you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you Thank you. I'd like to call to order the talent council regular meeting for Tuesday, September 10th, 2024, all rise for the national anthem. I'm the part of the United States of America, and to suit your public for which it stands, one nation under God, in indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I got ahead of myself. I was just leaving the press release for the basketball. But with that, are there any agenda amendments approvals? Yes, I'd like to make a motion amendment. I move to make an amendment to the September 10, 2024 agenda as follows. Move from action items 9b through 9f to the consent agenda, it would be 5h through 5l. You want to move the consent action item? 9b through 9f to the consent where they were originally on the green reminere. F. Back to the consent agenda. Consent agenda so it'd be 5H through 5L. Okay. Okay. So there will be five. H. And Mr. Mayor, I'm being pointed out that we need a roll call vote on that motion. Absolutely. Getting to that right now. So the note is if council members request to move edit the lead any item on the agenda, the motion should be read and voted upon per each request made by town council. So may I get someone to read that into roll call? I second that. Okay. Discussion. Roll call. Second by vice mayor. Rainer motion made by councilmember Williams. Open for discussion council Councilmember Bertot. I was going to instead move that we strike items 5c through 5f from the consent agenda. These are all related to funding request for, you're loud in county for a number of different projects. And we got the details on these projects on Friday, although the request from the County originally came to the town on July 11. The first detailed information that we got on each one of these came to us on Friday. So I believe it's appropriate to keep them as those four that as C through F as we of that. We have at present prior to this vote, we have a total of seven items under the consent agenda. And I believe that items 5c through 5f do not properly belong in the consent agenda and that they should be treated as action items with at least a little bit of discussion for each on. You want to strike it from the consent agenda and move it to where? They're already in place as action items in the action item section. No, they are different items. One is asking money from Loudoun County, and the others are approval of easement agreements and budget amendments. Five are the budget amendments. Nine is requesting money. So they're different. Not really. Okay. Understood. Thank you. Okay. So as it stands, I'd like to distract discussion on what? My motion. OK. Continue with the discussion. I'm the one that sort of asked to have action items, the consent to action. Because this was the first time I got to see any of those. The big one I would like to leave on and I'll make a friendly amendment is to leave 9E as a accident. So we'll be up for discussion first. I'll be writing that one. So you're saying move 9BC. 9BC. We've got and then move E ECD and F over. That's what we're gonna say. Let me finish guys. Move BCDF to the consent agenda and leave E in the action items. Is that correct? That'd be my friendly. Yes. Okay. Yes. All right. So with that, will you accept the friendly amendment, customer and Williams? Yes, I accept it. It's motion made, friendly amendment accepted by customer and Williams. Can I get a second on the friendly amendment accepted by Councilman Williams. Can I get a second on the friendly amendment acceptance? Oh, I'll second that. Councilman Williams, how do you vote? Yes. Councilman Ristout, how do you vote? Yes. Councilman Ralook, how do you vote? Yes. Councilman Burto, how do you vote? Yes. Councilman Wright, how do you vote? Yes. Councilmember Bertot, how do you vote? Yes. Councilmember Wright, how do you vote? Yes. Vice Mayor Raina, how do you vote? Yes. Mayor Vosha, motion carried 7-0. Any further discussion on any other items that may decide removed or amended. There are none. We move on to the consent agenda. I believe we have to adopt the meeting agenda first. Okay. As amended. So I move that the town council adopt the agenda of September 10th, 2024, as amended. That was second. Motion made by Councilor Williams. Second by Councilor Wright. Councilor Williams, how do you vote? Yes. Councilor Stout, how do you vote? Yes. Councilor Luke, how do you vote? Yes. Councilor Bertot, how do you vote? Yes. Councilor Wright, how do you vote? Yes.

Second by Vice Mayor Smyra Reiner, motion made by Councilman Williams. Councilman Williams, how do you vote? Yes. How do you vote? How do you vote? Yes. How do you vote? Yes. How do you vote?

