[00:03:21] Well, good afternoon, supervisors, good afternoon, staff, and good afternoon, Loudon. I'd like to call the order to December 16, 2025, Loudon County Board of Supervisors business meeting. This room has a hearing loop. If you need hearing assistance, please switch your hearing aids to the telecom mode.

[00:03:37] If you need a headset, we have those available as well. Please see the clerk to request one. This evening, Ms. Brixman will lead us in words of inspiration and the Pledge of Allegiance. Ms. Brixman. Thank you, Madam Chair. It's been a week, and it was hard for me to think of words of inspiration given the Bondi Beach massacre, the Brown University mass shooting, Rob Reiner, for gosh sakes.

[00:04:10] And call me corny, but I woke up to a song this morning that reminded me to be strong, and I'm going to paraphrase it here. It says, harsh words and deeds can make a mockingbird forget she was born to sing.

[00:04:26] The world is hard on beautiful things. The world is hard on beautiful religions. It's hard on beautiful peacemakers. It's hard on beautiful governments like democracies. The world is hard on beautiful people like Rob Reiner, who spent his life entertaining people and making what I think were credible uh making credible commentary on our zeitgeist and on our you know what was going on in our nation and uh so I'll just say you know I hope

[00:05:03] that we can come back after a little bit of a break in reflection um and continue to shine because if we don't continue to shine and we don't continue to sing and we don't continue to fight for what's right, then we are losing an opportunity to do that. So the world is hard on

[00:05:24] beautiful things, but we can sing. Please join me in the pledge. Okay. I do have a proposed consent agenda. It is just two items. It is the contract award construction of the Sterling Boulevard,

[00:05:58] Washington O&D Dominion Trail overpass, and the contract award automatic external defibrillator and accessories. Thank you. Is there, I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda. Is there a second? Second. Motion is made second by Supervisor Turner. Discussion on the consent agenda. Where'd Mr. Saines go? I know. I was going to say, I can talk again about that great W and OD overpass.

[00:06:22] Do we have a consent agenda discussion on the W and D overpass? Okay, you know what? Yay! W and D overpass that Mr. Saines has been working on since 2016. I'll be more excited once we see dirt moving okay all right thank you all right anybody else have anything on the consent agenda because mr. Grinch who's uh uh Quran who uh does not want to talk on this so okay Bob Humbug is right all people say aye all right any opposed that motion will pass 9-0 um I my

[00:06:59] my organization updates there are a few um so I'm sorry I just walked in so I didn't get to write them all down. I did do Leadership Greater Washington. It was at the Children's Hospital in D.C., and this month's theme was mental health. It was all the things that we've talked about on this board already, except for the fact that there is a growing and valid concern

[00:07:32] about mental health amongst our young people, especially our adolescents. Sometimes I say I listen girls versus boys, it's both, it's both. Much of what we're seeing is being attributed to this crisis in social media and I'll talk about that a little more, I was going to say our next meeting, which is literally next year, but there's some stats and things that I will share. We did NVTA. Nothing new on NVTA. I did, as NVTA chair, appoint a nominating

[00:08:10] committee for the NVTA officers next year. I will stand next year again if they will accept me to be the chair of NVTA again next year. I will be happy to do that. Today was monumentally important. I was honored to be invited to be at the unveiling of the Barbara Rose John statue in Statuary Hall of the United States Capitol.

[00:08:34] Barbara Rose Johnson, of course, was the very young woman who was 16 years old, led her classmates out of school in a protest against what was said to be separate but equal, but we all know was never equal.

[00:08:52] That case became one of the five cases that led to the Brown v. Board of Education. Rose Johnson statue replaces the Robert E. Lee statue that was in Statuary Hall. In Statuary Hall, all states can have two statues, and Robert E. Lee was one of us. It is no longer -- it is Robert Rose Johnson. I do want to thank Congressman Suha Supermanyam for inviting me. Everyone was there. The Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, was there. The leader, Hakeem Jeffries, the entire Virginia delegation was there, congressional delegation, most

[00:09:30] of the Virginia state delegation was there. Governor Youngkin attended, as did Governor-elect Spanberger, Speaker Scott, Louise Lucas. I mean, there were hundreds of people and very well attended.

[00:09:45] It was very moving. And to be, for me, to be allowed to be at a dedication of Barbara Rose Johns, on whose shoulders I stand, I literally would not be here without her, was incredibly, incredibly important.

