RANDOLPH COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CLOSED SESSION MINUTES
February 6, 1995
At 12:30 a.m. the Board went into closed session to consider the
qualifications, competence, performance, character, fitness, conditions of
appointment, or conditions of initial employment of an individual public officer
or employee or prospective public officer or employee; and also to establish or
instruct the staff or agent concerning the negotiation of the price and terms of
a proposed contract concerning the acquisition of real property, pursuant to
NCGS §143-318.11(a)(5)(6). Commissioners Kemp, Frye, Davis, Holmes and Comer
were present. Also present were Frank Willis, County Manager; Alice Dawson,
Clerk to the Board; Alan Pugh, County Attorney; Hal Scott, Jr., County Personnel
Director; and Billy Chilton, Tax Assessor.
Chairman Kemp explained that the County had advertised for a full-time
county attorney position and that five candidates were interviewed. One
candidate had county government experience and was offered the position. He
declined Randolph County's offer.
It was the consensus of the Board not to hire a full-time attorney at this
time, but to reassess the need for this position during 1995-96 budget
deliberations.
Mr. Willis discussed the need to clarify what services provided by Mr. Pugh
are covered through retainer and what services will be billed for at an hourly
rate. The Board directed Mr. Willis and Mr. Pugh to work out a plan for
attorney services, including costs associated with each service.
Chairman Kemp advised the Board that Richard's Home and Garden and a lot
150' x 100' behind it are for sale. This building is the only portion of the
old Harris Teeter Shopping Center that the County does not own. The current tax
value for this property is $105,900. Richard Luther, owner, has offered to sell
for $138,000.
After a brief discussion, the Board authorized Chairman Kemp to negotiate
terms of a contract with Mr. Luther and to offer him up to $110,000 for the
building and lot.
Closed session ended at 1:50 a.m. and the Board went back into regular
session.
