Council reviews draft mission and vision statements for town website; vote deferred
Summary
Council members reviewed draft mission and vision language for a test version of the new Mooresville website, requested more time to consider wording and deferred a formal vote to the next meeting.
Mooresville Town Council reviewed draft mission and vision statements for a new town website and agreed to place the item on the next council agenda for further consideration.
A staff member read two proposed statements: the mission statement, beginning “Our municipality exists to serve the people who call this community home. Each day we work to keep our neighborhoods safe, our streets and parks well maintained, and our shared spaces welcoming to all,” and the vision statement, beginning “Our vision is preserve the small town character and sense of community that makes the town of Mooresville unique while embracing opportunities that enrich the lives of our residents and future generations.”
Several council members asked for more time to review the language. One council member cautioned about tension between language that “creates opportunities for growth” and language that emphasizes preserving a “small town” character; the member asked for additional consideration of wording. The item was discussed but no vote was taken; the council directed that the mission and vision statements remain on the agenda for the next meeting.
