Last night's Langley City Council meeting was brief.
As I posted, Langley City, through the work of our Environmental Sustainability Committee, recommended that Langley City become a bat-friendly community in July. Bats provide pest control, pollinate plants, and disperse seeds. They have a symbolic relationship with humans as they use our built environment for their homes, though because of how we build things today, there is less space where they can live now. We are trying to change that. You can read more about it in that previous post. Langley City is now officially a bat-friendly community, and we received a certificate which attests to that last night.
The Deputy Mayor takes on the role of the Mayor if the Mayor becomes unavailable. The Deputy Mayor also represents the City at events when there are concurrent events that request official representation from the Mayor's Office. Council approved the following Deputy Mayor schedule for 2024-25.
Nov. 1 - Dec. 31 - Councillor Solyom
Jan. 1 - Feb. 28 - Councillor Albrecht
Mar. 1 - Apr. 30 - Councillor Mack
May 1 - June 30 - Councillor Wallace
July 1 - Aug. 31 - Councillor White
Sept. 1- Oct. 31 - Councillor James
Council also gave third reading to a rezoning bylaw to enable a multi-phase apartment and commercial mixed-use project at 20501 Logan Avenue. You can read more about this in a previous blog post.
Finally, Council had to give third reading again to our "2025 Permissive Tax Exemption Bylaw." There was a small typo that needed to be corrected. You can read more about permissive tax exemptions and who will receive these exemptions in 2025 in an earlier blog post.
