Crescent City Councilor Candace Tinkler was absent. Among the items discussed at Monday’s meeting:

Front Street Notice of Completion: Four members of the City Council marked the official end of the Front Street reconstruction project, authorizing the city manager to sign and file a notice of completion for the stretch between G and Play.

This action comes about three months after the former Council reopened the road to traffic on Nov. 6. The project was possible through a total of about $2.2 million from multiple funding sources including Measure S, the American Rescue Plan Act, Senate Bill 1 dollars as well as the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission and the city’s general fund.

Pressed By Triplicate Editor Roger Gitlin, Crescent City Council Will Consider Public Prayer

Del Norte Triplicate News Editor Roger Gitlin says his goal is to get all major government bodies in Del Norte County to open their meetings with an invocation. | Screenshot

Crescent City Councilors agreed to discuss a proposal to incorporate prayer into its meetings.

Former supervisor and Del Norte Triplicate news editor Roger Gitlin made the request. In a public comment that went longer than the three minutes normally allotted to speakers, Gitlin said several times that his ask wasn’t “a religious thing.” He pointed out that the Crescent City Harbor District Board three weeks ago voted to hold an invocation prior to its meetings. Gitlin said he’s also encouraging the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors to do the same.

“This was substantiated and supported in April 2014 in a Supreme Court case, the City of Greece, New York vs. another party [that] allowed for denominational and non-denominational prayer,” he said. “I want to make it very clear that our Assembly, State Senate, House of Representatives and the United States Senate also invoke an invocation and it’s a very simple one: It’s a matter of a few lines and it invokes the name of God. [It states] ‘give us the courage, the experience and the wisdom to make decisions which benefit our citizenry.’ That’s about all of it.”
