Planning Commission adds Pledge of Allegiance as standing agenda item
Summary
Following a request citing the nation's 250th anniversary, the Milton Planning Commission voted 4-0-1 to add the Pledge of Allegiance to future meeting agendas; Chair Julie Rutz abstained from the vote.
Commissioner Brenda Steady moved on July 21 that the Pledge of Allegiance be added as a standing agenda item for future Milton Planning Commission meetings, citing the upcoming 250th anniversary of the nation. The motion was seconded by Ben Frye and passed with four votes in favor; Chair Julie Rutz abstained (vote: 4-0-1).
Members discussed that the Pledge is not required by law for Planning Commission meetings. The Commission recorded that the change is a procedural update to future agendas rather than a change to commission policy or statutory duties.
