Council split 3–2 after motion to lock pledge wording fails
Summary
Council member Kinney’s proposal that all Pine Springs meetings open with the pledge of allegiance and prohibit changes to its wording failed on a 3–2 vote after discussion at the March 4 council meeting.
A motion to require that all Pine Springs City Council meetings begin with the pledge of allegiance, and to specify that the pledge’s wording not be changed, failed on a 3–2 vote at the council’s March 4 meeting.
Council member Kinney moved that meetings start with the pledge and that words not be added or changed; Council member Kardashian seconded the motion. After discussion the council voted with Adams, Lapos-Kuchar and Mayor Christensen opposed and Kinney and Kardashian in favor, so the motion did not pass.
The vote split along individual council members rather than being unanimous; the transcript records discussion over whether words could be added or omitted but does not record additional amendments or further procedural direction. The council proceeded to other agenda items and adjourned at 8:29 p.m.
