What opening procedures and votes are taken at the start of the meeting?
Good
evening, everyone. I'd like to call to order this January 18th, 2024 meeting of the Leesburg Planning Commission. Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the
flag of the United States of America.
We do have a quorum. I have one member absent who will be hopefully reporting in. Do we know anything about Jennifer?
I have not heard from Jennifer.
Okay. Commissioner Tuck, however, is going to join us electronically. Pursuant to the town's remote electronic participation policy, Commissioner Tuck has notified the clerk of the commission that she is unable to attend the meeting due to illness. Arrangements have been made for her voice to be heard by everybody. Commissioner Tuck is participating from her home. I will now ask for a vote of the members present to allow Commissioner Tuck to participate in the meeting. Do I hear a motion? So moved.
Second.
All in favor? Aye. Aye. Commissioner Tuck, can you hear us?
Yes, Madam Chair. Thank you.
Thank you. Okay. The next is the adoption of the agenda. Do I hear a motion to adopt as submitted?
So moved. Second. All
in favor?
Aye.
Okay. Do I hear a motion to approve the minutes of the January 4th, 2024 meeting? Second.
Second.
Are there any alterations, corrections, additions? All in favor? Aye. Aye. Okay. Aye. Thank you. Are there any disclosures? Commissioners Tuck will start with you. No, ma'am. Okay. No. No. None. None. None. None. And I have none either. We will skip the chairman's statement. Do we have any petitioners signed up?
No, ma'am.
Is there anyone in the audience who would like to speak on anything this evening? With that, we'll move on. Our next item is going to be the comprehensive planning, and this is going to be the capital improvement program presentation by the director of public works and capital projects. And if I can stop you just for a moment before you begin, please stand, you may. I just wanted to say thank you to the director. Thank you for bringing this up and giving us some time to review it. Appreciate it. Commission members, absorb everything you can, because the next time we meet on this, we will be voting on it. So with that, I'd also like, if it's possible, if you have any questions on this, to get them to staff by the 9th, so that you would have a chance to either review them and respond, or at least say we've got them and we'll see you at the meeting.
Any questions on that, Commissioner Tuck? No, ma'am. Any on the dais? With that, please start. All
right. Thank you, Commissioner Robinson. Good evening, Madam Chair and members of the Planning Commission. My name is Renee La Follette, Director of Public Works and Capital Projects. And I think all of you are returning members, so a lot of this will be repetitive for you. But tonight, we have representatives from all of the departments that have projects in the CIP. We have Scott Kaufman with the airport, John Callahan from IT, T Pranat for the police department. Brian Stone from utilities and I also have my new assistant director for capital projects with me here tonight, Doug Wagner, and hopefully next year this will be his presentation to do. No, I'm staying with the town, but it becomes his responsibility as his area of responsibility.
Yeah, I'm not planning to. Thank you, Commissioner Barnes. Okay, so as we know, the CIP is in three parts, the active six-year section, our priority futures, and our potential futures, with the priority futures being those projects that have been further scoped and have an estimate. The potential futures are the ones that are the ideas and will make their way through into the active CIP. So again, the definition of a capital improvement program for the town of Leesburg is construction, renovation or demolition and or land acquisition that has a value of more than $60,000 and has a useful life of at least five years and is depreciable over that time period. Our CIP trends over the last 10 years have been an increase in project and budgets.
We had the big jump in 2020, and we've stayed at a high level of projects since then. By budget, the CIP is about 53% of the CIP for streets and highways.
