The Moore County Board of Commissioners convened on November 19, 2024, to address several key agenda items, including a resolution expressing concerns over recent U.S. military support to Ukraine and appointments to local boards.

The meeting commenced with acknowledgments of service, particularly recognizing Commissioner Quiss for his contributions. Following this, the board moved into new business, where a significant resolution was introduced. Commissioner Von Cannon proposed a resolution opposing President Joe Biden's authorization for Ukraine to utilize long-range missiles supplied by the United States against Russia. The resolution articulated concerns that this action could escalate tensions and potentially lead to World War III, with implications for military drafts of young Americans.

After reading the resolution, a motion was made by Commissioner Cook and seconded by Commissioner Lebancount. During the discussion, differing opinions emerged. Some commissioners expressed strong opposition to the resolution, citing the need to stand firm against Russian aggression. Others voiced concerns about the potential consequences of escalating military involvement. Ultimately, the resolution passed with a vote of 4-1.

The meeting then transitioned to appointments. The board appointed Commissioner Picerno to the Convention and Visitors Bureau, filling the vacancy left by Commissioner Quiss, effective December 2, 2024. Additionally, the board approved the appointment of Corey Diebel as an extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) member of the Carthage Planning Board.

The session concluded with a motion to enter closed session to discuss legal matters, followed by a brief return to public session. The meeting highlighted the board's engagement with pressing national issues and local governance, reflecting the complexities of decision-making in a politically charged environment.
