AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: APRIL 1, 2008
TO: WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
SUBJECT: DISCUSS NATIONAL MOTTO "IN GOD WE TRUST"
SUMMARY:
This item has been placed on the agenda at the request of Councilmember Jim Palmer who
wishes to discuss the City of San Clemente's recent adoption of the National Motto "In God we
Trust". A number of California cities display "In God We Trust" in City Hall and/or City Council
Chambers. Since his phrase is a national motto and does not promote a religion, it can be
displayed at council's discretion. A photo simulation that demonstrates how the motto is
displayed in San Clement is attached.
RECOMMENDATION:
Pleasure of the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Undetermined at this time and based on Council direction. Said project is currently not funded
in FY 2007-08 Budget.
