Flag committee votes 3-1 to add pride flag; council asks attorney for legal memo
Summary
The flag committee voted 3-1 to recommend adding a pride flag to the town flag ordinance; the council asked the town attorney to prepare a short legal memorandum for guidance before any ordinance amendment is drafted.
A majority of the town's flag committee voted 3-1 to recommend adding the pride flag to the town's flag ordinance (an amendment to Ordinance 8-24). Council members reported the committee's action and the committee asked the town administrator to forward proposed language to the town attorney for legal review. The town attorney said he would prepare a short memorandum to explain the legal guidance so the council and committee could review the proposed amendment language.
The council did not vote to amend the ordinance at this meeting; members said they would wait to review the attorney's memorandum and the proposed language before scheduling any ordinance introduction or hearing.
