Waite Park council picks flagpole site paralleling 13th Avenue at City Hall
Summary
The Waite Park City Council voted to relocate the City Hall flagpole to a site paralleling 13th Avenue (option B). Staff said $10,000 is budgeted for the work and the contractor needs the chosen location to proceed.
The Waite Park City Council voted to relocate the City Hall flagpole to a location paralleling 13th Avenue (identified in staff materials as location B).
Staff presented three options for the flagpole: at the front corner at 13th and Division (A), paralleling the sidewalk along 13th Avenue (B), and near the ADA entry adjacent to the ramp (C). Staff told the council the project is budgeted for $10,000 and that the contractor needs a final site decision to schedule and complete the work.
During discussion a council member moved to keep the pole in its current place; that motion received no second. Another member proposed moving the pole to the front door (location A). After additional comment and a second motion, the council instead approved selecting location B — the site paralleling the 13th Avenue sidewalk. The council voted in favor and the selection passed.
Because the staff presentation identified the budgeted amount and noted the contractor requires the chosen location, the next step is for staff to notify the contractor and proceed with site preparation and installation.
