[2:31] >> Welcome, everybody, to the July 6th,
[2:38] 2026 Board of Commissioners meeting.
[2:42] And we're going to go ahead and call to order.
[2:44] I would like to start by congratulating
[2:46] our awesome country for 250 years.
[2:51] So a great experiment has proven to be pretty amazing
[2:54] and for what all it has done in the world.
[2:57] So I think we are all lucky to have been Americans.
[3:03] With that, we are going to start off with our invocation
[3:06] by Commissioner Kerik.
[3:08] >> Let us pray.
[3:11] Gracious Heavenly Father we thank you for the day
[3:14] that you've given us.
[3:15] We thank you, as the mayor just said,
[3:18] for 250 years of a country.
[3:20] Let us not take any of those 250 for granted.
[3:25] When we think about the many people who
[3:27] sacrificed in many ways and we have that freedoms that we have
[3:31] here let's not take that for granted as we come Off
[3:35] of a celebration weekend, I am thankful for the local service
[3:41] men and women who worked the weekend and take care of
[3:45] and protect as people were celebrating
[3:47] and having a good time.
[3:48] Those men and women were both out working,
[3:52] and I'm very thankful for that.
[3:55] I thank you for the time that we have
[3:56] to come together this evening.
[3:58] We certainly remember Mr. Owens, keep him in our prayers.
[4:02] He's continuing to heal.
[4:04] And the town manager, she's working through some sickness.
[4:08] We ask that your hand be upon them.
[4:10] And as we sit here tonight, as we look at business in the town,
[4:16] we ask for your wisdom.
[4:18] We ask for your discernment, and your guidance in our decision
[4:21] making process.
[4:23] Lord, in the areas that we need your grace,
[4:27] we ask that you give us your grace.
[4:29] Give us your mercy.
[4:31] That what we do, our decisions and our process,
[4:35] we do it to bring honor and glory first and foremost to you.
[4:38] We are humbled by the opportunity to sit here.
[4:41] We are thankful for all of the many blessings you give us.
[4:46] In Christ's name , Amen.
[4:54] >> Will you all stand for the Pledge of Allegiance?
[5:02] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
[5:05] and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God,
[5:05] indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
[5:12] Next, we are going to have our public comment.
[5:15] And if we would, I'm going to read our public comment
[5:20] practices.
[5:20] At the first meeting each month, we
[5:22] set aside some time to allow public comment for our citizens
[5:24] or anyone wanting to address the board.
[5:26] Each speaker is given three minutes.
[5:28] You should be civil and respectful
[5:30] to the board in their language and presentation.
[5:32] It is the board's practice not to respond or engage
[5:35] in conversations with anyone who speaks in order
[5:38] to give the speakers the full amount of time
[5:41] to voice their concerns.
[5:42] You would like to address either by the board or by town staff,
[5:47] raise your matter.
[5:48] Please understand that the state law Prevents us
[5:54] from discussing employee personal matter with you.
[5:57] We're going to start off with Mr. Patrick Reitz.
[6:01] I believe I saw Will and Cheryl.
[6:05] Do we have will and Cheryl?
[6:06] You have six minutes.
[6:10] >> Good evening, most importantly,
[6:14] citizens of Mooresville.
[6:16] Happy birthday, America.
[6:18] I have a couple of thoughts about this,
[6:20] and as I have mentioned before, maybe the board
[6:22] can make some changes.
[6:23] I would like to state that there are several of my neighbors
[6:25] who would like to be in the audience to support my views.
[6:28] As you might say, they are like minded individuals.
[6:32] Unfortunately, due to constraints,
[6:34] it's difficult for them to attend a meeting
[6:36] and to be part of my audience for the extended comment
[6:39] period of six minutes.
[6:40] Rather than the three minutes granted under current policy.
[6:43] So what can be done to change this?
[6:46] Is it possible that a written affidavit can be accepted?
[6:49] Would it have to be notarized?
[6:51] Would it have to be each and every time?
[6:53] That in itself could be a burden, both logistically
[6:56] and financially.
[6:57] Can you all come up with an alternative?
[6:59] I'm sure Miss Crawford and her team
[7:01] could have a revised policy.
[7:03] Certainly, it would be a gesture of goodwill
[7:06] towards the community with all of the negative stuff going on.
[7:11] And while you're at it, how about public
[7:13] comment at the second meeting of the month,
[7:15] as we know how things can change rather rapidly around here.
[7:18] Next, although he would rather I not say his name,
[7:21] I'm gonna say it anyways.
[7:23] Mr. Ryan, town manager.
[7:25] Last month I mentioned the vegetation at white
[7:28] and shears again.
[7:29] I spoke about the condition of the sidewalk
[7:31] and driveways along the north side of Church Street
[7:33] near Liberty Park.
[7:34] Guess what?
[7:35] Several of these things have been addressed
[7:37] and have been completed.
[7:39] Ryan told me that the accolades need
[7:41] to be directed to the traffic and engineering teams,
[7:43] so I will mention Randy Asegura, who also called with an update.
[7:48] Mr. Your efforts are being recognized.
[7:51] Next up, Assistant manager Kelly Strickland.
[7:54] Parks and rec.
[7:55] My grandchildren and I have been to several of the activities
[7:58] provided by the town.
[7:59] I just can't wait to go to the foam party next Tuesday.
[8:05] Safety Officer Dave Harding, he made sure
[8:08] that my niece and nephews visiting from California
[8:10] had plenty of Mooresville PD swag to take home with them.
