Commission approves $1,500 grant for downtown veteran flags and banner program
Summary
The visitor commission approved a $1,500 reimbursement grant to fund flags for downtown light poles and to coordinate with a downtown veterans banner program next year.
The commission voted to approve a $1,500 reimbursement grant to support the Honor and Remember flag program organized by the local ministerial association. The flags are intended to be displayed downtown between Memorial Day and Veterans Day and to be paired with a veterans‑banner program that will be relocated downtown next year.
The presenter said the city provides the pole hardware and that the $1,500 would buy roughly 75 flags (the downtown area has 58 poles but extra flags are purchased as spares). The group will test the program on the upcoming Veterans Day and intends to install flags the following year from Memorial Day through Veterans Day. The presenter said older bracket systems had damaged poles in the past but that new poles and brackets now in place should avoid earlier problems; presenters and commissioners said they would confirm pole load capacity with city staff before full installation.
On a motion and second the commission approved the $1,500 reimbursement grant. The presenter was reminded to submit receipts for reimbursement.
