Bylaws
The following bylaws were discussed on January 27:
Urban Wildlife Management Bylaw No. 754, 2014

Ticket Information Utilization Amendment Bylaw No. 755, 2014
This bylaw will amend the existing Ticket Information Utilization Bylaw No. 626, 2001 to provide a schedule of fines associated with the Urban Wildlife Management Bylaw No. 754, 2014. Both these bylaws were reviewed during the Committee of the Whole meeting and council gave direction to staff for further amendments.
Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 751, 2014

The district will hold another public hearing to hear representations from the public before council considers the third reading of the bylaw, as amended.