[8:14] And not to be undone, Mooresville Fire Chief
[8:18] made sure that he and his staff dug
[8:23] through several boxes and cabinets
[8:24] to ensure that they had enough stuff to take home.
[8:27] I don't know what's with you guys.
[8:29] Fire department, men and women run into danger every day
[8:33] for our community.
[8:34] I feel that it's important to accentuate the positive
[8:36] and those responsible.
[8:37] Enough about the rainbows and unicorns.
[8:40] What about the lawsuits, the payouts and the NDAs?
[8:43] So many people are concerned about backroom deals.
[8:46] Palms being greased, bribes and advantages being offered,
[8:50] hush money.
[8:51] Mostly just conspiracy theories until proven true
[8:53] at a later date.
[8:55] It's just not a good look for the town.
[8:58] And who was this Dan guy guy that tried to defame Mr. West?
[9:03] Was that just a bunch of smoke and mirrors
[9:05] to get people to look the other way?
[9:07] Look away from what?
[9:09] Here we go.
[9:10] Another conspiracy theory.
[9:12] Thank you to Mr. Lee Sullivan and Lake Norman Citizen
[9:14] for setting the record straight.
[9:16] Mr. West has been a public servant in one way
[9:18] or another all of his life.
[9:19] We need more like him.
[9:21] Maybe we should start a GoFundMe page
[9:23] for Mr. West for his legal team to see the council.
[9:26] We really don't need people that are not from our community
[9:29] stirring the pot, Fanning the flames.
[9:32] That's what Mr. Beck and Mr. Binion and I do.
[9:35] That's what we are here for we really
[9:38] do have enough stuff to deal with already in this town.
[9:41] One more thing, you all passed the town budget.
[9:44] If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Carney has
[9:46] stated that he may step down to spend more time with his family.
[9:50] Could we get Mr. West Appointed as mayor?
[9:58] Could we get Tommy device back as Commissioner at large?
[10:00] Let that sink in for a minute.
[10:02] There's much more to say.
[10:03] I wish people would get involved.
[10:05] Actually come to the board meetings and stay till the end,
[10:08] which might be difficult to do tonight as USA versus Belgium is
[10:11] on at 8 p.m..
[10:12] So I may be leaving early.
[10:14] Remember to love your neighbor as yourself,
[10:16] pray for your enemies, volunteer in the community if you can,
[10:20] and give of your time, treasure and talent to the glory of God.
[10:30] May God bless the Earth.
[10:34] >> Appreciate you, sir.
[10:37] Miss Caldwell.
[10:38] Miss Caldwell has a truly inspiring story.
[10:40] Thank you for coming.
[10:43] >> I'm a little nervous.
[10:45] >> You have three minutes.
[10:49] >> To sum it all up, I have a rare brain condition.
[10:57] You are now looking at a person who
[10:58] does not have the whole right side of her brain.
[11:01] This surgery was December 9th, 2025.
[11:05] They said it was going to take 12 to 18 months for me
[11:08] to start talking again.
[11:09] Here I am.
[11:10] I am back in school.
[11:13] I definitely have a testimony, so I
[11:15] want to give all honor to God.
[11:17] All praises are due to God.
[11:19] My mom is here, my daughter is here.
[11:21] But what I am here to say is Ms. Peggy at the front office.
[11:34] He is now retired.
[11:35] But let me tell you something.
[11:36] I've had some things that happened to me unfortunately,
[11:39] because I can't work and do things,
[11:41] and I told them that I was ready to go back to school.
[11:43] I enrolled in.
[11:44] Everything that they said that I wasn't going to be able to do,
[11:48] I am doing.
[11:49] I called out and reached out.
[11:50] And I got the call and I got to Nicole.
[11:56] She said, thank you for sharing your story.
[11:59] How can we help you?
[12:00] I am enrolled in school.
[12:03] But unfortunately I'm not working and things like that.
[12:12] What can we do?
[12:14] And it was like, I got you.
[12:18] Because this is rare.
[12:19] I was the number six person in the United States.
[12:24] You all are going to hear way more about it.
[12:25] I'm going to be speaking in a lot of rooms.
[12:31] This is just the start.
[12:32] I have some names.
[12:34] I want to thank Mayor Chris Khan.
[12:40] I wanted not only to thank you privately, but also publicly.
[12:45] My town elected officials have done exactly what I
[12:48] needed him to do.
[12:49] And that is to give back and pull the citizens up.
[12:55] Thank you for being a part of my healing journey.
[12:57] When I say I am forever grateful and gracious for the things
[13:00] you've done for my family, I have a daughter
[13:04] in medical school and I have one studying right now in Japan
[13:08] because she's in international corporate law.
[13:12] They told me I'm their inspiration.
[13:14] Because I have a testimony and a purpose to fulfill.
[13:19] Thank you guys.
[13:21] Thank you, Nicole.
[13:25] Thank you for being a part of that journey.
[13:27] From the bottom of my heart, I just wanted to thank you.
[13:31] Not privately, publicly.
[13:33] You have definitely done what you
[13:36] were supposed to do in my eyes and continue to do.
[13:38] Thank you.
[13:42] That's all I have to say.
[13:44] >> I'm so proud of you.
[13:51] [Applause]
[13:55] Next, Roland Bell.
[13:57] How are you, my friend?
[14:00] You have three minutes.
[14:06] >> Good evening mayor and members of the board.
[14:08] My name is Roland Bell.
[14:10] I'm a resident here in Mooresville.
[14:11] I'm a father, a husband.
