Port Moody meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Port Moody agendas published for 12 meetings, but records show no decisions, votes or dollar amounts

Port Moody council and its committees published agendas for 12 meetings dated between Oct. 13 and Oct. 21, but the documents reviewed contain no reports, motions, vote tallies or dollar amounts. All 12 are listed in the city's records as agenda only, with minutes not yet published. The single agenda that named specific topics belonged to the Youth Focus Committee.

No decisions recorded in the past two weeks

None of the 12 recent agendas lists a decision, a vote or a money item. The documents for the Oct. 13 Special Council (to Close), the Oct. 13 Regular Council, the Oct. 14 Parks and Environment Committee, the Oct. 15 Board of Variance, the Oct. 19 Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility Committee, and the five bodies with agendas dated Oct. 20 — Strategic Priorities, Governance and Legislation, Council Standing Committee, City Initiatives and Planning, and Finance — contain only procedural text generated by the city's eSCRIBE agenda software. The Oct. 21 Transportation Committee agenda is the same.

Residents looking for a record of what was approved, spent or rejected in that period will not find it in these documents. That does not establish that nothing was decided; it establishes that the published agendas carry no substantive items and that minutes have not yet been posted.

Youth Focus Committee agenda named two topics

The Oct. 14 Youth Focus Committee agenda is the only one in the batch that lists subject matter. It included an update and collage regarding the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation/Orange Shirt Day, and a verbal report on the Remembrance Day event. The agenda also listed adoption of the committee's Sept. 9, 2026, minutes.

These were agenda listings. No outcome, discussion detail or vote count appears in the material provided.

Closed session scheduled

A Special Council meeting "to Close" was listed for Oct. 13, and another is scheduled for Oct. 27. The Oct. 27 notice describes it as held in closed session, with no public agenda items listed and no decisions or discussions open to the public. The agenda gives no indication of the subject.

Coming up

Climate Action Committee — Monday, Oct. 26. The published agenda contains only procedural text, with no items listed.

Special Council (to Close) — Tuesday, Oct. 27. Closed session; no public agenda items listed.

Regular Council — Tuesday, Oct. 27. The published agenda contains no listed items, decisions or discussion topics.

Special Council — Tuesday, Nov. 3. The published agenda contains only procedural text, with no items listed.

For detail on any of these meetings, residents can check the city's eSCRIBE portal. For the recent meetings, the records list minutes as not yet published; those minutes, once posted, are the documents that would show what was decided.

Port Moody agendas list no substantive items across 19 meetings in three weeks

Nine Port Moody meetings were scheduled between Oct. 5 and Oct. 15, and ten more are on the calendar through Oct. 27, but the agendas published for all of them contain only procedural text, with no listed reports, motions, votes or dollar amounts, according to the meeting records provided.

That leaves no decided item to report from this period. The records do not show what, if anything, each body considered.

What the records contain

Each of the 19 agendas reviewed — nine from the past two weeks and ten upcoming — consists of procedural boilerplate and system text from the eSCRIBE agenda software. None lists an agenda item, report, attachment, motion or decision. No vote tallies and no dollar figures appear in any of them.

Two of the entries are closed sessions: the Oct. 13 Special Council (to Close) and the Oct. 27 Special Council (to Close). The records list no public items for either.

Past two weeks

• **Oct. 5 — Land Use Committee:** agenda only; no items listed.
• **Oct. 6 — Finance Committee:** agenda only; no items listed.
• **Oct. 6 — Council Standing Committee:** agenda only; no items listed.
• **Oct. 7 — Economic Development and Tourism Committee:** agenda only; no items listed.
• **Oct. 8 — Arts, Culture, and Heritage Committee:** agenda only; no items listed.
• **Oct. 13 — Regular Council:** agenda only; no items listed.
• **Oct. 13 — Special Council (to Close):** closed meeting; no public items listed.
• **Oct. 14 — Parks and Environment Committee:** agenda only; no items listed.
• **Oct. 15 — Board of Variance:** agenda only; no items listed.

Minutes not yet published

For all nine past meetings, the records are agendas only; minutes have not been published. An agenda sets out what a body intends to consider. It does not record what was decided.

Nothing in the supplied material establishes that any of these bodies approved, rejected or debated anything — and nothing establishes that they did not. The absence of listed items is a limit of the records available, not evidence that no business took place. Readers should treat the past two weeks as unconfirmed until minutes are posted.

