7. Old Business

8. New Business
   • Our new Sully Supervisor Kathy Smith has been working with both the Boards of the Sully District Council and members of the Western Fairfax County Citizens Association (WFCCA) to streamline the processing of land use cases in our district with the ultimate aim of having one land use meeting per month for all off Sully.
   • After a series of meetings, here's a summary of the new joint land use process:
   • Both WFCCA and SDC will hear the land use cases on the same night. Both groups will meet at the Sully Government Center the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30 pm. The McDonnell room has already been reserved.
   • The combined meetings will start on July 5th.
   • Cases will be scheduled by each President or his/her designee.
   • Our office will start notifying agents that come into our office of the new process and will refer them to either Jim Katcham or Mark McConn.
   • WFCCA will schedule applicants that are south of Rt. 50.
   • SDC will schedule applicants that are north of Rt. 50.
   • Cases can be heard by both groups.
   • Supervisor Kathy Smith's office will schedule a follow-up meeting this summer to review how things are progressing.
   • After considering the above items, we have made the following suggestions:
     • Start the meeting at 7 rather than 7:30
     • Finalize the agenda by a week before the meeting so that SDC can inform its membership speakers what time we expect to begin our regular meeting that will follow the land use meeting.
     • Plan on 30 minutes per case unless the respective committees believe more time will be necessary
     • That as cases are scheduled, the group scheduling a case/time informs the other group with the particulars so the next case is scheduled for a subsequent slot.
