Commission approves $500 retirement receptions for two employees
Summary
Randolph County commissioners unanimously approved retirement incentive receptions of up to $500 each for Randy Cosper (Aug. 27) and Donnie Knight (Aug. 28), and the packet includes Donnie Knight's retirement notice effective Aug. 31, 2026.
The Randolph County Commission voted unanimously to approve retirement incentive program budgets of up to $500 for two county employees. Commissioner Lorenzo Foster moved to approve the budget for Randy Cosper for Aug. 27, 2026; Commissioner Derek Farr seconded and the motion passed with all commissioners voting in favor. A separate motion to approve a similar $500 reception for Donnie Knight on Aug. 28, 2026 was moved by Commissioner Derek Farr, seconded by Commissioner Chris Lunsford, and also passed unanimously.
The meeting packet includes a written notice from Donnie Knight stating, "At this time, I am turning my notice in for Retirement as of August 31, 2026." The county's retirement incentive program (RIP) policy—contained in the packet—authorizes receptions and a budget to cover catering and a commemorative gift; the RIP references Amendment 909 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901 as the governing authority for adopting the program. The motions approved at the meeting authorized the stated receptions and the associated budget amounts.
"All present voting 'aye,' Chairman Johnson declared the motion carried," the minutes state.