We will forward the certificates to them of appreciation as well. The next partner of the organization for ARC Loudon. We have representatives, Rens Green and Robin McLaughlin, who are joining us from the ARC. Whereas the ARC of Loudon is a 501C3 nonprofit organization founded in Percival in 1967 serving people with disabilities of all kinds across the region. And whereas the Ark of Loudon includes five integrated comprehensive and direct service programs co-located on its campus in Leesburg historic district including Ability Fitness Center, the Ally Advocacy Center, the Aurora Behavior Clinic, the Aurora School, and the Open Door Learning Center. And whereas the Arc of Loudens Ability Fitness Center hosts the annual Billy Gray Memorial Golf Tournament fundraiser, named in honor of the late town of Percival Resident Fitness Center co-founder Billy Gray, and is held at the Loud and Golf in Country Club adjacent to town limits. And whereas the Ark of Loud and Programs serve personal students and clients, and in some cases provide the only available services for those individuals to receive those services in annual serving more than 5,000 people across the region, with each of the Ark of Loud and Programs issuing waiting lists for each of its programs. And whereas the ARC of Loudens is an important partner to many other organizations in the community, including nonprofits based in Percival. And whereas the ARC of Loudens continued viability and growth are crucial to supporting some of the most vulnerable members of the town of Percival's community. Now therefore, be it resolved that the Percival Town Council expresses a support for the ARC of Loudens and recognizes the vital importance of its services for people with disabilities. The council calls upon the trustees of the Margaret Paxton Memorial for convalescent children to act in good faith with the arc of loud end to ensure its long term stability and ability to grow in order to meet the needs for its services. Be it resolved, the town of Percival does hereby proclaim support for the Ark of Loudon on this 10th day of September 2024. Thank you all so much. The Ark of Loudon was founded actually here in Percival, so it was really nice to have your support today. I know the golf department was mentioned, there's still four sums available, but we are beyond grateful and we are committed to the services and the children and all the programs that we serve to support people with disabilities in our community, so thank you. Hi, I'm Tia. Oh, thank you. I'm going to go to the next room. Moving on to action item seven, citizen business comments. Are there any citizen business comments? One. Okay, so you can go ahead and get the staff. Okay, so we have a question. One. Okay, so Chapman in the Kisco. Okay, so Chapman in the Kisco. Okay, so Chapman in the Kisco. Okay, so Chapman in the Kisco. Okay, so Chapman in the Kisco. Okay, so Chapman in the Kisco. Okay, so Chapman in the community participate in our committee commissions awards Pat on the bar. I mean he served for a very long time and It's people that are active like that that really make it impact and so it's Hard to see these people go, but it's great to see new perspectives come in But I wish them the best the Same thing with Nan, I think she only conducted her meetings with the utmost professionalism and held a very high standard to the way the meetings were rammed. And again, I think it goes to what it takes in a community to build one and that's the people that live in it and that community requires volunteers to serve on these committee commission supports. You know, not a resident, but I appreciate all those residents that do come out to serve on those boards. I've seen some initiatives by the town and some of the committee commission supports permit me out of town residents or business owners, maybe not properties to participate. I think that's an added benefit to the town and additional perspective. Definitely should not weigh the residents, but you know, the additional perspective I think is value game for the town and additional perspective. Definitely shouldn't outweigh the residents, but the additional perspective, I think, is value game for the town. Right now, personal faces a pretty pivotal point on where it's gonna go. And I think that what comes out of these boards are a product of a lot of hard work and time. However, it is so important to view that body of work and make sure it is in true alignment with the council's agenda initiatives for the betterment of the town and its citizens residents. It aligns with new staff and hires and their professional and perspectives and years in the industry and putting all those together to make a plan that makes sense to advance personal into the future, whatever that may be. You know, a lot of times I get portrayed as just being an advocate for massive growth or large scale development. When in fact, it is just what can we do that's practical and that can be within reason to advance our town. I'm not trying to lose the character of Perseville or manipulate it. In fact, I've stood in front of this body and still today, stand in front and say, if there's any way that I'm able to work