Spencer board closes public hearing, names Rasheed Mohammed voting delegate to N.C. League of Municipalities
Summary
The Spencer Town Board closed a rezoning public hearing without public questions, designated Mayor Pro Tem Rasheed Mohammed as its voting delegate to the North Carolina League of Municipalities, and set the agenda for next Tuesday including several consent and regular items.
The Spencer Town Board closed a public hearing on a rezoning matter and moved on to set next Tuesday's agenda, designating Mayor Pro Tem Rasheed Mohammed as the town's voting delegate to the North Carolina League of Municipalities.
After staff described parcel details and answered a few questions about access and lot configuration, the chair said there were no further speakers and called for a motion to close the public hearing. The board approved the motion (moved by Mr. Muhammad; seconded by Ms. Sledge) and the hearing was closed.
During the agenda review the board also received a nomination and vote to designate Rasheed Mohammed as Spencer's online voting delegate for the League's nominating committee slate; the board moved and approved the designation. Anna Etheridge of the League was noted as the contact who would send the delegate voting instructions.
The chair reviewed items to be added to the consent and regular agendas for the next meeting: a presentation from Black Mountain Software and representatives from the North Carolina League of Municipalities; authorization for the town manager to negotiate and execute a contract for a cell tower at the Public Works site on Sowers Ferry Road; consideration of the FY26 audit contract with Strickland Hardy PLLC; proposed ordinance 26-02 to rezone part of 2035 US Highway 29 (a future vote will require a statement of reasonableness and consistency); clerical corrections to a budget ordinance amendment for the library HVAC; a budget ordinance amendment for police donations; acceptance of a Rowan County Fire Grant (budget amendment 25-11.014); and a resolution (26-02) requesting reinstatement of passenger rail stops in Salisbury.
The chair said the board will hold a public hearing to close out its CDBG grant and then accept public comment, and department heads will provide regular reports at the next meeting. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that was approved by the board.
What happens next: Several items were placed on the agenda for the next regular meeting; the board expects staff presentations and formal votes on contracts, budget amendments and the rezoning at upcoming meetings.