[14:13] I'm also a veteran in the United States Air Force.
[14:16] I'm here tonight not to speak out
[14:17] of hatred or personal animosity, about a concern for this town
[14:23] and the integrity of its public offices.
[14:26] Someone who served in the military.
[14:29] And the mayor also served, I know
[14:32] we both understand the standards that come up when in uniform.
[14:36] We're taught that our actions reflect not only on ourselves
[14:39] but on that we represent.
[14:40] We're expected to avoid conduct that would embarrass the service
[14:43] or damage public trust.
[14:44] I believe that elected office holds that same responsibility.
[14:48] The mayor may not wear physical uniform,
[14:51] but the office itself in a sense is a uniform.
[14:55] A position carries responsibility, symbolism
[14:59] and public trust at all times.
[15:00] No matter when, no matter where.
[15:03] The conduct in the mayor reflects on multiples itself.
[15:06] I appreciate that you've issued multiple apologies.
[15:09] I think that in a town with strong Christian values,
[15:13] that many residents are willing to accept that apology.
[15:17] Forgive this matters.
[15:19] Grace matters.
[15:20] Forgiveness is not a grace or accountability piece someone
[15:23] can be forgiven while still recognizing they're
[15:25] not in the best position to lead effectively.
[15:28] At this point, the controversy surrounding the mayor
[15:30] has become a distraction for the town, an embarrassment
[15:36] and a source of division within its local government.
[15:40] Whether fair or unfair, the office of mayor
[15:42] has been diminished by it.
[15:43] And because of that, I respectfully
[15:45] believe the right thing for the mayor to resign.
[15:48] He truly cares about Mooresville,
[15:53] its reputation and integrity of its government stepping aside
[15:56] would allow the town to move forward and begin
[15:59] rebuilding public trust.
[16:01] >> Thank you.
[16:02] Appreciate you coming tonight.
[16:05] Next is Lynn Taylor.
[16:11] We always appreciate you coming.
[16:18] >> Greeting town board members, staff, and citizens.
[16:23] Were you shocked and disheartened as I was when I
[16:26] read the news that the town had forked out almost $72,000 of tax
[16:29] payer money for legal fees to prevent security footage
[16:33] of the mayor's October 2024 incident being released?
[16:36] On June 25th, we TV news published that we had not only
[16:40] paid those legal fees, but that we had also paid almost 100,000
[16:44] to another settlement and probably will see more
[16:47] of our taxes go for pending lawsuits.
[16:50] If that's not insufferable enough,
[16:52] we also saw in the same week TV report
[16:57] that the commissioner stated that protecting
[16:58] the safety of government buildings was their goal.
[17:01] That's further salt in our wounds.
[17:04] When did the government building become
[17:07] more worthy of protecting the honor of the very people you
[17:10] serve?
[17:10] After, you the board have stated that we are your bosses.
[17:15] As such, our honor is far more precious than brick and mortar.
[17:19] Knowing that the overall philosophy seems
[17:21] to be a building above the peace of mind and what we the people
[17:25] want, that's a rude wake up call.
[17:27] What we want should be the rhetorical question.
[17:30] But as we're witnessing it, it is not.
[17:33] The mayor cannot honor his own words or the will
[17:35] of the citizens he claims to hold in such high regard.
[17:38] And the board appears to be sitting on their hands
[17:40] and blind to it all.
[17:42] And meanwhile, our hard earned money
[17:44] is being spent protecting something that shouldn't be.
[17:49] The board even voted no confidence.
[17:55] The WBTV report also acknowledged
[17:58] that the trust in our city administration is horrendous.
[18:00] And that is probably the most understated fact
[18:05] in this never ending saga.
[18:08] According to the Town Charter page nine,
[18:11] the town manager under section 5.5 letter F
[18:13] is to make available to the public
[18:15] a complete report of finances.
[18:17] Letter H of the same section details
[18:20] how the Town Manager is to perform any other duty required
[18:23] authorized by the board.
[18:25] I realize there's other conditioning statements in both
[18:28] of these letter clauses, but however,
[18:30] knowing the very people the board serves are angry,
[18:34] hurt, feel betrayed and marginalized enough already.
[18:38] How difficult would it have been to approve a special Town
[18:42] report so we felt informed, not blindsided.
[18:46] Before I close, I want to leave you
[18:48] with some facts that are easily found.
[18:49] Can be referenced in are certainly relevant.
[18:52] No confidence votes are legally binding.
[18:58] The citizens of Mooresville demand due justice.
[19:00] The mayor publicly stated that the board
[19:02] could do as they saw fit with him after the 2027 budget was
[19:05] passed.
[19:06] It past, nothing happened.
[19:08] It's been adopted and so far nothing has happened.
[19:10] The mayor went back on his word and will no longer voluntarily
[19:15] stepped down.
[19:16] So staff, what do you want?
[19:19] To continue to abandon your bosses
[19:20] or repair the massive damages that have made us
[19:23] an international bad example?
[19:25] Thank you.
[19:27] >> Thank you for coming.
[19:30] We appreciate you.
[19:31] Next we have Mr. Richard Beck.
[19:42] You have three minutes.
[19:44] >> Mr. Mayor, town board, members of staff and members
[19:50] of the public, I begin this evening paraphrasing from
[19:53] a document from which most of you are familiar,
[19:55] the Declaration of Independence.
[19:57] And so therefore petition this Board of Commissioners.
