Greenwood council to vote on Founders Day budget, election bylaw; zoning changes heard

The Greenwood City Council will vote Tuesday on a $4,000 increase to the 2026 Founders Day budget and on final reading of an elections procedure bylaw. No decisions were finalized at the two most recent meetings, where minutes have not yet been published.

Recent Council Meeting (June 22)

The council met June 22 for a regular meeting. The agenda included a late item to approve a road closure for the Founders Day parade, as well as final readings of Bylaw No. 1051 (amending council procedures) and Bylaw No. 1052 (amending fees and charges). Council also considered approval of a Founders Day Committee logo. The meeting moved into an in-camera session under provisions related to employee relations. Minutes for this meeting have not yet been published, so the outcome of these items is not yet known.

Public Hearing on Zoning (June 25)

A public hearing was held June 25 on two land-use amendments. The first, under Bylaws 1046/1047, proposes rezoning commercial lots on North Government Avenue from C1 General Commercial to R1 Residential Single and Two Family. The second, under Bylaws 1048/1049, would rezone 494 Dundee Avenue from C2 Highway Commercial to C1 General Commercial. The city provided notice to adjacent landowners and accepted public submissions on both items. No council vote has been recorded as of this writing.

Upcoming Special Council Meeting (July 7)

The council will hold a special meeting Tuesday, July 7. The agenda calls for a vote on recommending a $4,000 increase to the 2026 Founders Day budget for operational expenses. Council will also give fourth and final reading to Elections Procedure Bylaw No. 1050, 2026. The meeting begins with a land acknowledgement recognizing traditional Syilx Okanagan and Metis territory, and will move into an in-camera session under Section 90(1)(c) of the Community Charter for labour relations.
