Randolph County approves three reclassifications; Michael McKenzie named deputy finance officer
Summary
The Board approved three mid‑year reclassifications, including renaming a planning position to senior planner, elevating Michael McKenzie to deputy finance officer effective Oct. 16, 2025 (with associated bond), and one‑step raises in 911 staffing effective Nov. 1, 2025.
The Randolph County Board of Commissioners approved three personnel reclassifications and an associated budget amendment during the meeting.
County manager Ziv Holden outlined the mid‑year changes, saying the planning department will rename its GIS planner role to senior planner to be more competitive for hires. Holden also proposed promoting Michael McKenzie from reporting specialist to a second deputy finance officer to bolster succession planning in the finance department; the board approved McKenzie’s appointment effective Oct. 16, 2025, and noted the second deputy finance officer position requires a $500,000 fidelity bond.
Holden also said the 911 division, which has faced recruitment and retention challenges, will receive a one‑step reclassification for all dispatch staff to align pay with EMS colleagues; that change is planned to be effective Nov. 1, 2025. Holden said the county used limited funds earlier in the year to bring in temporary coverage and now seeks lasting reclassification adjustments.
A commissioner moved to approve the reclassifications and associated budget amendment; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. Staff said the effective dates are Oct. 16 for the deputy finance officer appointment and Nov. 1 for the 911 reclassifications.