[20:00] Particular grievance from among the many grievances
[20:02] listed in the declaration, and address many forms
[20:06] by Mooresville residents includes imposing taxes on us
[20:12] without our consent.
[20:13] Sentences have many occasions petitioned for redress
[20:16] in the most humble terms.
[20:18] Our repeated petitions have been answered only
[20:21] by repeated injury.
[20:22] Among the grievances and injury from the most recent
[20:25] past budget, which was approved and adopted
[20:28] include the following.
[20:29] What happened to the original $105,000 of credit card fee
[20:34] expense in the original proposed budget within the planning
[20:37] and Community Development Department that has been reduced
[20:40] to $5,000?
[20:41] Where did the other $100,000 expense go since the entire,
[20:46] not specifically expense budget, amount did not increase
[20:50] by $100,000?
[20:52] May a missing $100,000, just a minor amount.
[20:56] Why have taxpayers paid $72,000 and perhaps more for legal fees
[21:00] incurred by inappropriate actions of town staff?
[21:06] Why are taxpayers being tasked a budgeted amount of $50,000
[21:11] for legal fees within a town manager's office so such office
[21:16] can defend itself from inappropriate actions of its own
[21:19] making?
[21:21] Why are Tusk payers being tasked to pay $90,000 for risk
[21:27] management consultants when a town already employs a risk
[21:30] management director.
[21:31] Why the duplication?
[21:33] Why are taxpayers being tasked to fund the purchase
[21:36] for a police department, new K-9 vehicle for $90,000 with
[21:42] additional payments of $115,000 for the same are listed
[21:46] on another line on the PG budget,
[21:49] and also fleet management replacement budget.
[21:51] A whopping $205,000 for a new gold plated police K-9 vehicles.
[21:57] Great.
[21:59] Why taxpayers directly earned directly through third parties
[22:06] made responsible through tax paid to subtle,
[22:10] almost $100,000 compensation?
[22:12] The former employee --
[22:14] wire citizens being tasked with such egregious payments
[22:17] without due consideration of their necessity
[22:19] by this Board of Commissioners?
[22:22] Is it the intention of this board
[22:25] to address or ignore such payments after the mayor resigns
[22:28] as he stated after the current budget was approved?
[22:31] Your actions speak louder than your words.
[22:34] Thank you.
[22:39] >> Thank you.
[22:41] So next is -- forgive me.
[22:46] I'm going to do my best with this.
[22:53] Teresita Placencia.
[22:56] Thank you for coming tonight.
[22:57] You have three minutes.
[23:11] >> Good evening Mayor board of commissioners,
[23:13] town of Mooresville.
[23:16] My name is Terry Placencia.
[23:24] Teresita is my legal name.
[23:28] Rules that are assumed by public officials
[23:29] and enforced by the authorities are discriminatory in itself.
[23:32] And when arbitrarily enforced Illegal.
[23:35] Public offices -- on stated rules --
[23:44] the problem is not just unfairness.
[23:46] It can become arbitrarily state action.
[23:49] Government rules affecting citizens should be published,
[23:54] noble and administered consistently
[23:57] especially when they affect access rights and penalties.
[24:07] The officers are not bailiffs in this public forum.
[24:12] That is not a bunch.
[24:14] That is a commissioner or desk.
[24:18] When public officials or public body
[24:21] enforces unstated or selectively applied rules,
[24:24] it creates arbitrary state action
[24:25] that undermines equal treatment notice and procedural fairness.
[24:29] Public officials must operate under published standards
[24:31] and open meeting requirements so citizens are not
[24:35] subjected to hidden or inconsistent rules.
[24:46] A police officer can still enforce safety or decorum
[24:48] of the meeting rules and the presiding officer, the mayor,
[24:52] authorizes intervention.
[24:54] But officers should be acting under identified rule
[25:00] statute or discretion from the presiding officers.
[25:04] Not by importing courtroom language
[25:08] that does not fit the study.
[25:11] The meeting rules do not identify the prohibition
[25:13] against the respectful approach or consensual
[25:15] embrace of a board member.
[25:18] The mayor, in this case.
[25:20] By Mr..
[25:22] Where officials routinely permit physical approach
[25:26] to board members behind their desk,
[25:28] but a citizen is threatened with arrest for comparable contact
[25:33] enforcement becomes arbitrary and potentially discriminatory
[25:36] in Operation.
[25:38] Any restraints on a citizen in public meetings
[25:41] should be grounded.
[25:43] In published rule, a valid statutory basis
[25:45] and consistent application.
[25:47] Citizen legislators@Gmail.com is here to serve the public
[25:58] since we are in need of protection.
[25:59] The public.
[26:01] And I tell the chief, the officers need more training,
[26:07] specifically.
[26:08] And what constitutes a threat?
[26:10] We are in danger if they do not understand this.
[26:12] Thank you very much.
[26:15] >> I appreciate you coming out.
[26:20] Mr. Jack Banyan.
[26:34] Jack, three minutes.
[26:37] >> Yes.
[26:38] My name is Jack Benyon.
[26:38] Thank you for allowing me to speak.
[26:40] I see that you will probably be approving another $219,758
[26:42] on consulting fees to fix the sewer system that you can keep
[26:51] telling us there's no problem.
[26:53] I have a sort of hypothetical question.
[26:57] If I were to stand at this podium
[26:59] and ask your approval to do ABC, and got your vote to do A B C,
[27:08] but instead did XYZ.
[27:10] I guess that hypothetically I would have stood here
[27:15] and lied to both of you and the people sitting or standing
[27:17] behind me, and I guess it would be up to you and the staff
[27:21] to make sure that I did A B C, as it was presented.
