Council approves confirmatory resolutions, wastewater write‑off and event banners; Vertical Bridge review deferred
Summary
At its March 18 meeting the Mooresville Town Council approved three confirmatory resolutions related to Innovation Park and Sun Polymer, approved a wastewater bad‑debt write‑off and granted permission for DAR military banners; the Vertical Bridge agreement was deferred for further review.
The Mooresville Town Council on Tuesday approved a series of routine and financial items, including confirmatory resolutions for development projects, a wastewater bad‑debt write‑off and permission for a local veterans banner program. The council deferred action on a cellular lease renewal request pending further review.
Confirmatory resolutions: The council held public hearings with no speakers in opposition and approved three confirmatory resolutions by unanimous vote (5-0): Confirmatory Resolution 9 20 25 (Innovation Park), Confirmatory Resolution 10 20 25 (Sun Polymer, personal property) and Resolution 11 20 25 (Sun Polymer, real property improvements and designation as an economic redevelopment area). Each public hearing was opened and closed with no public comment; the council then voted to adopt the resolutions.
Wastewater bad‑debt write‑off: Diane from the clerk's office presented a recommendation to write off uncollectible wastewater accounts for 2024 totaling $6,416.96. The council approved the write‑off 5-0 after the clerk said collection efforts had been exhausted and explained that sewer charges follow property ownership in some cases.
DAR military banners: Anne Moore, representing the Daughters of the American Revolution local chapter, asked permission to place and number approximately 40 military banners along High Street for the 2025–26 season; the council granted approval and accepted the group's proposal for installation and retrieval logistics.
Vertical Bridge agreement: Council members agreed to defer final action on a proposed agreement with Vertical Bridge to allow additional review. A council member asked for more time to compare the current draft to the original agreement and noted a concern about renewal terms that suggested a later expiration date than the original five‑year automatic renewals.
Claims and payroll: The council approved payment of claims as presented (motion recorded for $1,283,198.72) and approved payroll clearing (amount stated in the minutes as "228,900 or $292.17"). Both motions were recorded as passed 5-0.
Other routine business included department reports and the setting of the next council meeting for Tuesday, April 1; the council also scheduled a public meeting on the fire territory.