[00:10:01] And so if you do get a chance to go down the Statuary Hall, her statue would be downstairs. The 13 original colonies all have their statues in the same place. And so you go one floor down, but it's an amazing statue, and it was an amazing moment.

[00:10:20] I sat by a gentleman, and I didn't know this. It was a gentleman who was on the Manassas City Town Council, who was one of the people who was part of the walkout. And I sat by him during the ceremony today. So it was really quite the event. And I, again, thank Congressman Super Manion for allowing me to be there.

[00:10:40] We don't have a voice for a cause this evening because we're getting through this evening pretty quickly. I do want to ask Mr. M Street if he has any comments tonight. Thank you, Madam Chair. I do have four comments for this evening. The first is that Loudoun fire officials, including Acting Chief Pro, Acting Assistant Chiefs Natalie and Lupton, would like to remind everyone as you deck the halls this holiday season, be fire smart, especially when it comes to Christmas trees.

[00:11:05] If you have a live Christmas tree, make sure that the Stands Reservoir is full of water every day. Also, make sure your tree is at least three feet away from any heat source. A heat source too close to the tree causes roughly one in every five Christmas tree fires, which can quickly burn out of control.

[00:11:21] More fire prevention tips are online at loudon.gov slash fire safety. Second, holiday shoppers who would like to buy locally made and locally grown products are encouraged to take Loudon home for the holidays. The Department of Economic Development's initiative highlights top quality rural economic products, Handmade gifts and experiences from Loudoun farms and small businesses, as well as locally grown Christmas trees and holiday greenery.

[00:11:43] An online catalog can be found at TakeLoudounHome.com. And then third, if giving a pet a forever home is on your holiday wish list, the Animal Shelter is a place to be this weekend. Loudoun Animal Services is hosting a special adoption event, Home for the Holidays, this Saturday and Sunday, December 20th and 21st, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

[00:12:05] Adoption fees are waived on all available pets, which include cats, kittens, dogs, rabbits, small pets, and livestock. In addition to adoptions, other activities will include a kid's craft station and giveaways for all adopters, including supplies, treats, and toys. Details are online at loudon.gov slash animals.

[00:12:24] And then finally, Loudon County Public Library invites teens and adults to enter its annual short story contest for a chance to win a cash prize. The contest challenges participants to write compelling fictional stories in 3,000 words or less. Submissions will be accepted online through February 15th.

[00:12:41] In addition to cash prizes, winning stories will be made available in an e-book on the LCPL website. More information about the contest is available at library.loudon.gov slash story contest. Some of my comments this evening, Madam Chair. Thank you, Mr. Demstreet. I should have said in my comments a couple things.

[00:12:57] One, this meeting is kind of an abbreviated meeting, our last meeting of the year. We do the employee evaluations. We do not do public comments. We will also not have public comments for the first meeting of the year, and it's a strictly organizational meeting.

[00:13:17] And so it will be the second meeting in January where we start back at the regular agenda and public comments and voice for a cause and all those things. So for the last meeting of the year and the first meeting of the year, those are not things we do. Supervisors, I'm also going to, if you don't mind, I'm going to pass you the program for the Barbara Rose Jones and Bailey today.

[00:13:42] I got two. One of them I'm going to, I was able to snag two, which is hard to do, I'm going to give one of them to the Douglas Center, to the Douglas High School alumni. And so I got one specifically for them, and the other one I'm going to keep.

[00:13:58] And so I'm going to pass it down for you to look at, but I'm going to need it back. So I'll pass them both down, but I'm going to need them both back so I can make sure I give them out to the people I want to give them out to. Supervisors, before we do the employee evaluations, I thought that people might want to need to do their disclosures and might want to do any closing comments for the year.

[00:14:22] And so we are going to go on and do board comments before we go to do the evaluations. And then Mr. Vice Chair Turner will read us into the evaluations. We will do the second one first and the first one second. It doesn't matter as far as you're reading this in, but just to let you know that. But let's start with board comments and let's start with Ms. Glass.

[00:14:41] Board's comments and disclosures. Let's start with Ms. Glass. Thank you, Madam Chair. On Tuesday, December 9th, I met with representatives from Walsh Colucci and Cloud HQ to discuss the practice and lenticular substations applications.

[00:14:59] Early this month at the Metropolitan Washington Air Quality Committee meeting, I learned that the Commonwealth has submitted its second 10-year regional haze plan to the Environmental Protection Agency. The plan details strategies to reduce air pollution, causing haze and improved visibility.

