Commission gives unanimous consent to pursue two America 250 flagpoles
Summary
Commissioners gave unanimous consent for staff to pursue purchasing two 20-foot solar-lit flagpoles from local vendor Better by Flags for $2,167.48 total and to coordinate dedications for America 250 celebrations.
Commissioners authorized staff to pursue procurement and installation of two 20-foot, solar-lit flagpoles to mark the America 250 observance in Lapeer. Commissioner Blissman presented a $2,167.48 quote from local vendor Better by Flags that included flags, solar lights, installation and a vendor discount; staff said the amount is within the city manager's discretionary spending authority and indicated they would find funding in the current budget.
Commissioners discussed potential dedication timing; staff said poles could be installed immediately and dedications scheduled later around Flag Day and in August. The Commission provided unanimous consent for staff to proceed and to coordinate dedications with community groups including veterans and scouts.
The vendor and installation details will be pursued administratively and returned to the Commission as needed for special-event permitting or scheduling.
