Why does the Planning Commission start the meeting with announcements and the Pledge of Allegiance?
Everyone, the December 12, 2024 Loudoun County Planning Commission Public Hearing and Work Session will now come to order. As is our custom, please let us stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. I 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. Thank you. Just a little bit of administrative items tonight. Actually, we'll go ahead and start with an announcement before we get into the outlining the process of our meeting. I did want to pause for a moment and share some news that I know a couple of you have heard. It's fairly late breaking that Ms. Jackie Marsh will be departing the Department of Planning and Zoning.
and will not be supporting the commission in her new role, but thankfully she is staying with Loudoun County. So I'll let her add if she wants anything, but I will say that we have benefited from her good council support and leadership with the DPC staff over the last two years that I've been sitting here and many years prior to that as a project manager. And if you remember when we started five years ago, Jackie always had the thorny cases, so that's one big indicator on her abilities and the trust and faith that people had in her. So she will be missed, but I'm glad you were not going too far, and thank you.
Thank you. I will be starting as the director for the Real Property Asset Management and Planning Office. It is an office newly created under county administration. My last day with the department will be December 30th. I will start officially on January 6, 2025 in the new position. I'd like to thank this commission for all your support and working with you over the past nine years. I started at Loudoun nine years ago. It's been my pleasure to serve as your liaison and the assistant director for the past two years. Thank you. 106 Catoctin Circle. So I won't be in the government center anymore, but I'll be... Yes, yes. Yes,
so thank you. We'll have to have a really good dinner and entice you to come back and join us sometime for old time's sake. All right. She's like, sure, yeah, okay, see ya. No, Jackie, thank you. I know when Eric and I found out there was a little bit of disbelief and we're thrilled for you and the opportunity and sad for ourselves, but we'll get over it. So I'm good for you. All right, well, back to our business at hand. Just for the process and procedure of the evening, members of the public who wish to comment on any item on the public hearing legislative agenda may do so. If you are in the boardroom, please fill out a speaker slip and hand it to the Assistant Deputy Clerk of the Planning Commission.
