1. President Mark McConn called the regular meeting of the Sully District Council to order at 7:00 p.m. at the Sully District Governmental Center, 4900 Stonecroft Blvd., VA 20151.
   Note that as absentee balloting was taking place at the Sully Government Facility up until 7:30 the night of the meeting, we were informed that we could not discuss Transportation issues while the polls were open as there was a transportation referendum on the ballot. To accommodate this restriction, the Land Use issue was discussed first, followed by the Membership meeting.
