CITIZEN COMMENTS Micaela Dailey, a Yucca District resident, said there is flood irrigation where she lives at 83rd Avenue and Bethany Home Road. She said the residents are responsible for a ditch that runs parallel to the canal in that area. They got a notice from SRP saying the ditch needed to be cleaned out. Her father and some friends were attacked by bees and wasps while cleaning out the ditch. After calling SRP about the bees, she was informed it was her problem. She is also a crisis response volunteer for the Glendale Fire and asked some of the firefighters and some police officers what to do about the bee problem. She finally contacted her Councilmember's office and was given the name of Mark Fortkamp, who helped her resolve the problem. She wanted to let the Councilmembers know what an amazing experience it was dealing with Mark about this health and safety issue. She said SRP was also involved in resolving the problem. SRP identified the area in the canal that is their responsibility and they will remove the trees. The beehives, some of which were Africanized bees, were removed. City employee Anthony Garcia, Bulk Trash Supervisor, also came out and met with the residents and told her to call the city the next time this area needed to be cleaned and they would help get the area cleaned up.

AMENDMENT TO CITY COUNCIL MEETING RULES AND PROCEDURES PRESENTED BY: Kristen Krey, Council Services Administrator RESOLUTION: 4721 This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing an amendment to the City Council Meeting Rules and Procedures. Ms.Krey gave a history of reviewing the draft guidelines for including a prayer or invocation to be placed on the voting meeting agenda. Councilmember Martinez asked what the response was from citizens regarding this issue. Ms. Krey said there were 25 written comments on this matter. She said 22 of those comments did not support prayer,but did encourage council to continue with the moment of silence. Three of the comments were supportive of this item. Mr. Stobberingh,a Yucca resident, said with all the other issues facing the city,the council does not need to change council procedures to include prayer. He said implementing the prayer raises more questions and problems. He spoke about some problems that might come up by allowing prayer at the council meetings,which included how the speakers are chosen, and by whom,who will be allowed to speak and what happens if a speaker does not adhere to the guidelines. He asked if there will be any check on the speaker's credentials and if lay people will be allowed to offer a prayer. He asked if the entire process would be transparent. He asked if there would be repercussions if a speaker did not adhere to the suggested guidelines. He also said there were so many factors to consider that could cause controversy. The city has successfully conducted their business for so many years without a prayer, he did not feel it was necessary to start offering a prayer at the beginning of the meeting now. He said the pledge of allegiance and moment of silence is adequate to show their respect. He asked the council to vote against this proposed change. He felt the council meetings should remain as secular as possible and this was the least controversial and biased way to run the meetings. He said the city should not make these changes as they could cost the city money down the road with respect to legal challenges. Vice Mayor Knaack said because of the prayer,she cannot support this item. She felt this is a personal agenda item and not one that the majority of citizens support. Council has received many emails from religious organizations that oppose the inclusion of prayer at the meetings. She said her own survey and a survey in the Glendale Star had similar results, as the moment of silence being the majority opinion. The twenty point guideline for the prayer makes a simple and meaningful thing complicated and bureaucratic. She said she cannot support this. Councilmember Martinez supported Vice Mayor Knaack's comments. He said he supported keeping the moment of silence so everyone could pray or reflect as they wished, and going to a prayer could cause some problems. He said public feedback received opposed the 7 prayer as well. He quoted from a newspaper article and said, "Prayer should be found in the churches and home of those who wish to do so,not in secular settings such as government meetings,"and also mentioned in the article was the separation of church and state. Councilmember Martinez quoted another newspaper article that said, "It's a bad idea. Let's get real. These Christians are trying to hijack our secular government. No matter the claims that other faiths will be represented,we all know it will be all about Jesus ninety percent of the time. It is divisive and accomplishes nothing more than making Christians feel superior to everyone else." Two more quotes from a letter to the Mayor and council from the Freedom from Religion Foundation. The first is, "Government prayer is unnecessary,inappropriate and divisive calling upon Councilmembers and citizens to pray would be coercive, embarrassing and