Coming up

Ten meetings are scheduled over the next two weeks. All ten agendas likewise list no substantive items.

• **Oct. 19 —** Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility Committee
• **Oct. 20 —** Strategic Priorities Committee; Governance and Legislation Committee; Council Standing Committee; City Initiatives and Planning Committee; Finance Committee
• **Oct. 21 —** Transportation Committee
• **Oct. 26 —** Climate Action Committee
• **Oct. 27 —** Special Council (to Close), a closed session; Regular Council

Five committees are stacked on Oct. 20, including Finance and City Initiatives and Planning. Those are the sessions to watch if items are added before the meeting dates.

Where to check

Agendas can change after initial publication, and minutes are the record of what a body actually did. Residents who want detail on any of the meetings above should consult the official agenda and minutes documents themselves; those remain the authoritative record, and this summary is secondary to them.

This roundup will report decisions, votes and amounts from these meetings once the underlying records contain them.

Port Moody Agendas List No Substantive Items Across Two Weeks of Council and Committee Meetings

Port Moody's published meeting records for the past two weeks list no substantive items — no bylaws, contracts, budgets, land decisions, or recorded votes — according to the agendas and summaries reviewed for this roundup. The same is true of the agendas posted for the next two weeks.

Eight meetings were scheduled between Sept. 29 and Oct. 8, 2026, covering council, its standing committee, and six advisory or focus committees. For each, the record supplied contains only procedural boilerplate and interface text from the eSCRIBE agenda system. No minutes have been published for any of these meetings, so no decisions, motions, or vote tallies are available to report.

Recent meetings: Sept. 29 to Oct. 8

• **Sept. 29 — Regular Council.** Agenda only; no legislative items, discussions, or decisions listed. Minutes not yet published.
• **Sept. 29 — Special Council (to Close).** Agenda only; no discussion items, decisions, or public hearings listed. Minutes not yet published.
• **Oct. 1 — Seniors Focus Committee.** Agenda only; no discussion items or decisions listed.
• **Oct. 5 — Land Use Committee.** Agenda only; no decisions, discussions, or agenda items listed.
• **Oct. 6 — Finance Committee.** Agenda only; no topics, discussions, or decisions listed.
• **Oct. 6 — Council Standing Committee.** Agenda only; no decisions, discussions, or proposals listed.
• **Oct. 7 — Economic Development and Tourism Committee.** Agenda only; no discussion items or decisions listed.
• **Oct. 8 — Arts, Culture, and Heritage Committee.** Agenda only; no discussion items or decisions listed.

Upcoming meetings: Oct. 13 to Oct. 27

Fourteen meetings are posted for the next two weeks. As with the recent meetings, each posted agenda contains only procedural boilerplate and no listed items, reports, or attachments.

• **Oct. 13 — Regular Council** and **Special Council (to Close)**
• **Oct. 14 — Parks and Environment Committee**
• **Oct. 15 — Board of Variance**
• **Oct. 19 — Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility Committee**
• **Oct. 20 — Strategic Priorities Committee; Governance and Legislation Committee; Council Standing Committee; City Initiatives and Planning Committee; Finance Committee**
• **Oct. 21 — Transportation Committee**
• **Oct. 26 — Climate Action Committee**
• **Oct. 27 — Special Council (to Close)** and **Regular Council**

The Oct. 13 and Oct. 27 Special Council meetings are listed as "to Close," meaning the posted agenda identifies no public business. The Oct. 27 special meeting summary states that no decisions or discussions are open to the public.

What these records do and do not show

An agenda that lists no items is not evidence that a meeting produced no decisions. It means the record supplied for this roundup does not identify any. Minutes for the recent meetings have not been published, and closed-session business is not disclosed on public agendas. No dollar amounts, contract values, vote tallies, or named motions appear anywhere in the material reviewed, so none are reported here.

Residents who want to know what was decided at the Sept. 29 to Oct. 8 meetings will need to check the official minutes once the City publishes them. The linked official documents remain the authoritative record.

Coming up

• **Oct. 13 — Regular Council.** The next full council session; the posted agenda lists no items.
• **Oct. 20 — Finance Committee and City Initiatives and Planning Committee.** Both meet the same evening as three other committees; posted agendas list no items.
• **Oct. 27 — Regular Council.** The second regular council session in the window; posted agenda lists no items.

