How does the council open and set the meeting agenda for June 9, 2026?
I would like to call to order tonight's Town Council meeting of June 9th, 2026. If anyone in the room needs hearing assistance, please see the clerk. Council Member Krakowski will give the invocation tonight, followed by Vice Mayor Simoneau-Johnson doing the Pledge of Allegiance.
Thank you, Madam Mayor. As we gather this June, may we acknowledge a month dedicated to powerful moments of recognition. We celebrate the visibility of Pride Month, bring vital focus to men's health, honor the history of Juneteenth, and raise critical awareness for both PTSD and gun violence awareness. This awareness asks us to look closely at those deep difficulties and changes from the weight of silent personnel struggling to the profound pain of communal loss. Yet, there is an immense strength in our willingness to see these challenges and to praise the resilience of one another and, of course, our diversity in thought and in being. By acknowledging each other's unique outlooks, burdens, thoughts, and feelings, we do not divide ourselves.
Rather, we build a better community. Thank you.
Everyone please stand.
Let the record reflect that all members of council are here tonight. We have two sets of minutes. The work session minutes for May 11th, 2026. Do I have a motion to accept them? Second. Council Member Steinberg, seconded by Council Member Nacy. All in favor indicate by saying aye.

I did. I would like to request that we move 13A to the consent agenda.
13A. Council Member Steinberg, do you have an issue with that? I do not. All right. All in favor of adopting the meeting agenda with the change of 13A added to the consent agenda, please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? That passes 7-0. We have no certificates, but we do have a proclamation tonight. The proclamation is for LGBTQ plus Pride Month, June 2026. Whereas this month of June is recognized across the nation as LGBTQ Pride Month, honoring the history, resilience, and invaluable contribution of the LGBTQ plus individuals. And whereas Pride Month commemorates the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, a pivotal moment that ignited the modern LGBTQ plus rights movement and continues to inspire ongoing efforts towards equality and justice.
And whereas Pride Month is a time to raise awareness of the unique challenges faced by the community and the individuals, a time to celebrate and reflection, and an opportunity to acknowledge the ongoing work needed to ensure equality, dignity, and justice for all. Whereas the town of Leesburg is committed to fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and respectful community where all people feel valued, safe, and supported. Whereas Pride Month serves not only as a celebration, but also as a reminder of the work still needed to achieve full equality and inclusion for members of the LGBTQ plus community. And whereas organizations like Equality Loudoun work tirelessly to advance equality, provide education, and build support systems that empower the LGBTQ plus individuals and allies throughout the region, therefore proclaim that the mayor and the council of the town of Leesburg, Virginia,
HEREBY PROCLAIM JUNE 26TH, JUNE 2026 AS LGBTQ PLUS BRIDE MONTH AND EMBRACE LGBTQ PLUS PEOPLE AND RECOGNIZE THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS PROCLAIMED THIS DAY JUNE 29TH. DO I HAVE A MOTION?
