The Randolph County Board used part of its Jan. 5 meeting to recognize three employees retiring after decades of service.

Timothy Mangum of the Planning and Zoning Department was recognized for 33½ years of service; staff noted Mangum’s work on countywide zoning, watershed management, site‑plan mapping and the county’s 911 addressing project. Chief Donovan Davis, who retired Nov. 30, 2025 after more than 30 years in emergency services, was recognized for building ambulance bases, expanding EMS stations and modernizing emergency operations. Cindy Trogdon, retired from Randolph County Public Health on Nov. 26, 2025 after 30 years, was honored for work in child health, maternity coordination and childcare health consultation.

Chair remarks thanked the employees for long service and noted many county programs (911 system, emergency operations center, public‑health programs) benefited from their work. Each retiree received public appreciation from commissioners and staff.