[00:15:16] There was a very interesting presentation about the potential link between air pollution and Parkinson's disease. More research is needed, but preliminary studies seem to suggest there's a link. The Disability Services Board elected a new chair and vice chair for 2026.

[00:15:37] Ms. Bobbi Desai is the new chair, and Ms. Kara Yarnott is the new vice chair. And I just want to wish everyone happy holidays, happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and everyone have a safe and hopefully you're with family and friends and that you all can have some time to rejuvenate.

[00:16:09] Thank you, Madam Chair. Ms. Clash, you didn't say it. You say it every year. You have to say it this year. You can't. It's a tradition now. You have to say happy festivus. That's right. Happy festivus for the rest of us. There you go. She says it every year, of course.

[00:16:28] I can't miss that. Mr. Letourneau. And Rob Reiner was the director, the producer, that got that show on the air. Oh. There you go. Two disclosures, December 9th and 10th, I spoke with Colleen Gillis of Curata about potential impacts of the Route 50 and Loudoun County Parkway interchange on the Dulles Landing South application LEGIE 2023-0081.

[00:17:01] Just by way of comments, first of all, I appreciate all my colleagues and all the work that the board's done this year. I've said to a few of you privately what I'll say publicly, which is that usually the first two years of a board's term are a little bit easier than the last two as we creep closer to election season and all the things that come with that.

[00:17:24] So it becomes even more challenging to sort of keep the group together and focused and working as we should be collaboratively with each other. So I know that that is everybody's intention, and I hope that that will, in fact, be the case.

[00:17:41] but it's something that you have to be deliberate about or it won't happen, truthfully. And I've been on boards where it hasn't happened so well, and I've been on boards where it's been great. So hopefully we will be one of those. There is a lot to do still, and I think we continue to be a place where residents can come in and be heard, where we can put politics aside and put the national conversations, which get more and more, I don't know what the word is, difference, unlike anything we've

[00:18:18] seen, whatever the word is, by the day, but we don't need to model that, and we don't. And so I think we can continue to be a place where we productively serve the residents of Loudoun, and I'm looking forward to it. Have a great holiday season, everybody.

[00:18:35] Thank you, sir. Mr. Crony. Thank you, Chair Randall. So, for disclosures, on December 4th, I met with the applicants for the Happy Paws application. On December 4th, a member of my staff attended the Pontovic community meeting hosted by the applicant.

[00:18:55] And on December 8th, a member of my staff attended a pre-meeting for Spoonbill Energy Storage. So, I want to say thank you to Rabbi Cohen for inviting me to the menorah lighting at One Loud Inn for Hanukkah.

[00:19:12] really enjoyed that. It was quite festive, but it was also very cold. I know Chair Randall and Supervisor Glass went out in the cold and joined us. And Amstad, yes, you were there too.

[00:19:28] So we all braced ourselves for the cold and attended that. It was very festive, and I'm glad I was there. And then on Saturday, I went and did some shopping in the town of middleberg at the small businesses and there are some wonderful shops there there's a really unique christmas shop that i would encourage everybody to go check out they have some really unique presents and gifts from germany so i would i would encourage everybody to shop local and shop small if you can this christmas especially if you're looking for that last minute gift i want to wish

[00:20:07] everybody a happy holiday, whether you're celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, or another holiday, or simply enjoying time with family and friends. I hope this season brings you peace, good health, and lots of joy. Thank you for everyone for making Loudoun such a wonderful place to live, work, learn, and call home. May your days be filled with laughter, warmth, and meaningful moments. And as we look ahead to the new year, may it bring you continued hope, happiness and opportunity for the entire community thank you thank you miss umstep thank you madam

[00:20:44] chair um i have no disclosures uh so i want to thank supervisor letourneau for his comments and i want to thank him for always being so gracious um to the rest of us who are not of his party and And I will say the same about my colleague, Supervisor Kirshner.

[00:21:06] Both of them are wonderful to work with, as is everybody on the board. But especially for these two who are in a political minority, they're always wonderful. I echo Supervisor Tacroni's thanks to Rabbi Cohen and his wife, Yehudas, And all, I think, six of their children who were there at the Hanukkah celebration and menorah lighting.

[00:21:37] And I want to thank county staff for putting up on social media a Hanukkah message. That, as I'm sure I'm not the only supervisor who heard from multiple members of the Jewish community.