Agendas can be revised before a meeting. Residents should check the City of Port Moody's meeting portal for updated agendas and for minutes from the September and October sessions once they are posted.

Port Moody meetings yield no decisions; climate committee to review parkland strategy

In the past two weeks, Port Moody's council and committee meetings produced no formal decisions. The only substantive agenda came from the Climate Action Committee, which was set to receive updates and discuss outreach efforts, but minutes have not yet been published. Two council meetings contained only procedural boilerplate.

Climate Action Committee (July 27)

The Climate Action Committee met on July 27 with an agenda that included three items: an update on Parkland Strategy Implementation, follow-up questions on the Green Infrastructure Framework, and Sustainability Student outreach to oil and propane heated buildings. The meeting was listed as "agenda only," meaning minutes have not yet been published, so no outcomes or votes are available.

Special Council (July 28)

A Special Council meeting was held on July 28 to close. The agenda contained only procedural boilerplate from the eSCRIBE software and no specific items for discussion or decision. No minutes have been published.

Regular Council (July 28)

The Regular Council meeting on the same day also had no substantive items. According to the agenda, it contained only procedural boilerplate from the eSCRIBE software interface. No decisions were made, and minutes are not yet available.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should check the city's official meeting calendar for future agendas and minutes.

Port Moody committees hold quiet late-July cycle; Climate Action Committee scheduled to discuss parkland and heating outreach

Port Moody's committee cycle over the past two weeks produced no recorded decisions, with most agendas containing only procedural boilerplate and no minutes yet published for any meeting.

The only meeting with substantive items listed was the Climate Action Committee, scheduled for July 27, 2026. Its agenda included updates and discussion items — not decisions — on three topics: implementation of the Parkland Strategy, follow-up questions on the Green Infrastructure Framework, and outreach by a Sustainability Student to buildings heated with oil and propane. Minutes for that meeting have not yet been published, so no outcomes can be confirmed.

Procedural-only meetings

Five committees met on July 21, 2026 — City Initiatives and Planning, Council Standing, Governance and Legislation, Strategic Priorities, and Finance — and all five agendas contained only procedural boilerplate with no concrete items for discussion or decision. No public hearings, rezonings, contracts, or other notable actions were listed on any of them.

Regular Council met on July 28, 2026, with an agenda that likewise contained no substantive items. A Special Council meeting held the same day to close also listed only procedural boilerplate.

What this means for residents

Because minutes have not been published for any of these meetings, there is no official record yet of what was said or decided. Residents looking for outcomes from the Climate Action Committee's discussion of the Parkland Strategy or heating-fuel outreach will need to wait for the minutes to be posted. None of the other meetings had items on the agenda that would affect services, spending, or land use.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days (August 3–17, 2026). Residents should check the City of Port Moody's official meeting calendar for any meetings added after this report was compiled.

Port Moody council weighed density bonus bylaws; committee agendas focus on heritage, transportation, and tourism

Port Moody's most consequential item this period was a set of density bonus bylaws scheduled for third reading and adoption at a July 7 special council meeting, following a public hearing the same day. Minutes for these meetings have not yet been published, so the outcome is not yet confirmed in the record.

Density bonus bylaws and public hearing

On July 7, 2026, council was scheduled to give third reading and vote on adopting two bylaws: OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 3547 (Density Bonus) and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3549 (Density Bonus). The bylaws aim to bring Port Moody's Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw into compliance with updated provincial density bonusing requirements. If adopted, council was also set to update Corporate Policy 13-6410-2017-01, the Community Amenity Contributions Program.

A public hearing on the same two bylaws was held July 7, with public input to be referred to the special council meeting for consideration. Because only agendas are available and minutes have not been published, the city's record does not yet show whether the bylaws passed, what vote tallies were recorded, or what public input was received.

Arts, Culture, and Heritage Committee

The Arts, Culture, and Heritage Committee met July 9. The agenda listed a presentation by the Senior Planner on a Heritage Strategic Plan scoping update, and a verbal report by the Manager of Cultural Services on promotion for public art and ideas for Culture Days 2027. The committee also planned to adopt minutes from its June 11, 2026 meeting and hear updates from the Port Moody Heritage Society, Library Board, and Arts Centre. Minutes are not yet published.

Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility Committee

On July 13, the IDEA Committee agenda included presentations on inclusion at Port Moody events by the Manager of Cultural Services and on age-friendly planning by the Assistant Manager of Recreation. A verbal update on the Sidewalk Accessibility Working Group was also listed, along with adoption of minutes from June 8, 2026 and staff updates on the 2026 work plan. Minutes are not yet published.

Transportation Committee

The Transportation Committee met July 15. The agenda included a TransLink presentation by Steven Wong, Manager, Local Government Funding Programs, and a staff report on a conceptual plan for improvements at the Barnet Hwy/View St intersection. Minutes are not yet published.

Economic Development and Tourism Committee

On July 16, the Economic Development and Tourism Committee agenda listed discussions on an Arts and Business initiative, a Tourism Strategic Plan, a Heavy Industrial Sites Study, and a verbal report on data and metrics, all led by the Manager of Economic Development. Minutes are not yet published.

Procedural-only meetings

Several meetings had no substantive items listed on their agendas: the Parks and Environment Committee (July 8), a Special Council meeting to close (July 14), Regular Council (July 14), and the Board of Variance (July 16). These agendas contained only procedural boilerplate.

Coming up

Five committee meetings are scheduled for July 21, 2026: Strategic Priorities Committee, Finance Committee, City Initiatives and Planning Committee, Council Standing Committee, and Governance and Legislation Committee. All five agendas currently list only procedural items with no substantive business. On July 28, a Special Council meeting to close and a Regular Council meeting are scheduled; both agendas currently show only procedural boilerplate. Residents should check the city's official agenda pages for any late additions.

Port Moody council eyed density bonus bylaws; committee meetings ahead on transportation and tourism

Port Moody's most consequential recent item was a pair of bylaws amending the city's Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw to comply with updated provincial density bonusing requirements. A public hearing and special council meeting were both scheduled for July 7, 2026, but minutes have not yet been published, so the outcome of the votes is not confirmed in the available record.

Density bonus bylaws and public hearing

On July 7, 2026, the City of Port Moody held a public hearing on two bylaws: OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 3547 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3549, both labeled as Density Bonus amendments. The bylaws aim to bring the city into compliance with provincial legislation on density bonusing. Public input received at the hearing was to be referred to a special council meeting held the same day.

At that special council meeting, council was scheduled to give third reading and vote on adoption of both bylaws. If adopted, council would also update Corporate Policy 13-6410-2017-01, the Community Amenity Contributions Program policy. Because minutes are not yet published, the vote tallies and whether adoption occurred cannot be confirmed from the available agenda materials.

Seniors Focus Committee

The Seniors Focus Committee met July 2, 2026, to review exterior enhancements to the Civic Complex and the city's Age-Friendly Plan. The agenda included presentations from the Project Manager and Recreation Coordinator, updates from the Seniors Friendship Society, and updates from a Parks and Environment representative. Minutes are not yet published.

Parks and Environment Committee

The Parks and Environment Committee met July 8, 2026. The agenda contained no substantive items listed. Minutes are not yet published.

Arts, Culture, and Heritage Committee

The Arts, Culture, and Heritage Committee met July 9, 2026. The Senior Planner was scheduled to present a scoping update on the Heritage Strategic Plan. The Manager of Cultural Services was to give a verbal report on promotion for public art and ideas for Culture Days 2027. The committee also planned to adopt minutes from its June 11, 2026 meeting and hear updates from the Port Moody Heritage Society, Library Board, and Arts Centre. Minutes are not yet published.

Coming up

• **July 13 — Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility Committee:** Presentations on inclusion at Port Moody events and age-friendly planning, plus a verbal update on the Sidewalk Accessibility Working Group.

• **July 16 — Economic Development and Tourism Committee:** Discussions on an Arts and Business initiative, a Tourism Strategic Plan, a Heavy Industrial Sites Study, and a verbal report on data and metrics.

Several other upcoming meetings — Regular Council and Special Council on July 14, Board of Variance on July 16, and multiple committees on July 21 — list no substantive agenda items.

Port Moody roundup: Density bonus bylaws up for hearing; council agendas remain unpublished

Port Moody residents face a consequential week ahead, with a public hearing and special council meeting set for July 7 on density bonus amendments to the city's Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw. Meanwhile, minutes from the city's recent late-June meetings — including a regular council session that listed a rezoning amendment for the Mosaic Moody Yards site and a grant application of up to $10 million for tree planting — have not yet been published, so outcomes cannot be confirmed.