[27:27] And if you and the staff did not hypothetically,
[27:29] it would sort of put you all in the same boat with me
[27:31] as to lying to the people in this room.
[27:33] Let's go back in history.
[27:35] Before many of you were sitting in those
[27:37] chairs, some crazy things going on.
[27:41] Projects that were presented and approved.
[27:42] But were completed drastically different from the presentation.
[27:51] And some were, I don't want to use the expression snuck.
[27:54] So I would say hurried through.
[27:57] Example, three different housing projects
[28:00] were hurried through after using a 13 year old traffic study,
[28:04] adding 360 single family and multifamily and apartment units,
[28:10] all on a road less than a mile long.
[28:13] When asked why this was used and approved,
[28:16] the term fixing a mistake was used.
[28:26] The one mile road was never widened.
[28:30] It was never added turning lanes into these three communities,
[28:37] and we were told that there would probably
[28:39] be one vehicle per unit.
[28:40] So there shouldn't be any worries.
[28:42] A very large portion of the town officials that were involved Are
[28:47] long gone in terms --
[28:56] I bring this up because it seems at least to some of us
[28:58] out here that history is beginning to repeat itself.
[29:00] I ask that you please go through all the applications.
[29:02] Please be respectful to the homeowners already living here.
[29:05] Please do nothing that would possibly
[29:07] have some of those terms I've previously
[29:09] mentioned be attached to any of you now sitting before us.
[29:11] Thank you.
[29:20] [Applause]
[29:20] All right.
[29:22] We have an addition, Gabriel Moping.
[29:30] I'll try not to make that mistake twice.
[29:32] Thank you.
[29:33] You have three minutes.
[29:34] We appreciate you coming out tonight.
[29:36] >> So I was really just here for you, I'll be honest.
[29:42] I'm really here for you.
[29:43] And I'm looking at everybody else in this room.
[29:45] And I'm noticing the lack of effort of anything that was done
[29:50] about what happened on October 10th,
[29:58] do you remember what happened that day?
[29:59] I remember what happened that day.
[30:01] I was told.
[30:02] I just want to say that the fact that you're still
[30:04] sitting here right now in front of me, and the fact
[30:06] that I'm able to talk to you as my mayor
[30:08] is the most disrespectful thing as a citizen I have ever
[30:11] seen in my life.
[30:13] Truly.
[30:14] Do you have anything to say about that?
[30:20] No?
[30:21] Okay.
[30:22] Really, what I'm going to say to you.
[30:27] You need to resign.
[30:31] Because truly, your actions are not
[30:33] fit for this place, for what's happening in here.
[30:38] Whoever came up here before and was talking good about you,
[30:42] I'm not here to deny their experience with you.
[30:46] You may have done great to them.
[30:49] You haven't done great to me.
[30:51] Just know that.
[30:53] And I'm gonna say this, you need to resign.
[30:57] Because what you did constitutes an impeachment.
[31:00] I hope you know that.
[31:02] You should not be in this office right now.
[31:06] At all.
[31:08] Do you understand?
[31:14] Oh, you do?
[31:16] Those looks that give, disrespectful to the people that
[31:16] came up here and were talking about you.
[31:18] Completely disrespectful.
[31:20] Think about your actions, please.
[31:29] >> Appreciate you, Gabriel.
[31:34] Next.
[31:34] We're going to move on to our presentations.
[31:36] And with that, we have a proclamation
[31:40] for Parks and Recreation.
[31:42] If you'll join me up here.
[31:49] Appreciate you.
[32:09] We're always excited to recognize parks and Rec.
[32:12] And if you want to talk about a group
[32:14] that has had a busy year this year.
[32:16] Opening the Eastern Heights Park.
[32:21] We're working on a massive baseball facility downtown.
[32:25] The golf course continued to make profit.
[32:27] And I try to remind everybody back in my first time around.
[32:29] We were losing $250,000 a year.
[32:32] And Luke and his crew now have turned it around
[32:33] and just doing a great job.
[32:35] Not to mention all of the different events
[32:38] that we've been able to hold in our town.
[32:40] You guys have done a really great job.
[32:42] I appreciate it.
[32:47] With that, the town of Mooresville proclamation Park
[32:55] and recreation Month July 2026, whereas this July Parks
[32:59] and Recreation Month highlights the power of Parks
[33:02] and recreation, community belonging and the people who
[33:05] make the possible to improve the overall quality of life
[33:07] in Mooresville.
[33:08] And Whereas Parks and Recreation Month celebrates the power
[33:10] of connection and offering public space for everyone
[33:13] to gather, enjoy nature and bond as a community,
[33:15] and whereas Parks and recreation are fundamental
[33:21] to the environment well-being of our community and support
[33:24] our safety, community well-being and for--
[33:32] therefore, now it be resolved that the mayor and the Board
[33:35] of Commissioners do hereby proclaim July 26th as Parks
[33:38] Recreation Month in the town of Mooresville and encourage
[33:40] residents to visit a park to participate in one
[33:42] of their outstanding recreation programs in the month of July
[33:45] throughout the year this day of July, 6th, 2026.
[34:00] Thanks, brother!
[34:04] [Applause] Next, we're going to have our town manager report.
[35:22] And with Miss Jerome recovering from a stomach bug,
[35:27] I think we're all thinking about her
[35:29] and hopefully she'll return in a day or two
[35:30] when she's not contagious.
