Langley Council amends municipal meetings code, removes two-reading requirement
Summary
Council adopted an amendment to Langley Municipal Code 2.06 governing meetings and voted to strike the clause requiring two separate readings of all ordinances during regular council meetings to avoid being more restrictive than state law.
The Langley City Council completed a second reading and adopted changes to Langley Municipal Code 2.06 governing meetings. Councilmember Gail Fleming moved adoption and Councilmember Rhonda Salerno seconded. Councilmembers discussed suggested edits and then approved both the ordinance and an amendment to remove the sentence 'All ordinances shall have two separate readings during regular council meetings' from section 2.06.220 D.1, explaining the change was to avoid imposing requirements stricter than state law.
Both the ordinance amending LMC 2.06 and the motion to strike the specific sentence passed unanimously. The council discussed minor edits to meeting procedures but recorded no objections to the strike-and-adopt approach; the change clarifies the city's internal meeting rules to align with state-prescribed procedures.
