Commissioners agree courthouse will fly only U.S. and official state flags until policy is formalized
Summary
After debate over flying the historical state flag, commissioners voted 5-0 to affirm the courthouse will fly only the official national and state flags until a formal flag-flying policy is adopted.
Commissioners debated whether the Courthouse should fly the historical state flag that some towns flew on commemorative days. Commissioner John Alsop noted the historical flag has been flown in the past; Commissioner Cyp Johnson observed that a 2018 vote to fly the historical flag had applied only to a single day.
Commissioner Joel Stetkis moved and the board voted 5-0 to affirm that the County Courthouse will fly no flags other than the official National and State flag until such time as the commission formalizes a flag-flying policy. No change to the current practice was implemented pending drafting of a formal policy.
