Langley is unholstering its previously proposed support for Initiative 594 in a procedure to be considered by the Langley City Council on Monday, Oct. 6.

Specifically, the city leaders will discuss the standard practice for resolution requests. At the last city council meeting, people vehemently spoke against the city considering the mayor’s proposed support of I-594. Earlier this year, the city considered a citizen’s requested support against coal trains. The new practice is for the city “not to take formal positions (pass resolutions) on matters that don’t directly involve the conduct of city business,” according to language in the proposal.

The council is also scheduled to discuss Langley’s emergency ordinance restricting the demolition of historic structures. Months ago, the council approved the measure in response to news that the owners of the Dog House Tavern were interested in tearing it down and building something else after renovation and land swap talks with the city broke down.

The Langley City Council meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall.
