Jason Newton 0:00

Good to go. Excellent. Thank you. Thank you both. I have a 710, April 27th, and I call the Loudoun Communications Commission meeting to order. Noting the subquorum. We're good to go. First order of business is the agenda. Did anybody not receive the agenda? Are there any changes to the agenda? Yes, I'd like to strike the bullet term limits from the agenda where it says includes previously commission approved. As proposed to the agenda is not reflective of further discussion of said commission by law. However. I looked through the meeting minutes from June and July last year, and we did not approve any discussion of. That sounds very familiar to me too. If there's no objection. Administrative change the agenda to make sure it reflects it correctly.

Jason Newton 1:14

Seeing the objection, can we make sure those are reflected in the. The final minutes when we, when we present the minutes from this meeting accordingly and. Thank you for noting that any other changes to the agenda.

Unknown 1:30

I have some questions about Maddie and I wait to the commissioner comments to ask those. But, um,

Jason Newton 1:37

okay. Yeah, that sounds good. Let's do that. Then it's a good time to do it.

1:41

Okay.

Jason Newton 1:44

Hearing and seeing no other adjustments, then the agenda is adopted. As modified without objection. Okay, it's adopted then onto the minutes from March 23rd. Did anybody not receive the minutes? Are there any corrections to the minutes move to approve 2nd, 2nd, any further discussion on favor? Say aye. Aye. Any opposed extensions? Anonymous are adopted. We have no 1. Signed up for public comment and discussion. So, on to the next order of business, which is approval. The bylaw changes. There is a write up that you should have received. Of the draft changes. Mr. Kenny points out we had previously approved had discussions about these changes and in particular, the term limits are not there draw your attention to those actually had questions about them.

Jason Newton 2:45

I'll come to them. At the end, unless somebody else brings it up, but, um. Before we jump into that any feedback concerns questions discussion on the proposed changes to the bylaws to reflect the updated template and language provided by the county. Largely recognizing that the substantive changes is primarily just in template with copy and paste the objective of the purpose of the commission from our existing bylaws. Sorry, are you are you saying you would like to see? No, I'm saying that. I'm just making clear that. This update to our bylaws does not substantially change the purpose portion.

Unknown 3:39

Got it. Thank you. Can I make a note that the summary is, I mean, just reading the 1st paragraph here, it says. chair jason newton vice chair and secretary aaron smith so there's some glaring issues with how it's summarized

Jason Newton 3:58

yes the the webex summary distributed is mediocre at best i agree does not reflect our approved minutes Just wanted to make it. Yeah, I know. Thank you. I'm assuming that was done. At a courtesy from staff is additional

Unknown 4:17

information for us to digest. Yeah, it's AI. We take everything related with the greatest. Don't go laying off people yet. Right? Okay,

Jason Newton 4:28

well, I did have, um. I didn't have 1 question about the. I lost those confused by it because I don't and this is maybe. Mr again, to your point, we're having a discussion about the, the term limits, but the plain English reading for me. This is what article 4 sorry back up section 2 membership terms. Members may serve on the commission membership terms. Yep. Section B. Um, members may be reappointed to 2 consecutive terms. So reappoint does that mean. You can have, and these are concurrent with board supervisors, which are what? 3, your terms. If so, what are your supervisors? Yeah, for for what she runs for as rare as it sounds like you could serve 1 total. Huh? Yes. And then 2 additional. So 3 total, that's the plain English.

Jason Newton 5:27

I'm assuming that's what it's meant to say. And then, okay, so I'm okay with that. If there's nobody else raising concern about the language there and then when it goes to officers, they. Chair and vice chair may be reelected for 2 additional consecutive. Not like we would want that, but it could be 2 additional.
