voluntary and invocations are to be less than three minutes, offered in a solemn and respectful tone,

respect and brevity shall be given a warning and/or not invited back to provide a subsequent
invocation for a reasonable period of time, as determined appropriate by the City. This policy is not

denominations and faith represented and practiced among the citizens of Clearlake. If a scheduled
invocational speaker does not appear at the scheduled meeting, the Mayor will ask that the City
Council observe a moment of silence in lieu of the invocation. More information about the City's