with the town to create a vision that is truly in line with the residents, businesses, council, staff, and do that, I'm more than happy to engage and hopefully each one of you know that I am available and open to that line of communication to achieve that angle. The new water line being put in, I see, is a positive. That's a town ran project. I don't know how it's going, it appears to be going well. It's greatly needed. If you see the pipes that are being removed, everyone would probably be like, thank God, this is happening. Those pipes look horrible. So great job to staff for identifying. You know, the water tower going up, I think it's a huge, you know, massive stepping stone for the town in the right direction. And it's just exciting as a long-term resident of West Flamme County an active member in our community to see us taking the right steps to the things that matter which the public safety water sewer right that's where it's at supporting our staff to get it done and taking the votes to pass things to allow them to have the tools to get it done. With that, I yield back all this remaining time and thank you. All right, thank you. Are there any more comments from the public? No? Okay. Moving right along to the agenda for Mayor Council comments. That's my words. Okay. for Mayor Council comments. That's my wish. Okay, first of all, welcome back one and all, and I hope everybody had somewhat restful of a recess. Big shout out to our police department when the light was malfunctioning right during rush hour to school. And they had to direct traffic for all those students, teachers, and just people getting out of town. So thank you. And also thank you to the police department and the first responders for dealing with the accident this morning right onto the ramp onto 7 East. They were there quickly and it was cleaned up quickly. So we do appreciate that. Constitution Week as a former government teacher, I love Constitution Week. And I will tell you the kids the best part they loved was the rights of the accused. Finding out what could happen or not happen. And then on a more serious note, tomorrow is an anniversary of 9-11. We'll all remember where we were. This was just posted. On this day, 23 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10 a.m. on September 11th, 2001. In one single moment, life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today, and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted. Thank you. Thank you, Councilmember Stout. Great, great you made me cry. Mm-hmm. Great, great, you made me cry. All right, welcome back from recess, everyone. No counsel didn't meet in August. Good things continue to happen in our town thanks to our amazing staff. We had a wonderful national night out and got to meet residents of many communities throughout town. Our first responders do an excellent job of engaging with our community and are always there for us on our worst days. I can speak to this personally after members of my family were T-bone back in July on her strove. I remain grateful for the duties our first responders perform for our residents. Speaking of first responders, I want to extend a big welcome to our new Deputy Chief of Police, Sarah Lombrania. We're grateful to have you on board and we look forward to the great things we know you'll bring to the town. So, very pass that one along. Also, in August, after a very thorough and rigorous review, the town's credit rating with FITCH was upgraded to triple A, the highest possible rating. The credit for this achievement undoubtedly goes to our hardworking and award winning finance staff. You navigated this process with a high degree of competence in your field and professional excellence and the result brings great credit on the town. For events, we have the September 11th Remembrance ceremony tomorrow night and hail to the trail coming up next Sunday. So mark your calendars for both. Thank you, Councilor Luke. I'd like to thank Mary Jane for reading that about 9-11. I think all of us here remember that day and remember exactly where we were and the things that we did that day. And the change it made into everybody's life, and I'm grateful for that Mary Jane. It was very significant for all of us. We had a close meeting earlier this week. And it turned out to be a surprise for me. Not a meeting I would have anticipated going the way it did. And in reflection of that, I would like to read in our conduct for committees and commissions avoid during either public or private meetings and during the preponderance of public duties, the use of abusive threatening or intimidating language or gestures directed toward colleagues, citizens or staff. I think what the conduct of the board and commissions brings out is that we are supposed to act more as a team unless as different tribes. And I was exposed to something I've never been exposed to in a town council meeting and I'd sure like not to have it happen again. Thank