Resident Colton asks to display about 250 flags along Cornish park fence for July 4
Summary
A Cornish resident asked the council’s permission to attach roughly 250 flags to a park fence for Independence Day; members discussed pole capacity, sprinkler heads and a missing flagpole but took no formal vote.
Colton, a resident, asked the council for permission to attach flags to the fence at the Cornish park for July 4 and said he hoped neighbors and the local rehab center would help supply them. “So I guess I’m just asking permission for that,” Colton said.
The request noted there are about 55 poles on the park fence and Colton said he is roughly 50 flags short of his goal of flying about 250 small flags around the park; he said he already has some smaller flags but is seeking larger ones for the fence. Council members raised practical concerns about weight and attachment points and whether sprinkler heads or irrigation on the lawn could be affected if some flags were staked into the ground.
Members also discussed that a previous flagpole had been pulled down (apparently caught by a mower) and whether the pole at the old post office remained available. No formal motion or vote was recorded on the flag display; members indicated support and offered to help with logistics and potential pole relocation.
The matter was recorded as a public request; the council instructed staff and members to confirm sprinkler locations and the condition of fence posts and to coordinate with Colton on placement and removal timing after the holiday.
