Summary
At its December meeting the Randolph County Board of Commissioners elected Daryl Frey chairman and Kenny Kidd vice chairman, approved three appointments to the county Board of Health and authorized a new law-enforcement clerk position funded in part by lapsed salaries.
Daryl Frey was elected chairman and Kenny Kidd was named vice chairman at the Randolph County Board of Commissioners’ December meeting as the board completed its annual reorganization.
The board approved appointments to the Randolph County Board of Health, appointing Dr. John Slitosky as the physician member and Dr. William Walker as the optometrist member by voice votes. The community-member seat was filled following a contested roll-call-style voice vote that the chair announced as passing 3–2; the transcript records both the spellings "Elbert Lassiter" and "Albert Lassiter" in the same exchange, creating an ambiguity about the appointee's exact name.
The board also approved the creation of a Law Enforcement Clerk 4 position for the sheriff's office. Steve Nunn described the role as supporting payroll and personnel records; the board approved a grade 159 position with salary and fringe totaling $64,001. County staff said part of the current-year cost would be covered by lapsed salaries with the remainder included in next year’s budget.
Finally, the commissioners set a planning retreat for Feb. 19, 2026. The meeting adjourned after additional routine business and brief commissioner updates.
The board’s actions were taken by voice votes unless otherwise noted; specific roll-call tallies were not recorded on the record for most actions.