you. Councillor Marie Brito. Councilmember Oto. Welcome everyone back to our regular first regular town council meeting after the August recess. I know that a lot has been going on even in the absence of town council meetings and extend my thanks to all of those who are doing all that important work in the meantime. Also I'd like to extend my thanks to Council Member Williams for what she said about 9-11. I can firmly remember exactly where I was at that time. And those events are still seared in my memory. The remembrance ceremony itself is tomorrow evening at 6.30 pm at the teardrop and all are welcome. And I also like to welcome everyone, extended invitation to a hail to the trail which is upcoming this weekend. This is in celebration of Arbor Day, and it runs from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Chapman to Mary Trail. Next I'd like to extend my thanks to the town manager for forwarding on fairly short notice, the level of service data for the Eastgate Drive Route 287 intersection improvements. There are subject of an item on our agenda this evening. I've already asked in advance the town clerk if they can include that Kimmy Horne study with its recommendations in the written minutes of this meeting. Why am I so interested in this? Well data like this is vital to making and must and we must immediately communicate this data to the citizens because they form the basis for the decisions that this town council makes. I believe also that we owe it to the residents and to the spirit of transparency to tell them how much improvement they can expect from any project. In this way, we can have assurance that we're acting where the informed consent of the people of this town. And by the way, the alternative chosen takes the level of service at that intersection from an F, which is a multi-multiminate delay during rush hour down to a level of A, which is a delay of a few minutes. So it's a much needed improvement, but it was also useful to see how it stacked up against the other alternatives that were considered. We've already heard a little bit about civility. I suppose we should expect a little mud-slinging from time to time since we're in campaign season, but I just want to caution everyone not to let behavior cross the border into abusive or criminal behavior. I want everyone to focus on offering solutions to our town's problems, out of making excuses for previously held opinions. That's my right. Well the advantage is to be one of the last ones that they cubs everything you want to say so I don't have to repeat everything. So again tomorrow is a very solemn day so hope everybody takes a second. It takes a moment of silence, and members, those that are not here with the state because of what occurred on that day. Thank you, Mayor Morena. Thank you, and thank you, Mary Jane, for those lovely words, the support about tomorrow's solemn day. With all the negativity we read about constantly and concerns about our town, I really want to focus on all the positive and all the great things this town has and offers our community. For example, the proclamation we did tonight for the Arcola Loudon was a personal born nonprofit that supports our special needs community. We also have so many more wonderful nonprofits based in our town whose mission is supporting our community members who need it the most. Tree of life, better of life, Virginia Regional Transit, a view from Heaven Farm, and many, many, many more than I'm failing to mention right now. And the latest of great community ads is just today, we added another wonderful organization to our sporting community. A semi-professional basketball team, the Virginia Valley Vipers. They are coming to Percival and they will be playing at Patrick Henry College. They are in the TBA, the third largest basketball league in the US. This is an incredibly exciting organization to add and morph and it has family-friendly sporting fund for our entire community. We already love our cannons and now we can also love the vipers. Welcome to Percival. Thank you. Well most everyone took my thunder. So I will continue on a positive note but I may end it on a negative connotation here. But good evening everybody. Welcome back from the August recess. A lot of good things happened in the month of August that was memorable and favorable for the betterment of the town. I would like to welcome Deputy Chief Sarah Lombraña to the town of Percival. Deputy Chief Lombraña joins us after 12 years of service with the Colonial Beach Police Department. The last seven of those as their Deputy Chief welcome Sarah. Next I would like to announce the town's newest committee members. The town council appointed Sandra Plasters, Ryan Ruzik, and Stan Heideman to the Economic Development Advisory Committee. And Matthew Davis, Ryan Feber, and William Hombach to the Planning Commission. Welcome everyone. The vice mayor stated the Virginia Valley Vipers will be coming to Perseville for their march