Council treats housekeeping ordinance as second reading and authorizes code updates
Summary
Council moved to treat a previously introduced housekeeping ordinance as a second reading and authorized updates to Langley municipal code chapters (including meeting-notice procedures), following MRSC guidance and brief council discussion.
The council considered a housekeeping ordinance intended to simplify and standardize portions of Langleys municipal code, including updating meeting‑notice methods (moving toward email notice) and repealing outdated sections. The mayor asked for a motion to authorize the ordinance, and a council member moved that the first reading be treated as a second reading so the council could act; the motion to treat it as a second reading and the subsequent motion to authorize the updates both carried on oral vote.
Council members discussed whether the item should be treated as a second reading rather than waiting for a formal second hearing; one council member urged efficiency while others raised routine questions before voting. The ordinance text referenced municipal code sections including 2.060.030 and related meeting-quorum and public hearing sections; staff said the changes were encouraged by MRSC.
