Clarkston council rejects $1,699 America 250 flag purchase
Summary
A council motion to buy 20 U.S. flags for America 250 from a low-cost supplier for $1,699.40 failed on a 4-3 vote; the purchase was to be paid from the city’s fund balance.
A motion to authorize the City Manager to purchase and install 20 U.S. flags for America 250 from the supplier Freedom and Glory for $1,699.40, to be paid from the City’s fund balance, failed on a 4-3 vote during the June 8 City Council meeting.
Councilmember Avery moved the purchase, and Mayor Pro Tem Rodgers supported the motion. The recorded vote was No: Jones, Wylie (Mayor), Casey, Forte; Yes: Quisenberry, Rodgers, Avery. The minutes show the motion was amended to specify payment from the City’s fund balance but ultimately did not obtain a majority.
The minutes do not record council debate text or quotes regarding the merits of the purchase; they record only the motion, amendment (payment source), and the roll-call vote.
