under stairs are needed.
- One of the existing stairways will need to be relocated to accommodate the new fire
barrier.
Fire
- The amount of flammable material that is stored in this building is less than the exempt
amount allowed by the building and fire code; therefore, a fire rated storage room is
not required.
1/6/20
- There is a 500 gallon above ground waste oil tank located outside the building at the
back wall. This tank will need to have at least 10 ft. clearance from the building.
This building has special storage room that requires 1 hour fire protection. In order to
meet this rating, additional layers of drywall will be required along with a 45 minute
fire door.
Mechanical
Because chemicals are used in this building that require ventilation and because
vehicles are driven into this building (and operated for the emissions test) an exhaust
system is required to be added.
■ The exhaust system will need to have 3 components:
• It is required to operate continuously at a low level (controlled
by occupancy sensors).
• It must be capable of operating at a high level (controlled by a
switch at the main door).
• It must also have Source Capture System that attaches to the
tail pipes of vehicles when they are running inside the building
Plumbing
An Eyewash station and deluge hose are required because some of the chemicals that
are used are classified as irritants.
There is a bathing shower that does not meet handicap code; however, because this
building is not open to the public and because the shower is not a required fixture, the
shower will be acceptable as it is.
There are several minor repairs needed for an above slab drain that was previously
added.
Electrical
The existing 200 amp electrical service is adequate to provide power to the new garage
equipment so a service upgrade will not be required.
The existing panels need to be labeled.
- A new sub -panel will be added to serve the new garage equipment.
- All 120 volt outlets need to be GFCI protected.
- Non-metallic cable was used in this building. Although this is allowed, there are some
areas were the cables are exposed or installed above a drop ceiling where the wiring
will need to be covered with 1/2" drywall or else changed to a metallic cable.
OSHA Specific Items
The Sheriff's Office will provide appropriate safety training for the repair garage
employees and ensure SOPs include application of the training.
■ The training will include:
• Job Hazard Analysis
• PPE
• HAZCOM
o maintain Safety Data Sheets on all products
o ensure proper storage for all flammables
o ensure proper PPE is provided and used
1/6/20
• First Aid
• Incident Reporting
• Machine, equipment and hand tool operation
• Emergency Action Planning
The Sheriff's Office will conduct regular facility safety inspections, provide safety
talks, and continue the above required safety trainings as annual refreshers.
Note: A rough cost estimate for the above items would be in the range of $55,000.
Most of this cost is to address existing issues. Approximately $2,500 of the estimated
cost would be to support the new activities that have been proposed for this building.
The majority of the work to be performed would be contracted to a licensed general
contractor. The electrical wiring and minor plumbing work would be done "in-house"
by the County Maintenance Department.
Chairman Frye explained that the building was built long before Sheriff Seabolt took office.
The building has been out of compliance for quite some time. It is important to make the building
compliant to park the BearCat personnel carrier and the Command Center bus since they cannot
be parked outdoors. He said that law enforcement restricted funds had been used to fund the
construction of the buildings originally.
Commissioner Allen commented that the building had been constructed with "drug money" so
he felt the work to bring it up to code for the Sheriff's Office should also be paid that way.
Chairman Frye asked Mr. Johnson, Mr. Massie, and the Sheriff to meet regarding the possibility
of using restricted funds to pay for the renovation.
On motion of Allen, seconded by Kidd, the Board voted unanimously to appropriate $52,500
from Fund Balance to make improvements to the County building located at 757 New Century
Drive allowing compliance with OSHA and N.C. Building Code standards relative to facility uses
prior to August 2019 with the understanding of coming to an agreement to use alternate restricted
funding. The Budget Amendment is as follows:
2019-2020 Budget Ordinance
General Fund—Budget Amendment # 32
Revenues Increase Decrease
Appropriated Fund Balance $52,500
Appropriations Increase Decrease
Sheriff's Office $52,500
Contract for Additional Deputy Sheriff Sergeant at the NC Zoo for Law Enforcement
Services
Justin Brubaker, Sheriff's Office Business Manager, requested the reclassification of a Deputy
Sheriff to a Deputy Sheriff Sergeant. This position will be utilized for the North Carolina Zoo.
