Summary

Trustees selected two tied winners from sixth- and eighth-grade entrants in the Poplar flag contest and decided to combine their designs; consideration of a Sister City Monument was tabled until this fall.

The Village of Poplar Board selected two tied winners in the village flag contest at its May 12 meeting. The contest drew entries from sixth- and eighth-grade students at the School District of Maple; trustees said there were many submissions and described the decision as difficult. The board voted that a new flag design will be created using elements from both first-place entries, and Trustee Kory Gilderman will notify the winning students.

Separate New Business discussion on a Sister City Monument resulted in the board tabling the item until this fall; no schedule, design, location, or funding details were recorded in the minutes.

The flag decision is a community-engagement item recorded under New Business, while the Sister City Monument will be reconsidered at a later meeting.