[00:21:57] But in light of what just happened at Bondi Beach and other anti-Semitic attacks around the world, that meant a lot to people to see the county acknowledging them and supporting them.

[00:22:14] So thank you to staff for putting the Hanukkah greeting up. The folks who attended, we had about, I think, 80 people. It was bitterly cold. It was 16 degrees, and a member of my family looked at the photo in one of the local papers and said, you guys look like you're in northern Minnesota in the middle of a blizzard.

[00:22:41] But Chair Randall was there, Supervisor Glass, Supervisor Tacroni were all there, along with Leesburg Town Council members, Neal Steinberg and Todd Simeno Johnson, And then, of course, Congressman Suha Subramaniam.

[00:23:02] So that meant a lot to Rabbi Cohen to have folks come out on that cold an evening. It was, as Supervisor Tacroni said, a really wonderful event.

[00:23:18] I also would like to thank Mark Levine and Julie Strauss-Levine for being in attendance. Politically, I don't think they much care for the party I'm a member of. But Mark Levine went out of his way to say it was good to see both Republicans and Democrats coming out to a menorah lighting.

[00:23:43] I wish everybody a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a wonderful New Year. Thank you. Mr. Sainz. Thank you, Madam Chair. by way of disclosures met with Digital Realty this morning regarding their application they'll be coming to us um off of 606 um in regards to the end of the year I can't believe we are here at the end of the year just seems like yesterday we were getting ready to go into August break but nonetheless here we are so uh enjoy uh the you know if everybody spends time with their

[00:24:18] their loved ones family friends and also have some time for themselves because we all do live pretty busy lives but like stop and reflect on the good bad and the ugly of this year and how we can do better and strive to make this uh this county this this commonwealth this country and this world a better place for all of us and and leave it uh better than what we found it when we were here um in regards to some of the recent events it was disheartening to to read the comments

[00:24:55] from the president, but I guess if you've been reading his comments, it's not surprising, unfortunately, but here I am every time when I read some of his comments, I'm like, wow, he's disappointed me again with some of his commentary, and somebody posted recently that if you don't have anything good to say, and I'm sure you've all heard this as we're growing up, if you don't have anything good to say about anybody, probably shouldn't say anything at all, and hopefully somebody will get that message to our president.

[00:25:33] Yeah, it's no secret. They definitely had a difference of opinions, which is fine. But again, if you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, don't you just keep your hands in your pockets. It wasn't long ago where another unfortunate incident took place and comments were made that people didn't like and people were pretty much saying the exact same thing.

[00:25:56] So let's maybe follow that advice. when it happens to somebody that's not in your good favor and grace. With that, we're closing out 2025. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah.

[00:26:11] Happy Kwanzaa. And I'll follow the same thing as Supervisor Glass. Happy Festivus to the rest of us. Enjoy. Thank you. Supervisor Brixman. Thank you, Madam Chair.

[00:26:29] I did want to start with the gun violence archives, but now my computer is closing on me. I will say there's a little bit of good news in that data that we are about 14,000 folks killed by gun violence this year, and last year it was like 16,000.

[00:26:47] So we're going in the right direction, and the mass shootings in our country have also dropped from over 524 to about 393 this year. So I will leave it at that. I attended the NACO South Region meeting today, which was very interesting.

[00:27:07] We discussed a couple different things, but one of the things we discussed was how to build affordable housing on county land. And thanks to the past president, Denise Winfrey, she started a lot of initiatives, and the first report is out, and it is entitled Building Affordable Housing on County Land.

[00:27:26] And it was interesting to discuss and share some of the things that we've done in our county. I also, as the South Region Representative for Women of NACO, was able to talk about what we're doing at Women of NACO. And one of the things we're working on is bringing students down to D.C. for the February Legislative Conference.

[00:27:49] And it's a new program, a very new program that we're working on through Women of NACO. So I was proud to share that. Earlier today, I joined Governor Youngkin and Senator Perry and a couple other General Assembly members to attend the opening of the Polar Vet Center in Warrington, Veteran's Services Center.

[00:28:11] And it is an incredible, incredible site, and I learned so much about what happened there on Vent Hill and on that property and about the Polar family. And that site will be servicing veterans from Loudoun County.

