East Wenatchee mayor presents revised banner-display policy; council discusses donations and display costs
Summary
Mayor Jerrilea Crawford presented a draft revised Banner Display Policy at the Feb. 19 workshop; councilmembers discussed whether the city may accept donations to fund banners, display schedules, and how costs for banners compare with flags. No formal action was taken.
Mayor Jerrilea Crawford presented a draft version of a revised Banner Display Policy to the East Wenatchee City Council at a workshop on Feb. 19, 2026. Councilmember Ken Arnold called the meeting to order at 5:32 p.m., and all councilmembers participated in discussion of the draft policy.
Council discussion centered on three practical points: whether the city can accept monetary donations from organizations or residents to fund banner displays, how display schedules would be managed, and the financial difference between flags and banners. The minutes record that comments were provided by all councilmembers present but do not quote any speaker verbatim. The council did not take any formal action on the draft policy at the workshop.
The discussion leaves open several follow-ups for staff: confirm legal/administrative permissibility of private donations for displays, produce a recommended display calendar and associated costs, and return a revised policy with cost comparisons between flags and banners for future consideration. The item will remain informational until the council requests action or a formal ordinance is drafted.