through June basketball season playing at Patrick Henry. We had a press release today. It was surprised to me see how it went. I felt like I was on the NBA channel presenting this to the town of Perth. Students from Patrick Henry were there, the administrators were there, and the media was there. It was quite different. It was broadcast on Instagram. So, on my Instagram, I'm still Instagram celebrity again I guess. But welcome it's going to serve the community well and They're really enthusiastic and excited about coming to personal from Winchester Please to share some exciting news this evening again on August 23rd the town received notice that Fitch upgraded Percival's credit rating from AA plus to AAA. As Councilmember Stout said, the highest possible rating. This upgraded credit rating will enhance our access to credit markets at favorable interest rates, which is particularly important for funding major capital infrastructure projects through bonds. A special thanks to our financial consultants, our award-winning finance team, and to the town council for the dedication and hard work in helping us achieve this outstanding milestone. I'm also pleased to announce that the intersection improvement project on main and maple is now complete. The new signal head allowed for a dedicated left turn for Northbound traffic on Maple Avenue, which should significantly improve traffic flow and enhance safety at the intersection. Thank you for Andrea and the team for bringing another project to completion. Another update. Free Google Wi-Fi has been installed throughout the town at the following locations. 21st Street from the train station to Main Street. The Bush tabernacle, Fireman Phil and Dylan's Woods. The staff team is working with Google to coordinate and a date and location for an official announcement of this new service. Our special thanks to Vice Mayor Rainer for bringing this initiative to person. Residents may now, OK, can I have a few more minutes? Let's speak for a short. This is 412 Street. It's in process. It will last for one year. So, be anticipating more traffic stops, and that's it. Thank you. Moving on. Action item 98. Redify action to participate in the CROGAR National opioid settlement, Mr. Cafferke. Members of Council, you should have a brief memo for me concerning this as well as one from several weeks ago, this is another of the national opioid settlements of a time that you previously approved in regards to some other national companies. The settlement does essentially provide benefits to loud county, which in terms of mental health services and things of that nature. has been as the last one was recommended strongly by the Attorney General by Loudoun County. There was a as you know call there was a there was a relatively short fuse on having this approved and so I know there was a stronghold taken to confirm that the town manager in the absence of action by the council could execute the necessary paperwork is here for you to ratify the action that is taken by the town manager of background August 6. Okay. Yeah, remember that? It was just to include ourselves into that correct class action suit. And I will say just in case anybody wants to ask a question, what have you changed your mind? You could do that, but it's the kind of thing where you didn't get in the necessary paperwork by August 12. You'd have no opportunity to participate in the senate. And so you could opt out of it, but honestly, you know, there's no reason for you to do that. It's a complete, you know, it's a, to the extent that the town has received benefit from settlement as was true with the last one, it's a, it's done cost the town anything and, you know, has at least the prospect of providing some resources. Okay. Any questions from the council? That's my Williams. Council member Estelle. No questions. Council member Luke. No questions. Councilmember Williams. Councilmember Estelle. No questions. Councilmember Luke. No questions. Councilmember Rato. No questions. Councilmember Wright. Vice-Mirainer. No. Okay. Now we may add a motion to... I move that the town council ratify the decision to participate in the new National Opioid settlement with Kroger. I give a second. Second. Second by Council Member Stout, motion made by Council Member Bertot. Council Member Williams, how do you vote? Yes. Council Member Stout, how do you vote? Yes. Council Member Luke, how do you vote? Yes. Council Member Bertot, how do you vote? Yes. Council Member Wright, how do you vote? Yes. Vice Mayor Raina, how do you vote? Yes. Mayor votes, yes. Motion carries. 7-0. Moving on to 9-B. Request to Lawn County for Capital Improvement Program funding. Berlin, turn, bike, and escape drive. Intersection improvements. Andrea. Roger, please. Jessica is going to go and talk about that. Party me? No, that was a stay. That's why I was taking my time and figuring it out. A lot of skill movement. Oh, Jessica. Okay. of the show movement. Joseph is going to update you. Oh, Jessica. OK. That's your questions. OK, Jessica, your show. I'm going to make Mary Tom Hensow. So the project for discussion is the Group 2A7 East Day Drive Intersection Improvements at a existing project that's currently in. Is it Mike's on so I need to. You hear me now. