The meeting also included an executive session and a motion to table a discussion on adding an invocation to council agendas.
All right, we'll call the meeting to order. Please rise for the pledge. Pledge leads to the flag of the United States of America. And to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God. Okay, the clerk will note all members are present and accounted for. Ceremies ceremonies and announcements. We have one proclamation tonight for America 250. Whereas the United States of America is celebrating its independence in 1776 and its rich history from that date forward. Whereas Post Falls citizens, past and present, have contributed to the history of the United States from the American Revolution to the settling of the country from coast to coast. Whereas Post Falls citizens have served their country with military service and community service throughout the United States and the world. Whereas Post Falls joins cities and towns throughout the state of Idaho in commemorating this 250th year celebration event with activities and events. Now therefore be it resolved that I, Randy Westland, mayor of the city of Post Falls, Idaho, do hereby proclaim that Post Falls joins our nation in the celebration of America's rich history and heritage throughout 2026.
