The Mooresville Board of Commissioners meeting on June 16, 2025, highlighted several community initiatives and updates, including a successful Juneteenth celebration and ongoing public safety programs.

Mayor Carney opened the meeting by emphasizing the importance of freedom of speech and expressing gratitude for the positive feedback received from recent protests regarding local law enforcement. He then handed over the floor to Tracy Jerome, who reported on the recent Juneteenth event, which saw a large turnout and included participation from various community groups and first responders. Jerome noted that the event was well-received, with good weather contributing to its success. She also mentioned that the park where the celebration took place is undergoing renovations to address flooding issues, with hopes to host the event there again next year.

In addition to the Juneteenth celebration, the meeting covered updates from the Mooresville Fire and Rescue Department. Chief Camper Chaney shared that the department's Camp Blaze, a free summer camp focused on fire safety and fitness, had expanded this year due to high demand. The camp aims to educate children about fire safety while providing engaging activities.

The meeting also recognized two police officers, Marco Tabura and Chandler Watts, who graduated from Basic Law Enforcement Training. Officer Watts led the invocation during the ceremony, and the community was encouraged to participate in upcoming events, including "Coffee with a Cop" on July 24 and a car seat check on August 13.

Further discussions included updates from the public library, which reported high attendance at recent children's events, and announcements about upcoming community activities, such as a blood drive and various recreational events.

The meeting concluded with a reminder about the ongoing mill and overlay project in several neighborhoods, aimed at improving road conditions. Residents were advised to keep vehicles off the streets during resurfacing to facilitate the work.

Overall, the meeting underscored the town's commitment to community engagement, public safety, and infrastructure improvements, with several initiatives aimed at fostering a strong sense of community in Mooresville.