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. So route 287 and East gave dry drive intersection improvements is an existing project currently in the town's capital improvement program as well as Loudoun County's capital improvement program. But it is known as Berlin Turnpike Traffic Signal. That was the current name of it. So with this year's Loudoun County's request for CIP funding, engineering staff identified this as a good candidate because it's an existing project that needs additional funding. So originally when this project we applied for this project in 2018 and the funding was allocated for this fiscal year, actually a fiscal year 25 and it was based on a level service F at Eastgate and Patrick Henry Circle. And one of the potential solutions was a traffic signal at that time. But anyways, using some surplus county funding that the county let us transfer to this project, we have advanced this project. And in the fact that we have completed a study, a detailed report, which I think we're going to include in the minutes. Which collect, we're a traffic data collected. We have approved traffic volumes from BDOT and we looked at a couple different alternatives for the intersection. And the report identified a two-lane hybrid roundabout as the preferred alternative and we have a rep order of magnitude of cost, total project cost about $3 million. And we only have, with 1.1, 1.2 million in the budget currently, again all loud and county funding. So we felt like this was an ideal candidate project for the loud and Request this year. So, okay. Open for discussion, council member Williams. Council member Stau. Just to make sure I understand this correctly, when we say two-lane hybrid roundabout, we're talking about something that's similar to what's close to Harris-Teter now, correct? No, Harris-Teter is a two-lane roundabout we're talking about something that's similar to what's close to Harris Teeter now correct? No, Harris Teeter is a two-lane roundabout. So a hybrid roundabout has two lanes in the principal direction, I wish I could pull this catch. I don't know if anyone is familiar with route 15, kind of north of, like by point of rocks, that's an example of a two Tulane hybrid where you're, but you go there and then it's two lanes in the principal direction, the north-south direction, and then the minor streets are one lane for circulating. Got it, thank you. Councilor Relouc. This was that we were looking for a more updated track Luke? Okay, so I'm going to go to the floor. Okay, so I'm going to go to the floor. Okay, so I'm going to go to the floor. Okay, so I'm going to go to the floor. Okay, so I'm going to go to the floor. Okay, so I'm going to go to the floor. Okay, so I'm going to go to the floor. Okay, so I'm going to go to the floor. Okay, so funding right now to take us all the way through design. We only need a little bit of right away probably from Patrick Henry College because the existing right away is very favorable there for us. And we had, I think, for construction, this school year 27, so that it is completed before Route 7 and two eighty seven intersection improvement interchange improvements begins. Yes, so if we if we start the design we have a study done that's what just was finished. If we start the design immediately we feel like we could get the full design completed and the project constructed prior to the 287 routes of an interchange. If we have the money for design currently, but if we wait to see if we have, we get the additional construction money, then we probably would not be able to complete it prior to the interchange project. So I guess what I'm saying is we're gonna plan on continuing with the design with the funds that we currently have and then hope we get that additional construction funding from Loudon County so we can build the project. Well, I have a question. If we don't get the money, then what? I have a question. If we don't get the money, then what? We'll have a 100% design project ready to build. And no money to do it. