County adopts 2025–26 classification plan, including 3% cost-of-living adjustment

Randolph County commissioners approved the 2025–26 classification plan presented by county human-resources staff, including a 3% cost-of-living adjustment and updates to job titles made during the prior year.

The staff presenter said the plan aligns with the Randolph County personnel policies and the State Human Resources Act (referenced in the meeting as "general statute 1 26 known as the State Human Resources Act"). The plan adds a coordinator of health services for the health department, reclassifies the wellness administrator position and adds community navigator positions that were included in the current budget.

Action: A motion to approve the classification plan for emergency services, general employees, law enforcement and medical classifications for fiscal year 2025–26 was made, seconded and adopted by the board.

Ending: Commissioners asked no substantive follow-up questions and moved to the next agenda item.
