Randleman board approves $61,526 in splash pad additions, accepts IRS mileage increase and other routine items
Summary
The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved seven additional splash-pad items totaling $61,526, accepted the IRS 2025 mileage-rate increase from $0.67 to $0.70, and approved routine consent items; Triad annexation/residential rezoning requests were continued to March 4.
At its Feb. 4 meeting the Randleman Board of Aldermen approved additional work and equipment for the PARTF-funded splash pad and handled several administrative items, including accepting an IRS mileage-rate change for city reimbursements.
Interim City Manager Shain Sexton said Splash Pad Project Manager Robin Hughes and Finance Director Elizabeth Sechriest compiled a list of items outside the original PARTF-required scope that the city would benefit from. The board approved seven items totaling $61,526: a camera system ($26,350), landscaping ($14,260), fencing ($11,310), picnic tables ($3,976), benches ($1,280), shelter painting ($1,550) and a metal roof ($2,800). Alderwoman Melissa Allred Blalock moved to approve the additions; Alderwoman Kimmy Williams seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Finance Director Elizabeth Sechriest told the board the IRS standard mileage rate for business travel increased from $0.67 to $0.70 per mile for 2025; the board voted to accept the new rate.
Other routine business included acceptance of public-comment updates from the Randleman Chamber of Commerce and a motion to continue three Triad Investment Partners annexation and R-1 to R-3 rezoning requests to the March 4 meeting. Brandon Emory of Alliance Code Enforcement requested the continuance. The motions to continue were made by Mayor Pro-Tempore Michael Dawkins, seconded by Alderwoman Blalock, and approved unanimously.
The board adjourned after department updates.