[00:28:30] So it was a really good visit and ribbon cutting. I wanted to share that I have been listening to Burn Order by Rachel Maddow. And if you haven't listened to it, it's all about the internment of the Japanese citizens during World War II and the threads that follow through to today.

[00:28:51] I have two new heroes. Ralph Carr, former governor of Colorado, who stood up during that time, and Fred Kuramatsu, who took his case all the way to the Supreme Court to fight for what our Constitution says our citizens deserve as far as due process. It's really, really, really good podcast if you get a chance. I will be rooting for the Buckeyes and the Dukes in the playoffs, in the bowl games coming up. I hope everyone enjoys your holidays with your family and friends, and please get some rest and Take care of yourself and enjoy yourself, and I will be in Maine hoping for snow.

[00:29:28] Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Kirshner. Thank you, Madam Chair. In terms of disclosures, December 11th, me and my staff met with the applicant for Digital Dulles Campus Special Realty, or Special Exception, excuse me. I don't have a lot of comments to say, but I do want to kind of end of the year, so let's kind of wrap up.

[00:29:49] I do want to send a special thank you out to all the staff, especially those who stay here late. at these meetings, who work hard, who meet with us, who give us briefings, my personal staff, obviously all the staff here that work directly with the supervisors. Oftentimes your work is overlooked, but the truth of the matter is we could not do the job without all of your incredible diligence. So I really wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and all the things that come with this time of year and the holidays. So please try to get some rest and reprieve from all the

[00:30:23] work I thank you thank Matt Mr. Letourneau for his comments I do think we as a as a board as a general rule have a really good um what how would they say Christmas spirit where we often are are very kind to each other we may have difference in agreement but I think as a general rule we do defer in terms of um respecting each each other's opinions even though we may have it very different I think that's probably very different than a lot of boards and certainly prior boards that have been here before.

[00:30:51] So hopefully we can carry that into the next difficult years, as Mr. Letourneau says the next two are going to be. Before 2016. Well, yes. And as part of that staff, thank you. Merry Christmas.

[00:31:06] Thank you, Mr. Hemistry, and obviously, Leo, for all the hard work that you guys have done and your leadership that you've provided to us. So I appreciate that. In terms of the Kirshner household, going to we're entering into the lambing season this here in the next week or so gonna have lots of little lambs running around um unfortunately because i had to get a grading permit my barn's not ready yet i thought i'd just throw that out there but uh i am we are on our way it will be ready in time for the lambs to run around the spring we hope fingers crossed um but we have about 10 ewes that are going to give birth to a bunch of little lambs running around

[00:31:44] and the boys are very excited about that but more excited they are that we're expecting baby number seven we don't know if come july 4th so we i don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet the boys want a girl and mama says no i just want a boy because i got lots of boy clothes running around so that's the christmas news at the kirschner household so merry christmas to all and happy new year thank you vice chair turner thank you madam chair on tuesday december 16th 2025 my staff and i spoke with

[00:32:21] Colleen Gillis and Molly Novotny from Curata and Frank Palmer to discuss the application regarding the National Conference Center. I was fortunate enough to join Chair Randall and Supervisor Glass on, was it Friday when we lit the tree?

[00:32:37] Yes. At One Loud? Yes. We lit the tree at One Loud, and second year I've done it. It's a hoot, two or three hundred kids out there to meet Santa, and it was a lot of fun. And I did something this year, the second time I've done it, and I really liked the results. So I gave the kids a homework assignment.

[00:32:53] You can imagine the groans that went through the audience when I said I was going to give them a homework assignment. And I said, every day from now until January 1st, I want each of you to do one kind thing. Doesn't matter what it is. It can be something small, but you got to do one kind thing.

[00:33:09] And if you want to get a little calendar, take it home with you and mark off your kind thing for that day, then that's good. It can be saying thank you at Starbucks and let me challenge you, say thank you. and they always have the name written on their apron, say thank you and use their name. Because as we used to teach in Dale Carnegie, the sweetest, most important sound in any language is a person's name.

[00:33:29] And hold a car door open for somebody. Help somebody with their bags at the grocery store. It can be really simple. But if you consciously think about it, it's amazing how uplifting it is. My daughter has a habit of paying for the car behind her in the Starbucks drive-up line.

[00:33:47] And she really likes doing that. It's anonymous, and it's a lot of fun. I was in Starbucks on Thanksgiving Day, and the crew was working on Thanksgiving Day. And before I left, I gave each person on the crew $20. And it just made their day, and it made my day to watch them.

