The Dillon Town Council has scheduled a special meeting Wednesday, June 19, to discuss an amphitheater policy following an earlier vote to allow the Dillon Community Church to use the venue.

The agenda for the 5 p.m. meeting includes citizen comments, an executive session for the Town Council to receive legal advice concerning the use of the Dillon Amphitheater, and a public session for discussion and potential action on a new policy for the venue’s use.

The special meeting was scheduled after the Town Council went against the advice of its attorney, Kathleen Kelly, last Tuesday, June 11, when it voted down a draft amphitheater policy and then voted 5-1 to reinstate the long-standing informal policy that had allowed the church to use the space for services.

Kelly — who had advised the council that the Constitution’s First Amendment means government can’t become “overly intertwined” with religious activities — announced her resignation following the decision.

The Freedom from Religion Foundation, a national nonprofit that has litigated cases related to the separation of church and state, has also said on social media that the Town Council’s decision “impermissibly advances religion.”
