The Regular City Council Meeting held on May 15, 2024, in Soledad focused on the display policy for the POW MIA flag. The council discussed a resolution that would allow the flag to be displayed for specific dates, primarily around Flag Day, rather than for the entire month of June as initially proposed.

During the meeting, council members clarified the existing policy, which permits the POW MIA flag to be displayed on designated days. The mayor, who previously served on the ad hoc committee that developed the policy, noted that the current resolution aligns with the established guidelines. However, there was some confusion regarding the language in the resolution, which initially suggested a longer display period.

The council ultimately confirmed that the resolution approved during the meeting would not change the existing policy but would reiterate the specific dates for the flag's display. This clarification means that future discussions about extending the display period will only be necessary if a council member proposes such a change.

In conclusion, the council's actions reaffirmed the existing policy without introducing new regulations, ensuring that the POW MIA flag continues to be honored on its designated days.
