REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING
FLAG
SALUTE:
INVOCATION: On May 16, 2006, the City Council
unanimously approved the offering of a brief invocation at the commencement of
all meetings of the City Council or Redevelopment Agency. In doing so, the City Council is cognizant of
its legal obligation to assure that such invocations are “legislative prayers,”
and that they do not purport to advance any particular religion or religious
denomination.
Consistent
with the so-called “Burbank” prayer decision, the City Council hereby
admonishes those who offer invocations to do so consistent with the current
state of the law – meaning that an invocation must not be used to identify,
advance, or urge a particular religious denomination, or identify a specific
religion’s deity. This evening we are
pleased that our invocation will be offered by: REVEREND
CURTIS WILLIAMS, CHRIST FULL GOSPEL MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH
APPROVAL OF REGULAR BUSINESS AGENDA:
Mayor/Chairman requests the audience to fill out
Speaker Forms to indicate those items on which they want to speak, and give the
completed form to the City Clerk/Agency Secretary at the beginning of the
meeting, in order to be recognized by the Mayor/Chairman. Agenda arranged so that speakers may be heard
