“It’s something I thought staff, administration and council would come up with together,” she said of a future acknowledgement.
At least three council members said they’d likely oppose adding such a statement to the regular agenda.
“I think it’s a business meeting, and I don’t think it’s a necessary thing to be doing,” said council member Shaun Palmer, comparing it to past requests to add a prayer to the start of the meetings.
Council members Mark Bransford and Patrick Keane also cited concerns about adding a statement to the start of council meetings.
“I think the pledge is an honor thing that we should do,” Keane said. “I’m comfortable with that, but not other things.”
