Port Moody meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

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.

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.

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

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.
