REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING
6:00 P.M.
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: PETER WATTS, REVOLUTION CHURCH
OF CARSON