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm having to add that. Not this year, but next year is the binding cycle for V.Funding. This would be a good candidate because it is a nursing IP We already have funding towards it and we could just go for the construction funds. Okay, which has worked for us in the past Councilor right all right How do we know that we need this circle or this improvement after we'll be needed after this 7-287 intersection improvement is done. I mean, are we potentially putting money into something that the problem could go away if the 7-287 helps the traffic flow at that interchange specifically but not for Eastgate and Patrick Henry at all. Are you thinking that? I mean, so the roundabout is set up to totally flow into the interchange project. After the interchange project is done, there's going to be four lanes in that area and the way that this hybrid roundabout is, it'll just flow right in to what the interchange will be in the future. Also, the traffic analysis shows the level of service for 2028 and 2050 after the interchange is complete and a showing in a level of service of A. Okay. We're going to have them all for fixing the intersection. It's just a little weird that within a hundred to 200 yards down the road, V.Dot spending a boatload of money. And now we're having to add money to 200 yards down the road to fix an intersection. It just seems like a lack of communication participation or something between VDOT, the county and us. I mean, they're gonna be doing construction right there. I could only imagine that it wouldn't be cheaper to add this to their project with all the equipment there. Then now we're gonna bring in a whole bunch of other of a contractor contractor different equipment and add on to work that they're going to do. And most likely they're going to tear up some of what we just put in to have end up replacing it, but it just I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that we got these two major projects going side by side that are supposed to do the same thing. And we're putting money towards something that in my mind should be also part of the 7287 improvement interchange. I know common sense does working government. I know. So it just, we had asked the county to include this intersection in their project, but it was out of their scope, their area of scope of work and with their federal funding, they could add it into it, but that's part of the reason why they also have given us the money and for allowed us to use them the money for the design that we had. So they wouldn't include it. We are coordinating with Camp with the County to make sure that there's a couple of handicap ramps and stuff in the area saying, you're gonna include this in your project, we're gonna include this in our project that will be that coordination. So there will not be new work being torn up right after it is completed. So that coordination does happen. I can't say no to this because it makes sense to, but it just doesn't make sense to have it. It's two projects, one. And there's really nothing. Sorry. Oh, I got you. So, yeah. So, I see problems coming with the fact that we're doing construction work and everybody doing construction work on the two on your ass down the road. But y'all done you two diligence, I can question that, so that's in my questions. Nice to meet you, Rayna. I'm all for it. You know my love around about, so I think they're really efficient and I think they're great and we'll keep traffic going especially at that intersection. So I'm all great. I have the same concern as councilmember Wright about the proximity of the 287 seven in exchange project. My understanding is that that area is to be widened so traffic can continually flow north and traffic going on making a left onto highway seven will not have peed the northbound traffic. But the problem is that the current design, the current intersection is what is restricting the people and Eastgate from crossing 287s ago northbound and with the roundabout, I'm looking at fluid flow and that to me is a metered roundabout that was slow traffic down as it entered the roundabout for traffic going north, even though the traffic, improvement on 287-7, would allow faster traffic flow northbound. Then we have the roundabout at the Kentucky Circle Colonial, which is another means of metering traffic, going eastbound and westbound on to Main Street. So if this roundabout does not compliment the work at 7287, I'm thinking on the lines of councilman Wright that it may slow it down to where it's like again metered, throttled down because the roundabout will have to allow traffic to slowly enter go north of south. So there's some way to look at this from a, I guess, you guys did your due diligence on it to determine the benefit of the roundabout and such a close proximity to the widening on 7287. That's, that's my concern. I don't see spending good money after bad. It's similar to what we're looking at for 32nd Street with 7690, what quarter mile away, and then the West End with the Lawn County athletic complex traffic is gonna be metered in through 32nd Street, which may affect those two projects and if we throw money there, it doesn't benefit then it's a loss to funds and the same thing considered for the Eastgate roundabout. So if you guys think it'll work, they give us the money for it and you know I can go for that, but I'm concerned about it may not It may be a band-aid on the on the surgical wound So that's my comments, but I'm no engineer I Help you blow it up, but I can't fix it. But yeah, I've one followed