Police commissioner Ernie Wilson resigns; council to accept applications for replacement
Summary
Council announced the early resignation of Ernie Wilson from the Mooresville Metropolitan Police Commission; his term would have expired Dec. 31 and the council outlined the appointment process and term timing.
The Mooresville Town Council on Nov. 4 acknowledged that Ernie Wilson has ended his service on the Mooresville Metropolitan Police Commission because he is moving out of the area.
Council members praised Wilson, noting his law enforcement background and years of service to the commission. The council said Wilson informed them of his move in advance and that his term would have expired Dec. 31; commission terms are three years and the commission is a three-member board with staggered terms.
Council described the process for filling the vacancy: if the council appoints someone before Dec. 31, the appointee would serve until the end of the year and could then be considered for reappointment. Staff was asked to post the opening to the town's website and social media.
No formal appointment was made at the meeting; the council asked staff to advertise the vacancy and accept applications for consideration.