Recent meetings: agendas only, no confirmed outcomes

All five meetings held between June 22 and July 2 are listed as agenda-only, with minutes not yet published. That means the items below were scheduled for discussion or votes, but the city's official record does not yet show what council or committees decided.

Climate Action Committee (June 22): The committee was scheduled to review the 2025 Annual Climate Action plan report, discuss preparations for advancing the Energy Step Code, and consider a new strata climate toolkit and education campaign.

Special Council to Close (June 23, morning): Council was set to meet in closed session to discuss labour relations, personal information, intergovernmental negotiations, and potential land dispositions.

Regular Council (June 23, evening): The agenda listed several notable items, including:

• Rezoning text amendment (Bylaw No. 3544) to facilitate development at 3055 Murray Street, identified as the Mosaic Moody Yards project.
• Adoption of Heritage Procedures Bylaw No. 3546.
• An application for the FCM Local Leadership for Climate Adaptation grant for a climate risk assessment.
• An application for the Growing Canada's Community Canopies grant, listed at up to $10 million for tree planting.
• A temporary use permit for 3001 St Johns Street (Marcon Developments Ltd.) for three years.
• A housing agreement bylaw for the Anthem Moody Centre market rental project.

Because minutes are unavailable, it is not possible to report how council voted on any of these items.

Special Council to Close (June 25): Council was scheduled to discuss the proposed provision of a new municipal service in closed session, citing preliminary negotiations under section 90(1)(k).

Seniors Focus Committee (July 2): The committee was set to review exterior upgrades to the Civic Complex and the city's Age-Friendly Plan, with presentations from the Project Manager and Recreation Coordinator and updates from the Seniors Friendship Society.

Coming up

July 7 — Public Hearing: The city will hold a public hearing on two bylaws — OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 3547 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3549 — to amend the density bonus program to comply with updated provincial density bonusing requirements. Public input will be received and referred to a special council meeting the same day.

July 7 — Special Council (with Public Hearing): Council is scheduled to give third reading and vote on adopting Bylaw No. 3547 and Bylaw No. 3549. If adopted, council will also update Corporate Policy 13-6410-2017-01, the Community Amenity Contributions Program.

July 8 — Parks and Environment Committee: No substantive agenda items are listed; the meeting appears procedural.

July 14 — Regular Council and Special Council to Close: Both agendas contain only procedural boilerplate with no substantive items listed.

July 16 — Board of Variance: No substantive items listed.

Residents who want to speak at the July 7 public hearing should check the city's official agenda for registration details. Until minutes are published for the June 23 regular council meeting, the status of the Mosaic Moody Yards rezoning and the $10 million tree-planting grant application remains unconfirmed in the public record.

Port Moody Council Weighs Rezoning for Murray Street Development

Port Moody’s elected officials and advisory bodies tackled development, climate action, and municipal services in a series of recent meetings, though no final decisions were recorded as minutes remain unpublished.

Council considers Moody Yards rezoning and $10M tree-planting grant

A rezoning text amendment for 3055 Murray Street, part of the Mosaic Moody Yards project, was placed on the June 23 regular council consent agenda. The change would alter zoning rules to facilitate the development. Council also prepared to vote on adopting a new Heritage Procedures Bylaw, applying for a federal grant of up to $10 million through the Growing Canada’s Community Canopies program to fund tree planting, and seeking funding from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for a climate risk assessment. A three-year temporary use permit for 3001 St Johns Street, proposed by Marcon Developments Ltd., appeared on the agenda as new business. The 2025 annual report was also presented.

Climate committee reviews progress, eyes new toolkit

The Climate Action Committee met on June 22 to review the 2025 Annual Climate Action Plan report. Members discussed preparation for advancing the provincial Energy Step Code and a new strata climate toolkit and education campaign aimed at multi-family buildings.

Closed‑door meetings address land, labour, and a new service

Two special council meetings closed to the public were held on June 23 and June 25. Agendas listed confidential discussions on labour relations, potential land dispositions, intergovernmental negotiations, and personal or employee matters. The June 25 session cited preliminary negotiations about providing a proposed new municipal service as the reason for closing the meeting under section 90(1)(k) of the Community Charter.
