Langley council moves to formalize a work plan and reassess commissions
Summary
Council members asked for an agreed-upon council work plan to prioritize legislative items (some for 2027), proposed using commissions to support that work and identified topics including vacant commercial building registration and personnel policy updates; the mayor said staff will return a consolidated agenda look-ahead and suggested scheduling a deeper workshop.
Council discussed a consolidated staff work plan and how the council should convert it into a shared legislative work plan. Council members emphasized the value of aligning commission work with council priorities and using the work plan to schedule topics in advance so staff and commissions can prepare. One council member proposed adding "Vacant commercial building registration" as a discrete line item for early consideration.
The mayor said she would try to place the council work-plan conversation on the next regular meeting agenda or a workshop and noted staffing bandwidth limits. Members agreed that some legislative priorities will require multi-year lead time (for example, items targeted for 2027) and that commissions could be leaned on to conduct research and draft recommendations once priorities are confirmed.
