Committee forwards ordinance creating rotation for opening invocation
Summary
Ordinance 26-032 would set a yearly rotation for which council member leads the opening invocation (or their designee), a change the committee voted to forward to full council.
The committee forwarded Ordinance 26-032, which would add a subsection to Section 2-84 to establish a rotation for opening invocations so each council member or a designee leads in turn. The rotation would start in January with Ward 1 Position 1 and continue through wards and positions so each member leads twice per year under the proposed schedule.
The sponsor said constituents requested a clear policy and asked Carol to draft the language. Carol noted the change seeks to avoid repeatedly inviting the same external person and cited past litigation in West Memphis as context for adopting a rotation; the committee voted to forward the proposal to the full council.
