Leesburg council approves consent agenda, endorses three VDOT projects in unanimous votes
Summary
At its July 22 meeting the Leesburg Town Council approved a multi-item consent agenda and unanimously endorsed three Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) project agreements and readouts, motions that passed 7-0.
The Leesburg Town Council on July 22 approved a seven-item consent agenda and unanimously endorsed three VDOT-related resolutions, the council said during its regular meeting.
The consent agenda passed on a single motion and covered 1) fiscal-year 2026 street maintenance and concrete/brick repair contracts, 2) a utility easement agreement for the Manors Apartments, 3) a purchase order for town vehicles from Apple Ford Inc., 4) a waterline extension from Sickland Road to Compass Creek, 5) a change order for design services on utility system storage facility projects, 6) change order No. 2 for the water pollution control facility solid-processing improvement project, and 7) the appointment of Pamela Butler to the Performing Arts Commission. The consent agenda motion was moved by Councilmember Cummings and seconded by Councilmember Nacey; the vote was 7-0 in favor.
Council then considered three separate resolutions tied to VDOT funding or agreements and voted on each without further discussion. The council unanimously approved: an endorsement of an application for VDOT revenue-sharing funds for the Battlefield Parkway Southeast Bridge Repair Project (motion moved by Councilmember Steinberg, seconded by Councilmember Cummings; vote 7-0); a VDOT administrative agreement for East Market Street improvements between Plaza Street and Fort Evans Road (motion moved by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Vice Mayor Johnson; vote 7-0); and an updated readout resolution endorsing improvements to Church Street, South Street and Harrison Street (motion moved by Councilmember Nacey, seconded by Councilmember Cummings; vote 7-0).
The actions were presented by staff with no additional public comment recorded on those items at the meeting. The council recorded each action as passing by unanimous voice vote.
Beyond the formal votes, council members noted upcoming meetings and events; Councilmember Steinberg requested a work session to discuss stormwater-management costs, and the mayor and staff listed regional meetings and local events they had attended. Deputy Town Manager Kate Trapps was thanked in council comments for managing a recent meeting process.