question. Yes, I may. Did I hear you correctly? We're currently showing Level Service F, upon completion of the hybrid roundabout, and the upgrades of 277, we're showing Level Service A. Thank you. That's it around about itself, not the combination of the sevens and two-eighths of it, or is it both? No. It is for the intersection, but it takes in to account the traffic that is going through there and coming from the interchange. Currently or as advanced? Well, so your traffic study was done and it includes future conditions. And so it gave you, it currently is an F today. And if we do nothing to the interchange, it'll always be an F. Right. If we do the two lane hybrid roundabout, it will immediately become an A, and 2028, it will be an A, and in 2050 traffic projections, it will still be an A. Including the improvement with 7287. Is that considered in that evaluation? They use all, yes. Okay, that's all I need to know. Okay. Okay, I'm happy to make a motion, if you'd like. Yes, go right ahead. I move that the town council approved staff to move forward the Loudoun County CIP funding request for the Route 287 and Eastgate Drive Intersection Improvements Project and approve the attached resolution number 24-09-05 and authorize the town manager to execute set application for funds and to execute all project administration agreements for any approved projects. Second by Councillor Marlouk. Motion made by Councillor Marlouk. Councillor Williams, how do you vote? Yes. Councillor Stout, how do you vote? Yes Councilmember Williams, how do you vote? Yes. Councilmember Stout, how do you vote? Yes. Councilmember Luke, how do you vote? Yes. Councilmember Bertoe, how do you vote? Yes. Councilmember Wright, how do you vote? Yes. Vice-Mayer Rayna, how do you vote? Yes. Mayor votes, yes. Motion carries 70. Okay. That moves us to discussions. Oh, record. Future town council meetings and agenda topics. Last but not least, the only thing that I can do is our standing list of agenda items were tracked through the end of the year. Just to note, we did receive one I own request for discussion after the agenda packet went out and that is to discuss the limits in town. So what now? We have that. Speed limits. Speed limits in town. So we've added that to the September 24 agenda. Speed limits. Okay. Does that include the rumpel strips potentially on E Street? Or is that something different? I think it's open for discussion, just to have whatever you want to talk about as far as the world is concerned. Okay. Yeah. And I would like to also add there about the sidewalks. We have visited that in a while. We had a study done by Kimberly Horn several months ago, and we never went back to pull the string on that. Just could you have any update on that, or would you like to win till the next? You're asking about the pedestrian probably other stations that we adopted it at the May 28 meeting and then we're kind of I think we're gonna use it in the fall for our CIP when we develop that Fall is right I know you're right You'll be seeing it very soon month and a half two months years in your CIP but let's let's start looking at that because You'll be seeing it very soon. A month and a half, two months. That's what it is. That's yours and yours the hype being. But let's start looking at that, because as I go about walking the town, I'm hearing things in the community, and they're warning sidewalks and east street because the speed there is excessive and they're concerned about somebody. They possibly run off the road and hit them as they walk in the street rather than hit a curve and give them time to get out of the way possibly so we need to look at that again and determine where they really need sidewalks. All right. Anyone know? 70. So with me, this is the record. I love it. I'm just going to watch the debate. Get some pointers. Any other discussion? Comments? All right. Get someone to. I may have a point of order. Army? I might have a point of order. Final order. Final word. The motion I just made, I just realized I read out the agenda packet and not off of the cheat sheet and I read it as 09-05 and on the cheat sheet it as 0 9-0 5 and on the cheat sheet it says 0 9-0 6. Equipment for loudening the master. So do we need to redo that? 24-09-06 is the capital improvement program for downtown Matt. Well, so 0905 for 287 Eastgate Drive is listed on page 87 as 05. The emotion I made is for 05, but the motion in the staff packet. I'm looking at the wrong thing. You can just tell me to shut up. Pardon me, yeah. Yes, we're good. Mind me, please. Ignore me. We, we're good. Mind me. Ignore me. We all have our moments. Okay. But now I'd like to make a motion to adjourn. Thank you. I move to adjourn. All in favor? Oh, can I get a second? No, no. Second. Second? Bye, everyone. All in favor. All right. Motion carries, 7-0. We're standing adjourned. you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you I'm going to go to the next room.
