Cloverdale council agrees to place flag-policy amendment on consent calendar to allow pride flag at library
Summary
Council directed staff to prepare consent-calendar language to amend the commemorative-flag policy so the pride flag may fly at the Cloverdale Regional Library each June; staff will check flagpole capacity and include cost details for additional flags.
Cloverdale — Councilors agreed to place an amendment on a future consent calendar to allow commemorative flags, including the pride flag, to fly at alternate city-controlled flagpoles such as the Cloverdale Regional Library during specified dates.
Staff explained the current flag policy (adopted in 2023–24) limits commemorative flags to the commemorative flagpole in front of City Hall unless council approves another location; the request under consideration would permit the pride flag to fly at the library between June 1 and June 30 on an annual basis.
Council members discussed practical issues—whether the library flagpole has capacity for an additional flag and whether adding one location would require treating all approved commemorative flags consistently. Council gave staff direction to draft suggested consent-calendar language, check physical flagpole capacity and provide the fiscal impact (cost of additional flags) at the next meeting.
What’s next: Staff will return with suggested policy language for the consent calendar, a flagpole-capacity check and a fiscal estimate for additional flags and associated materials.
