What does the chair say to open the meeting and call the pledge?
For a second, Amanda. Um, before I hit the gat the gavel, is there a Nancy D'Elicio here right now? Are you here yet? Not yet. Okay. All right, thank you. Alright, so I'll leave it on consent 'cause off consent rather. One, two, three, four, five, six. Are you ready? For words of inspiration I mean. For words of inspiration. Yeah. Well, good evening, supervisors, good evening, staff, and good evening, Loudoun. I'd like to call to order the May nineteenth, two thousand twenty-six Loudoun County Support Supervisors Business Meeting. This room has a hearing loop. If you need hearing assessance assistance, please switch your hearing aid to the telecom mode. If you need a headset, we have those available as well.
Please see the clerk to request one. Vice Chair Turner, would you like to read this um lead us in words of inspiration and The Pledge of Allegiance.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Uh this is a quote by uh uh President John F. Kennedy uh
The commencement ceremony for American University, delivered five months before he was assassinated. The most important topic on earth, peace. What kind of peace do we seek? Not a pox Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war, not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I'm talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that Enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children. Not merely peace for Americans, but peace for all men and women. Not merely peace in our time, but peace for all time. Please join me in the pledge.
Pledge allegiance to the
flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Okay, um the following items are being deleted, I'm sorry, deferred to the June second business meeting. Item eleven, the LEGI twenty twenty-three dash zero zero eight zero, the Valley Commerce, Z Map Z twenty twenty three dash zero zero zero eight, and Z Mot twenty twenty-three dash zero zero four one. And item sixteen, the Board of Supervisors Initiative for the Juneteenth celebration in the Loud and Freedom Center. Um just so everyone knows, I actually Um as I set the agenda, I made the decision to take those off the agenda because we have an incredibly long agenda. And uh as it turns out, the next agenda is almost empty. And so when I looked through the things that were not um completely time sensitive and didn't have didn't have to be passed right away, these two items kind of popped out at me as the be as being the two items.
items that we could move um without having any uh time violations. So that's why I made the decision to move them. It's nothing to do with anything but just how busy the agenda is. I have a feeling tonight would be one of the maybe the first night we make the motion to go best to go past midnight because that's how busy the agenda is tonight. So that's why those are that's why those are deferred from the the agenda. I will also note that the reconsideration of motions from the May 4th, 2026 Special Business Board Meeting Action Item is CPAM 2024-0002 and Zoam 2024-0002, Western Loud and Rural Uses and Standards. If there are any reconsideration motions that are appropriate, those will be addressed.
Tonight. Um I will say, supervisors, what my plan tonight because of because of how busy the meeting is and because we have three closed sessions, is to take us to closed session one pretty early in the meeting, um, because that one could take a little bit of time, come back out of closed session, do um resolutions and public comments, and then do the um the walrus items at that time. Time that gives everyone a chance to listen to public comments before we get to the raw risk items. And and so, in some ways, you know, I don't want to say dispense of, but kind of finally close out raw risk if we do it like that. And I'd like to finally close out raw risk to be honest, or at least send it on to where it goes next.
And then from there, we'll go on to the rest of the um items on the agenda.
