CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 3C <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson, City Administrator <br />MEETING DATE: August 12, 2019 <br />TOPIC: Pledge of Allegiance <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The Council is being asked to consider a resolution affirming the recitation of the Pledge of <br />Allegiance prior to City Council and City Board meetings. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The St. Louis Park City Council recently came under fire for removing the Pledge of <br />Allegiance from the beginning of their meetings, and then reversed its decision after it sparked <br />protests and criticism from people opposing the decision. <br />To sanction the Pledge of Allegiance, the Lino Lakes City Council directed staff to prepare a <br />resolution affirming the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance and to instate the pledge prior to <br />the start of City Board meetings, which currently is not being done. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Consider the approval of Resolution No. 19-96, Affirming the Reciting of Pledge of Allegiance <br />at City Council and City Board Meetings. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Resolution No. 19-96
