Randleman reappoints longtime library board member; Middle School Beta Club offers park cleanup help
Summary
The Board reappointed Karen B. Richardson to the Randleman Public Library Board, heard a public comment offering Beta Club help for local park and trail cleanups, continued an annexation hearing to April 8, and voted to enter closed session for personnel.
RANDLEMAN — At its March 4 meeting the Randleman Board of Aldermen unanimously reappointed Karen B. Richardson to the Library Board and heard a public comment offering student volunteer help for local cleanups.
Library Director Donna Toomes recommended reappointing Richardson, who previously served as assistant librarian and head librarian and remains an active library patron; the board unanimously approved her reappointment. The transcript notes Toomes’ letter was included in the board packet and that Richardson agreed to continue serving.
During public comment, Sean Fitzgibbon of 300 Worthville Street offered to involve the Randleman Middle School Beta Club in clean-sweep projects, saying he and students had worked previously at Worthville Beach and that he would like to expand efforts to Stout Street Park and the Deep River Trail; the board thanked him and said they would welcome the students’ assistance.
Interim City Manager Shain Sexton also reported an amended voluntary annexation petition: two parcels were removed and Triad Investment Partners, L.L.C. joined as a petitioner; the board voted to continue the annexation public hearing and re-advertise it for the April 8 regular meeting. Mayor Pro‑Tempore Michael Dawkins moved and the board unanimously approved entering closed session for personnel pursuant to N.C.G.S. §143-318.11(a)(6).
The meeting record supplied in the transcript does not show any votes or actions taken during closed session, nor does it list next steps for the public‑comment volunteer offer beyond the board’s expressed appreciation.
