New Business — Oath of Office
Knauss explained that when Commissioner Pristash submitted the item for the agenda, staff
reviewed the oath of office currently being used by the City. The current oath is the same one
that was used by the State of Minnesota. The State's oath has been changed since the City last
reviewed the oath of office language and it now offers a choice of alternate words, should the
inductee desire.
Commissioner Pristash wanted to bring this forward so that others who may have or in the
future be uncomfortable with the language of the oath not be discouraged from serving or
getting involved. Commissioners agreed the choice of alternative language is a good solution for
future oaths of office.
