Mooresville Town Manager Goes On Medical Leave

MOORESVILLE, NC — Mooresville officials are expected to appoint an acting town manager this week to temporarily fill the position while the current town manager is on medical leave, a town spokesperson said Tuesday.

“Mooresville Town Manager David Treme shared with Town Board members and senior staff Monday evening, February 25, that he is not able to serve as Town Manager over the next two weeks for medical reasons,” Public Information Officer Kim Sellers said in a statement. “The Town’s Charter and the general statutes provide that in the event of the Manager’s absence or disability, the Board should appoint a qualified officer to serve as acting Town Manager in his absence.”

Until the acting town manager is appointed, however, the town “is effectively operating without a manager and all documents and contracts requiring Mr. Treme’s signature will remain unsigned,” Sharon Crawford, assistant town attorney for Mooresville told the town board Tuesday.

The Mooresville Board of Commissioners are scheduled to meet Friday, March 1 at 8:30 a.m., and will be able to vote to appoint an acting town manager at that time, Sellers said.
