January 26 Council Notes: Committee, Fines, and Local Election

Yesterday, I posted about some of the items covered at Monday’s Langley City Council meeting. Today, I wanted to cover the remaining items.

Langley City Council updated the Terms of Reference, a document that outlines the who, what, why, and how for Council’s Arts, Recreation, Culture and Heritage Committee. The update included adding an additional space for someone from the Langley performing arts community and two additional spaces for someone from the community-at-large. It’s madate was also updated to reflect Council’s 2026-2030 Strategic Plan with a focus on cultivating an inclusive community.

If you would like to apply to serve on a committee, please visit Langley City’s website.

As I previously posted, Langley City now has a tree protection bylaw. Council gave first, second, and third readings to update the Fees and Charges Bylaw and Municipal Ticket Information System Bylaw to enable the fines related to the tree protection bylaw.

It is a local election year, so Council appointed the Chief Election Officer and Deputy Chief Election Officer for the 2026 Langley City General Local Election. These folks are the City’s Corporate Officer and Deputy Corporate Officer.