[35:31] With that, Miss Strickland, you're going to take over?
[35:35] >> Yes.
[35:36] As we do start the manager's report,
[35:42] we want to recognize the new members of the staff who
[35:44] have come on board and will be contributing
[35:46] to the high level of service we provide to the residents
[35:48] of Mooresville.
[35:49] We wish you every success as you begin with your careers
[35:52] in the town.
[35:53] We also highlight promotions and transfers
[35:55] within the organization and acknowledge
[35:56] the professional growth and advancements of our employees,
[35:59] the commitment and dedication exhibited by our staff members
[36:01] is greatly appreciated, and I'd like to take this opportunity
[36:04] to say thank you for the exceptional work ethic
[36:07] that our team exemplifies every day.
[36:10] Congratulations to Brian Overcash in fleet
[36:15] Maintenance for 25 years of service to the town,
[36:18] and to Candace Klein in finance for ten years.
[36:22] It's an honor to celebrate these milestones with you,
[36:25] and we wish you all the best in the years ahead.
[36:28] I'm happy to announce that for the 15th consecutive year,
[36:32] the town has received the government Finance Officers
[36:36] Association's Certificate of Achievement for Excellence
[36:43] in Financial Reporting for our annual Comprehensive Financial
[36:45] Report for the fiscal year ending June 30th 2025.
[36:50] This prestigious recognition reflects the Finance Departments
[36:53] commitment to transparency, accountability
[36:57] and the highest standards of financial reporting.
[37:00] Additionally, for the sixth consecutive year,
[37:06] Mooresville has received the GOS Triple Crown
[37:09] Award for fiscal Year 2024.
[37:12] In order to receive the Triple Crown,
[37:17] a local government must have earned all three
[37:23] of the GFOA's mayors honors in a single year.
[37:27] This means that for fiscal year 2024,
[37:30] the town received the excellence in Financial Reporting Award.

[37:50] stewardship and dedication of our finance team
[37:53] and serving our community with integrity and excellence.
[37:57] Thank you so much to our finance team.
[38:01] Mooresville fire rescue, Swift Water Rescue Team
[38:10] is already preparing for hurricane season 32.
[38:13] Mooresville Fire and Rescue, first
[38:15] responders attending three days of intensive training
[38:17] at the new Swift Water facility in Stanly County.
[38:21] It's hard to think about hurricane season
[38:22] during the heat wave we're currently enjoying,
[38:24] but our first responders are keeping their skills sharp
[38:27] and will be ready to answer the call if it comes.
[38:34] Speaking of responding to the call when it comes,
[38:36] Mooresville Fire and Rescue Engine 2C and ladder five C team
[38:43] recently received a Life Save commendation for their response

[38:55] and compassion and for the profound difference you make
[38:57] in our community every day.
[38:59] Final slide we have tonight on Mooresville Fire and Rescue
[39:03] is about our recent promotions within that department.
[39:07] Three new fire captains, four new fire lieutenants,
[39:11] and four new senior firefighters pinned in a ceremony on July
[39:15] 1st.
[39:16] Congratulations, and thank you for your commitment
[39:18] to excellence and your commitment
[39:21] to the town of Mooresville.
[39:24] And now I will ask Police Chief Ron Camperchani
[39:33] to give us this update.
[39:37] >> You caught me off guard.
[39:41] I'm not able to read my first slide.
[39:45] So for those four officers that would deploy to Washington DC,
[39:51] help keeping the community safe and secure --
[40:01] represented Mooresville for this historic event they're going
[40:04] to be up there for a month.
[40:05] They went up on July 18th.
[40:06] They went up June 18th and they will be there till July 18th.
[40:12] So they are working 12 hour days.
[40:14] They're very busy up there.
[40:16] I talked to them the other day.
[40:18] And they are under the auspice of the U.S. Marshal service
[40:22] that reached out and asked if they wanted to send people.
[40:24] It's a pretty cool thing that they're
[40:26] able to go up there and do that.
[40:27] The MPD will hold a canine demo, a police visit Wednesday July
[40:34] 29th, 11 a.m.
[40:35] At the main library.
[40:36] One thing that I don't have a slide for,
[40:40] manager Jerome wasn't here today.
[40:41] We couldn't get in.
[40:42] I'm going to go off script here a little bit.
[40:44] I wanted to get this in because it's important.
[40:48] There has been a common events happening
[40:54] across the country where people are being hurt,
[40:57] assaulted during these Facebook Marketplace meetings.
[40:59] Facebook Marketplace becomes so big now that a lot of people
[41:02] are using it.
[41:03] And we tell people all the time, please use our police station
[41:06] to meet people.
[41:07] Please use our address.
[41:09] If you're going to go on Facebook Marketplace,
[41:11] tell them to meet.
[41:13] The parking lot is monitored.
[41:15] There's cameras there.
[41:16] Dispatch is directly out there.
[41:18] They are increasing across the country.
[41:22] I really wanted to get that out there.
[41:28] It's important and we're going to get it on our Facebook page.
[41:31] We're trying to get it on our social media venue
[41:31] talking to everybody we can about that.
[41:33] It's so important.
[41:34] Kids are using this a lot.
[41:36] My daughters use it.
[41:37] It's really popular now.
[41:39] But when things like that happen, this is what we see.
[41:42] Assaults and rapes and everything
[41:44] happening across the country.
[41:45] It's just not good.
[41:46] For us, please use our police station.

[43:54] Rice with his updates.
[43:55] >> I just have one slide for this evening.
