Summary

Council favored Design Option No. 2 for a City of Delano flag; staff will proceed with that design. Staff also reminded Council of an employee picnic on June 22, discussed a ribbon‑cutting for the Central Park Pavilion and noted concerns about tent placement for Fourth of July events.

Administrative Services Director Alisha Ely presented several design options for a City of Delano flag; Council generally supported a dark blue background and preferred Design Option No. 2 because of its larger established date and the inclusion of the full Delano name. Ely said staff will proceed with the preferred design.

City Administrator Phil Kern reminded Council of the annual employee picnic scheduled for June 22 from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM and suggested holding a ribbon‑cutting for the new Central Park Pavilion following the picnic; staff anticipates substantial completion of the pavilion in the coming weeks. Kern also noted the annual intergovernmental trap shoot scheduled for July 27 and discussed council concerns that tents placed adjacent to the new pavilion during Fourth of July festivities could obstruct or detract from the structure; Kern said the current event permit does not specifically authorize tent placement adjacent to the pavilion.

No formal action was recorded; staff will proceed with the preferred flag design and continue event planning.
