Council considered a ceremonial resolution recognizing the 34th anniversary of Ukrainian Independence Day and a companion request to permit a local Ukrainian organization to raise a flag at the city's ceremonial flagpole. Mayor Siquani said he "wholeheartedly endorsed" the resolution and the flag-raising and asked the council to support the request.
