Langley council drops combined plan, approves narrower shift of Design Review Board
Summary
A council motion to move both the Design Review Board and Cemetery Commission into ad hoc mayoral committees failed 2–2; later the council approved transitioning only the Design Review Board to an ad hoc mayoral committee, 4–0.
Councilmembers debated whether to transition two advisory bodies — the Design Review Board and the Cemetery Commission — into ad hoc mayoral committees and to consider longer-term changes to the Langley Municipal Code related to design review.
A motion by Councilmember Chris Carlson to transition both bodies failed on a 2–2 vote (yeas: Carlson, Fleming; nays: Salerno, Cyr; Councilmember Harolyn Bobis absent). After additional discussion, Councilmember Craig Cyr moved to transition only the Design Review Board to an ad hoc mayoral committee; Councilmember Rhonda Salerno seconded that narrower motion, which passed 4–0.
The minutes show the council considered future code changes related to design review but made no immediate code amendment; the council’s action delegates the Design Review Board’s activities to an ad hoc committee under mayoral appointment pending any municipal-code revision.
