and this is the Loudoun County Communications Commission meeting. I did have apologies from Commissioner Bybee and Commissioner Ryan, but for the record, we've got Commissioners Kennedy and Commissioner Stone, both not in attendance tonight. So, thank you for being here and on to the agenda and then minutes. 1st question, did anybody not receive the agenda for the evening? There are any changes or amendments to the agenda. Then there's objection the minutes from our last meeting are adopted as drafted. And onto the, um, sorry, that was the agenda, uh. Onto the minutes, the minutes from our last meeting have also been shared that they may not see that. And then he changes corrections or adjustments to the minutes from.

From July, 2018. In hearing none. Then, without objection, the minutes from our July 28th meeting are dumped in as drafted. Next order of business then is a public comment discussion. We have nobody from the public here and nobody that signed up in advance. Which brings us to a minor update to the bylaws. We've seen in the agenda a couple things that were added. We need a short discussion on a few pieces of that and then The third part is fairly straightforward. Namely, so this is based on the template that comes down from the county for all commissions. There are three changes here. The first is in section 3B that should have been included in the distribution as well, a copy of the existing bylaws. 3B is basically just taking

excuse me, 3B1, whether or not we desire to have any limits on how many consecutive terms commissioners may have. And then secondly, and 4A1, similar question, should there be limits on the chair and vice chair roles and how many additional consecutive terms they could or may or may not have? And the third change is simply referencing the member of the commission that comes from the Loudoun County Public Schools, specifically adding language as duly appointed internally to the respective agency, hopefully non-controversial. So I'll open the floor to discussion. Any comments or thoughts on, should we have limits? And if so, what should they be first on consecutive terms of commissioners themselves, and then secondly, on the chair and the vice chair?

Any opinions thoughts, so how this is not a great word. How popular is it to be part of the communication commission? Do we have people beating down the doors who want to be members? Is it something that the supervisors have to really work on to find folks? The nature of the question is the more attractive it is, or more popular the position is to be on the commission. Perhaps that would motivate a shorter time span for those who are serving. I had the impression that we are not. One of the popular ones, and as such, I don't think that's an issue. But it just wanted that. My, I mean, the chair's impression is very similar that there's some. When there's been vacancies in that, and that commission has taken a lot of time to rebuild them.

Unknown 4:00

We haven't had necessarily a deep view of. Applicants wanting to be considered wanting to fill vacancies as they come up, right? Certainly extend certainly 1. Edit we can have in there that its members may be reappointed to any number of consecutive terms. Simple now any other thoughts. I mean, since I'm going to be here as long as I'm in my role and. School system, so be hard to determine limits. I didn't apply and it would be 91 and different. So, I think. I guess my basic thought would be, given we're having an existential discussion about whether the commission is even going to exist, I think it's kind of a moot point discussing term limits, right? I feel like this is rather a fun for you. We can probably move on.

Unknown 5:05

Yeah, I think we should just, I would suggest we just table, I think it's a moot point to even discuss As you said, perfunctory to discuss it, I don't think it's worth discussing at this point. And so to your point about. Sure, so about beating down the doors. Yeah, I mean, I had reached out to my district supervisor on the board. I guess close to 2 years a year and a half, maybe almost 2 years ago now about the mobile tower issue.
