What was the purpose of the opening and consent agenda at the start of the meeting?

Phyllis J. Randall 2:47

All right, good evening. I would like to call to order the May 21st, 2025 Transportation and Land Use Committee meeting. This room has a hearing loop. If you need hearing assistance, switch your hearing aids to telecoil mode. If you need a headset, we have those available as well. Please see the clerk to request one. So we're gonna start with the Pledge of Allegiance.

and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Phyllis J. Randall 3:33

I would like to announce the following changes and additions to the TLUC meeting schedule. On July 16, 2025, the regular TLUC meeting will start at 3.30 p.m. and the TLUC Western Loudoun Rural Uses and Standards CPAM and ZOM meeting will start at 5 o'clock p.m. And on October 22nd, 2025, the regular TLUC meeting will start at 3.30 p.m. And the TLUC Western Loudoun Rural Uses and Standards CPAM and ZOAM meeting will start at 5 o'clock p.m. Staff will prepare an administrative items report for full board approval of these changes for the June 3rd, 2025 board business meeting. So tonight, we have something on consent. The proposed consent agenda is as follows. Item five, consideration for the inclusion of a public comment period at the Transportation and Land Use Committee.

Phyllis J. Randall 4:35

I move adoption of the consent agenda. Is there a second? The consent agenda was moved by me and seconded by Supervisor Glass. Is there any discussion on the consent agenda? Supervisor Kirshner.

Caleb A. Kershner 4:55

Thank you, Chair. Yeah, so I'm going to support this going forward to the full board. I'm not sure if I'm actually going to support this once this gets to the full board. I have some ongoing concerns as to if we're only limiting it to 15 minutes for public comment, so it's basically going to be the first people who rush to the microphone to speak. I'm also not sure if we really need it I do I am also aware at least in that may have changed so I don't want to speak on a hand that there were some concerns that the chair had as well so I'm going to continue to look at this and maybe you can convince me otherwise but because of tonight's lengthy agenda and also because this was on consent and it will ultimately be a full board decision I just wanted to express my ongoing concerns thank you

Phyllis J. Randall 5:36

Thank you, Supervisor Kirshner. So advanced signups would be offered, but they're not required. The public could sign up to speak in person at the meeting. The reason why I put this forward is it's been really successful at the joint committee meetings. So I sit on the joint school board and board of supervisors committee, and we get lots of people coming and speaking to us. And I think it's really helpful. And we would limit it to what they limit it to, 15 minutes. People will get 2.5 minutes to speak about the items on the agenda, only the items on the agenda. And I think it's timely because we did, the Board of Supervisors did remove a five o'clock PM time from public input during board business meetings.

Phyllis J. Randall 6:26

So since we removed something just to keep our meetings going where they don't go so late, and I get that, I think it makes sense to add it here. Just so everyone knows, I would love to start having more items come to the Transportation and Land Use Committee from public hearing. Applications that are perhaps not fully completed that still have outstanding issues. This would give people a chance to come speak about those as we try and make them better. I'm always into having more public input and that's why I brought it forward. So hopefully I'll get the support of the full board and hopefully Supervisor Kirshner. Okay, all those in favor, please say aye. Any opposed? The motion passed with three yes and two absent.

Phyllis J. Randall 7:23

All right, we will now move to our first information item. This evening we have four information items. Remember, when presenting or responding to questions from board members, please turn on your microphone. I guess we haven't been doing that. The first one is item one, unmet housing needs strategic plan, third quarter FY 2025 update.