[44:02] While the recent rains are helping the lake level remain
[44:05] significantly under way should be for this time of the year,
[44:07] we will continue to be in the enhanced stage two water
[44:11] conservation measures.
[44:12] They monitor that mid-month.

[44:20] for a full list of updated restrictions, exceptions
[44:23] and water saving tips.
[44:24] With that, that concludes my report.
[44:34] >> Thank you, ATM Race.
[44:35] And now our town attorney, Sharon Crawford,
[44:37] will speak on the scope of municipal authority.
[44:40] >> Thank you.
[44:41] I just want to take a minute to talk
[44:42] about the scope of municipal authority in North Carolina.
[44:45] Municipalities are granted authority from the state,
[44:47] states are referred to either as home rule or as--
[44:55] in Dillon's rule states municipalities only
[44:57] express powers that are expressly
[44:59] granted that are implied or that are essential to their purpose.
[45:01] North Carolina is a little bit more stringent
[45:03] than a Dillon's real estate.
[45:05] In North Carolina, cities and towns
[45:07] only exercise powers that are expressly granted from the state
[45:10] legislature.
[45:11] There's no inherent authority to act
[45:13] and authority is granted through state statutes
[45:15] or local bills that are adopted by the legislature.
[45:18] And ultimately the legislature controls
[45:20] whether the state, a county or a municipality
[45:23] has authority over a service or a governmental function.
[45:26] For example, counties have exclusive responsibility
[45:29] for social services.
[45:30] And the state legislature determines through state statute
[45:34] what the town can or cannot do.
[45:36] As an example, the town cannot charge development impact fees.
[45:40] Happy to answer any questions.
[45:42] >> Question on the board.
[45:47] We will move on to adjustments to the agenda.
[45:49] On the regular we're going to add 8D,
[45:58] Consider a request from the nominating committee to adopt
[46:01] a resolution making appointments to the Town of Mooresville Board
[46:01] and committees.
[46:02] And on closed session, add consult
[46:06] with Attorney GS143-3181183.
[46:22] And next on the Senate agenda regular agenda,
[46:24] we're going to add those -- can I have a motion for the approval
[46:28] of any adjustments to the agenda?
[46:37] >> Motion.
[46:39] >> Second.
[46:47] >> Any discussion?
[46:49] [Members voting] Before we open this,
[46:50] can I have a motion from the board
[46:52] to recuse Mr. Carriker and myself
[46:55] due to our significant others being
[46:58] a member of the group that's asking for the request?
[47:03] It's a fantastic ask, but I I want
[47:12] to make sure that nobody accuses us of inappropriately voting on.
[47:15] Can I get a motion to recuse the two of us?
[47:24] >> Motion.
[47:27] >> Second.
[47:28] >>
[47:29] [Members voting]
[47:42] >> Go ahead and proceed.
[47:44] >> Sure.
[47:45] We do need to call the public hearing.
[47:50] >> Open the public hearing.
[47:51] >> This is text amendment 2602 for the open Mooresville.
[47:55] The applicant is Amy.
[48:02] The purpose is to amend the Udo to provide
[48:03] a clearly defined use and standards for the development
[48:06] of supportive housing.

[50:27] Services may include live choice counseling and financial
[50:31] management, education and -- they should tailor
[50:34] their programs to the unique needs of the residents ensuring

[52:34] Configured to connect to parks greenways and the development,
[52:41] and all utilities should be buried.
[52:44] Planning Board heard this case on May 26th,
[52:45] and recommended unanimous approval.
[52:47] The applicant is here with a presentation.
[52:49] However, I'm happy to answer any questions now or defer.
[52:52] >> Any comments or questions?
[52:59] Thanks.
[53:01] Dr. Amy Dacaring.
[53:10] >> Thank you.
[53:11] Hi, I am Amy Dickinson, the executive director
[53:12] of Hope on Mooresville.
[53:12] Thanks for having us tonight.
[53:13] I'm here tonight to talk about a request for a Udo text
[53:17] amendment.
[53:18] As we move forward in expanding with our mission.
[53:22] And if you don't know what our mission is, hope of Mooresville
[53:28] provides safe and dignified interim housing
[53:31] and maintain support services for the unhoused
[53:33] in our community.
[53:34] So what have we done up until now?
[53:36] What is Hope of Mooresville all about?
[53:38] We have served 157 women and children.
[53:41] We currently operate two houses.
[53:44] And have had over 2000 nights of housing provided.
[53:49] We are very happy about our 75% graduation rate,
[53:55] by graduation I mean that people in our program
[53:57] have successfully worked through the case management process,
[54:01] gotten stable and have transitioned
[54:03] into permanent, affordable housing we have
[54:06] a 100% rate of urinating families, which also keeps kids
[54:13] out of foster care.
[54:14] And everyone in graduation is either employed
[54:17] or on disability.
[54:18] We are very proud of our strong community partnerships
[54:21] with the other local nonprofits and with our school system.
[54:25] They have been wonderful to work with,
[54:27] and are vital to the services we provide.
[54:30] So I am here tonight to talk about more housing
[54:34] options and the need for that.
[54:37] You probably heard this before, lack of affordable housing.
[54:40] And there's so many factors that go into achieving housing.
[54:47] And there's qualification barriers
[54:49] that so many people have, and they
[54:51] need us to walk them through the process
[54:53] so we can get them on the waitlist
[54:56] and have them ready so that they do actually qualify for housing.