[00:34:05] So everybody, challenge yourself. Do one kind thing. And have a lovely, safe, wonderful, joyous holiday season. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Biteshire Turner. And I did mention two things I forgot to mention that I did.

[00:34:21] I attended the Legislators and Locks from the Greater Washington Jewish Council. It's always an interesting discussion, and I gave Jonathan the information about what the Jewish community would like to see in the legislative agenda this year. I also attended the Our Lady of Guadalupe church service with Father Daniel, which was phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal.

[00:34:45] And this year, the Shar School of Policy and Government Regional Elected Leaders Initiative. I was one of the awardees of the Regional Collaboration Award. And it was a really interesting event because part of the event, Luke Torian, who was the chair of the House Finance Committee, and David Ramadan, who was a former delegate who who we all know, did kind of a talk about bipartisanship and things like that.

[00:35:18] And they talked about the culture of the country right now and how it's so divided. And I did keep thinking about our board, not just this board, but our board going back a couple of terms. I have been told, and I take great pride, that our board does, as far as collaboration and just respect to how we treat each other, I think we do very well, and I appreciate that very much.

[00:35:42] And, you know, you don't have to agree with somebody to be respectful to them. I do hear the question, you know, you and Caleb really, like, friends? I hear that question, and I'm like, I say the same thing. I cannot stand him. I don't know where you get that from, but he's just, no.

[00:35:59] But I do get that question a lot, and I take that as a compliment to our board. I will also say that, you know, as we talk about the absolute horror on Bondi Beach, I'm going to read the words of former speaker Eileen Fillicorn. She said, the images and videos that stood out from that horrific anti-Semitic terror attack of Bondi Beach were harnessed for a long time.

[00:36:22] Amid the horror and chaos, one moment stands out. The extraordinary courage of Ahmad El Ahmad, a 40-year-old father of two who bravely risked his life to protect his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah, and he saved countless lives. Ahmad Al Ahmad happens to be a Muslim man who risked his life saving Jewish citizens and was shot twice because of it.

[00:36:44] You cannot tell me that there is not good in the world when we have, of course, the tragedy of the shooting, but the amazingness of a man in a faith that has seen lots of conflict risk his life and get shot twice to save his Jewish neighbors is an incredible thing to happen.

[00:37:07] I do want to finally thank the staff, Mr. Hemstreet, Mr. Rogers, and all the staff. You all, I say it all the time, we're the best staff in the country, and you all do amazing work. So thank you. And say to my colleagues, we're at halftime. We have the second half of the game to play. I am so proud to serve with you all.

[00:37:24] I think we've done great work. Let's keep doing great work. And I am so pleased to be your colleague. And as always, Loudoun County, thank you for allowing me the privilege of being your county chair. Mr. Turner, would you like to read us into closed session?

[00:37:41] Absolutely, Madam Chair. I move that the Board of Supervisors recess this public meeting and enter into closed session pursuant to Section 2.23711 of the Code of Virginia to consult with legal counsel employed or retained by a public body regarding a specific legal matter requiring the provision of legal advice by such counsel pertaining to the acceptance of grants.

[00:38:01] I further move that the Board of Supervisors recess this public meeting and enter into closed session pursuant to section 2.23711 of the Code of Virginia to consider a personnel matter involving the annual performance review of the county administrator and the county attorney. Motion to remain. Second by Supervisor Briggs for discussion on the motion. All in favor say aye.

[00:38:20] Aye.

[00:38:52] Any opposed? That motion will pass 9-0. Anyone's looking at you?

[03:54:32] Isn't this wonderful? Yes. All right, you ready? Yes. I move that the closed session be adjourned. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We are back in session, and Mr. Turner, would you read us out of closed session? I move that the closed session be adjourned, that the Board of Supervisors reconvene to its public meeting, that the minutes of the public meeting should reflect that no formal action was taken in the closed session.

[03:54:54] Further move that the resolution certifying the closed session be adopted and reflected in the minutes of this public meeting. Motion's main seconded by Supervisor Bricksman. All in favor say aye. Aye. That motion will pass 9-0. Would everybody please affirm? Ms. Glass?

[03:55:09] Affirm. And I affirm as well. Supervisors, please, as I was just saying, I want to remind everybody that this is our last business meeting. Our next business meeting, we will be in different seats.

[03:55:25] So, all right. We are adjourned and Merry Christmas.