beyond the scope of secular government. Councilmembers are free to pray privately or to worship on their own time in their own way. They do not need to worship on taxpayer's time and the government should not lend its power and prestige to religion amounting to a governmental endorsement that excludes the non-religious and people for whom religion is a personal,private matter." The second quote from that letter is, "Prayer at government meetings continues to be litigated, divisive and problematic for local governments across the nation precisely because of this legal uncertainty and instability. The best course is to not have prayers if you wish to pray prior to the meeting, do so on your own time in your own way. Do not make it part of the secular business of your local government. Councilmember Martinez also quoted Father Jim Turner, Pastor of St.Thomas Moore Church, from an e-mail sent to Mayor and Council, "Dear Mayor Weiers and Councilmembers, I am aware of an ongoing discussion regarding the appropriateness of opening city council meetings with public prayer and I thought I would offer my thoughts on the subject. While I naturally encourage my parishioners and others to pray frequently, I would be very hesitant to support such a move on the part of the council. My understanding of the proposal before the council is that volunteer members of the local clergy and other religious leaders would offer a generic prayer to an unnamed deity at the start of council sessions. I must wonder what the point of such a prayer would be. As a Catholic Christian, I offer prayers to the Father through Jesus Christ as most other Christians do. Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Native Americans, Buddhists and others obviously have their own way of invoking the deity. To suggest that I, as a Catholic priest, and others, adjust our prayers as to make them non-offensive to members of other religious traditions is inappropriate and even offensive, and this does not even address the large number of nonbelievers who are members of the Glendale community and for whom any public prayer would be offensive." Councilmember Martinez quoted a sentence from another paragraph, "I generally find when people try to mix religion and politics,especially in the civil arena,there is some agenda at work." He stated he hesitated to support prayer at City Council meetings and his preference is for a moment of silence. Mayor Weiers said he disagreed with several of the comments made. He said the city is extremely diverse. He spoke about the freedom of speech and the freedom of religion. He said the city needs help and he didn't see anything wrong with asking for help from a higher power. He said they will allow any religion. He said he never saw any controversy with this issue in the legislature. 8 Councilmember Martinez quoted Paul Giblin of the Arizona Republic in an August 20th article, "Weiers,a former state representative,told his colleagues that prayers have been offered before sessions in the state legislature for more than a century without causing an issue, but a secular invocation caused a stir three months ago. Representative Juan Mendez of Tempe,who is Atheist, used his turn to offer the invocation on May 21St to ask lawmakers to celebrate their'shared humanness'. Continuing with the quote, Councilmember Martinez said, "This is a room in which there are many challenging debates, many moments of tension of ideological division, of frustration, he said at the time, but this is also a room where my secular humanness tradition stresses,by the very fact of being human,we have much more in common than we have differences." Paul Giblin continued quoting, "The following day, Representative Steve Smith,a representative of Maricopa who is Christian, asked lawmakers to join him in a second daily prayer in repentance for Mendez's secular invocation. The debate surfaces fairly regularly. In 2011, Litchfield Park Councilmember Pete Mahoney started walking out during prayers after the council replaced its moments of silence with invocations that Mahoney felt were Christian oriented. No disrespect was intended at the time, he said, I'm a Christian. I'm a true believer in separation of church and state, Mahoney said. That same year,the Chandler Unified School District went the opposite direction. It switched from public prayers to moments of reflection after officials at the Arizona School Board Conference suggested that boards avoid prayers to prevent lawsuits. Mayor Weiers said he stood by his comments that during his term in the legislature, he never saw any issues. Councilmember Alvarez said she is voting for the prayer. She reminded everyone that the dollar bill states "In God We Trust." Councilmember Chavira said St.Thomas Moore was referred to as a man for all seasons, and he is the patron saint of politicians and politics. RESOLUTION NO. 4721 NEW SERIES WAS READ BY NUMBER AND TITLE ONLY, IT BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, ADOPTING THE GLENDALE CITY COUNCIL "COUNCIL MEETING RULES AND PROCEDURES" AND THE GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS AND CITIZEN COMMENTS.