[55:01] The long waitlist, I'm not sure if you realized this,
[55:07] but Mooresville Housing Authority,
[55:09] right now their waitlist for the units are 2 to 3 years.
[55:13] The units that serve people 62 and older and those
[55:17] on disability, that waitlist is so long it is.
[55:20] There are a lot of challenges moving from temporary stability
[55:25] to long term independence and we are here
[55:27] to tackle this challenge.
[55:28] We call it hope of more skills phase two and that's what
[55:32] I'm here to talk about tonight.
[55:34] We want to support the transition to long term housing
[55:37] and it is called transitional housing.
[55:40] Is defined by up to 24 months.
[55:42] Case management program which is vital to our success
[55:47] as many assets in many facets to it such as helping people
[55:51] find jobs.
[55:52] Helping people get enrolled in school
[55:55] financial coaching life skills.
[56:00] We take it very serious to hold all of our guests accountable
[56:04] and set goals and work through this program.
[56:08] And we always want to just focus on getting people
[56:11] ready, self-sufficient and independent
[56:14] so they can be successful in long term housing.
[56:17] I want to clarify the vision of what home is not.
[56:22] If you're not familiar with everything that we do.
[56:24] We are not a homeless shelter.
[56:26] We do not provide emergency housing.
[56:29] It is not an unsupervised apartment complex.
[56:36] So people from the public aren't coming in and out.
[56:40] And our staff are 24 hours a day.
[56:42] We have night shift and day shift.
[56:43] We are not a high density housing development.
[56:45] And we're not tied currently to a specific property.
[56:50] Were not seeking approval for the project tonight we just
[56:55] focused on the -- we are just focused on the Udo text
[57:06] amendment.
[57:07] Why do this?
[57:07] We want to improve the community.
[57:07] We want the best for our citizens.
[57:09] What would this look like with a phase two?
[57:11] We would have greater housing stability.
[57:13] We would have increased workforce participation,
[57:18] stronger family stability and reunification
[57:22] and a reduced reliance on the crisis and emergency services.
[57:24] I'm sure they would love to have some help with that.
[57:28] You want to do our part we want to improve our pathways
[57:30] to long term, self-sufficiency.
[57:38] And we want to build this community
[57:39] to be even better than it already is.
[57:39] So the request before you tonight is we
[57:41] have a gap between temporary housing and long term housing.
[57:46] The current Udo does not clearly accommodate
[57:49] for this housing model.
[57:52] The proposed text amendment provides a framework
[57:56] for future consideration of transitional housing
[57:58] opportunities.
[57:58] Any future sites and development would
[58:00] remain subject to separate public review and approval.
[58:10] So what would happen next with our phase two?
[58:11] If this amendment is approved, we
[58:12] would continue our planning and feasibility analysis.
[58:14] We will need to identify a site and evaluate that.
[58:18] We are looking to engage with our community stakeholders,
[58:26] and obviously there will be future public review
[58:29] and approval process.
[58:30] We have even hired a consultant to help us through this process.
[58:34] As I have come to learn doing this
[58:38] there's a lot of steps involved even just to get here.
[58:41] I appreciate all the help we have gotten.
[58:42] To sum it up, HOMe respectfully request
[58:53] approval of the proposed Udo text amendment
[58:55] to provide a framework for future considerations
[58:55] of transitional housing while preserving
[58:56] all future public review and approval requirements.
[59:07] >> Any comments or questions?
[59:12] Mr. West.
[59:14] >> Thank you.
[59:15] I am familiar with-- it sounds like an exciting new concept.
[59:20] I like the idea of multifamily with onsite assistance, job
[59:25] support, especially with the counseling.
[59:27] And with this text amendment to the UDO,
[59:37] do you anticipate having one of these set up in a pipeline?
[59:41] When do you anticipate one of these openings?
[59:43] >> As far as the actual phase two project?
[59:45] I have learned through this process,
[59:48] we are thinking about those things,
[59:50] but we have not set deadlines or schedules simply
[59:56] because we have to get through this text amendment part first.
[59:59] And then we would definitely love to focus on that
[1:00:02] and be able to answer those questions.
[1:00:13] >> Appreciate that.
[1:00:16] Great job, and appreciate what you guys are doing.
[1:00:20] So we don't have anyone for public comment.
[1:00:26] But there would be no rebuttal.
[1:00:30] Do I entertain a motion?
[1:00:32] >> Mayor, I'll make that motion I'll make a motion to approve
[1:00:34] to 2026-02 as the amendment is consistent with
[1:00:36] the town's Mooresville plan, specifically the amendment
[1:00:39] provides a clearly defined use and establishes standard
[1:00:41] for the development of supportive housing.
[1:00:43] Furthermore, the proposed amendment is reasonable
[1:00:47] and the public interest allows residential
[1:00:50] that combine multifamily housing with on site support services.
[1:00:53] >> Commissioner West with the motion.
[1:01:01] Seconded by Commissioner Evan.
[1:01:07] >> Just wanted to express appreciation for the town staff
[1:01:09] that's worked on this and for Hope of Mooresville
[1:01:09] for your work.
[1:01:10] Very good case for a need, the work
[1:01:17] done to bring it into the legal process to make it happen.
[1:01:20] I look forward as this Commissioner West was saying,
[1:01:22] and to seeing it move forward into execution.
[1:01:24] We're getting this first step is exciting to see
[1:01:27] as we look to diversify the opportunities for housing.
[1:01:38] It's a very clear presentation.
[1:01:39] Thank you both for your work on it.
[1:01:41] Looking forward to vote on this.
