Detroit Lakes council votes to fly official Minnesota state flag at city facilities
Summary
After discussion, the council voted to display the official Minnesota state flag at city facilities; the council clarified language to use 'official' rather than 'new' and approved the motion by roll call with two recorded 'no' votes.
The Detroit Lakes City Council voted to adopt the official Minnesota state flag for display at city facilities. Public Works Chair Alderman Zeman moved that the city fly the official state flag, and the motion was adopted after brief discussion about terminology (the council agreed to use the term "official" rather than "new").
The mayor conducted a roll call during the vote and recorded at least two 'No' votes; the motion nevertheless carried. Council members discussed consistency with Becker County and other local governments that have adopted the official design.