The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) has agreed to cover
the salary and fringe benefits for a Deputy Sheriff Sergeant position for the remaining fiscal year
1/6/20
and future. This agreement has been signed by the DNCR in a new Law Enforcement Services
Contract.
Salary/fringe benefits and revenue will need to increase by $4,795 to offset cost for this
reclassification. This amount has been prorated for 5 1/2 months (Jan. 16'' through June 301h).
Mr. Brubaker asked the Board to approve the reclassification of a Deputy Sheriff to a Deputy
Sheriff Sergeant, approve the following budget amendment to the General Fund, and allow the
County Manager to sign the contract.
On motion of Allen, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted unanimously to 1) approve
reclassification of a Deputy Sher("position to a Deputy Sher("Sergeant position, 2) approve the
contract, 3) allow the County Manager to sign the contract, and 4) approve the associated budget
amendment with the NC Zoo for additional Law Enforcement services, as follows:

Broadband Update
Michael Rowland, IT Director, said he would like to take this opportunity to brief the Board of
Commissioners on internet availability across the county and initiatives taking place at the state
and federal levels to improve access. In this modern age, the internet, also known as broadband,
has become a necessity for businesses and individuals. Businesses rely on it for communications,
logistics, and even to run some of their key business systems. The internet is a requirement for
citizens who want to stay digitally connected to the rest of the world and even for students to
complete homework assignments. However as a rural county, our citizens face many challenges
to getting adequate internet access. To improve access, there are NC Broadband Infrastructure
Office grants, legislative changes to support broadband deployment, and Connect America Fund
Broadband grants.
Fire District Parcel Changes
Erik Beard, Fire Marshal, said property owners whose homes lie within a certain distance from
a fire department receive a break on their homeowner's insurance rates. Currently, that distance
is 6 miles. If your home is located between 5 and 6 miles of a fire department, your fire protection
is rated Class 9, and you get a slight reduction in your homeowner's insurance premium. If your
home is located less than 5 miles from a fire department, your fire protection may be rated lower
than a Class 9 as determined by the North Carolina Department of Insurance, and your discount
could be as high as 30%.
Fourteen (14) parcels were identified that are currently located in the Westside Fire Protection
County Service District (hereinafter "Westside"), are between 5 and 6 miles from a fire
department, and have a Class 9 rating to receive a slight break on their homeowner's insurance.
These parcels are actually located less than 5 miles from a Tabernacle fire station. Moving them
1/6/20
from Westside to the Tabernacle Fire Protection County Service District (hereinafter
"Tabernacle") would move them to a Class 6 rating and make them eligible for a much greater
reduction in their homeowner's insurance premium.
One of these homeowners approached the County requesting this move and since the other
parcels in his neighborhood were similarly situated, the recommendation is to move them as well.
A list of the affected parcels is as follows:
Aimee Scotton, Associate County Attorney, said pursuant to North Carolina General Statute
153A-304.3, a board of county commissioners may, by resolution, relocate the boundary lines
between adjoining county service districts if the districts were established for substantially similar
purposes. The procedure for doing so is fairly simple.
First, the commissioners must call for a report to be prepared containing all of the following:
a. Maps of the districts and adjacent territory, showing both the current and the
proposed boundaries;
b. A statement indicating that the proposed boundary relocation meets the
requirements of 153A -304.3(a);
c. A plan for providing service to the area affected by the relocation of district
boundaries; and
d. The effect that the changes in amount of taxable property will have on the ability
of the district to provide services or to service any debt.
Second, a board of commissioners must hold a public hearing. The report referenced above
must be available for public inspection in the office of the clerk to the board for at least two weeks
before the date of the public hearing.
Fire Marshal Erik Beard has already prepared the required report and is asking for a Public
Hearing to be scheduled for the next meeting on February 3, 2020. After the Public Hearing, if
