All those opposed say nay. Great. The motion carries unanimously. The list of approved bylaws can be found on the city's website. So the next item is notice of council members motions. Are there any notices of council member motions for the upcoming standing committee meetings? A reminder to please state the title of the motion and the date of the standing committee meeting on which you intend to move the motion and be sure to send the title and date of the standing committee meeting via email to the city clerk. So I will go first. And this is a member motion that I will be co-submitting with Councillor Klassen. Thank you very much. I'd like to call notice of motion for the April 1st Standing Committee meeting entitled Supporting the 2026 Vancouver Fisaki Parade and Festival. Councillor Maloney.
To be moved on the 1st of April, 2026 Standing Committee meeting entitled guaranteeing services and supports to protect residents through Vancouver's increasingly hot summers.
Notice of motion for April 1st Standing Committee reversing the costly ban on supportive housing.
Councillor Frye. Notice on motions for April 1st. There are three. Number one, establishing a city comptroller bylaw for budget efficiency and asset management framework. Number two, creating a City of Vancouver Festival support fund. And number three, co-submitted with Councillor Maloney, strengthening Vancouver's FIFA World Cup 2026 Human Rights Action Plan with measurable standards reporting and monitoring. Councillor Orr.
Yeah, a motion to be moved April 1st, a motion titled Fostering Inclusive and Diverse Democracy Through Harassment Prevention, and another motion titled Funding Our Services with Taxes on Major Landowners and Investors.
Great. Thank you very much. Okay. Seeing no one else in the queue, we will move right along now to new business. We have two items of new business on the agenda today. So the first one, is the requests for leaves of absence. And this motion has been circulated to council at the beginning of the meeting and is available on the screen, or it will be available on the screen.
Everyone can take a second to make sure it fully reflects.
Mayor, I don't know if people are on the queue to speak. This is one edit from mine.
Yes, Mayor, I need to, and I'll send it in just a moment. I just need to add an LOA for both personal and civic business for Friday, March 13th from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
I'll send that in.
I see there it says April 14th in the evening. It's actually all day.
Any other changes?
Did we catch Councillor Ply's comments?
We're all good. Counselor Orr. Yeah, I think that I'm missing one.
I don't know. Sorry. I don't know how to find this very quickly. April 8th, 19th.
Sorry, how do I, do I just have to find it now or is there?
You can just verbally say it. Yeah, I just, I can't find the, I can't remember the one where it is. I just know there's, I thought there was a second one.
You see the two on screen, counselor? I see two. I just thought there was one on, there's a different one.
Why don't we take a recess for... Yeah, I'm just searching my email and I can't find it.
