Background In September 2020 Council approved the attached Flag Protocol Policy (Appendix “A”). One of the policy parameters set by Council resolution was that flags or banners would be flown on the courtesy pole for one (1)week. Current Status: The Village has received a letter (Correspondence 12i) from a local resident requesting that the Pride Flag be flown for the month of June. Analysis: The Flag Protocol Policy Parameters were adopted by resolution and Council may diverge from the policy by resolution. Options: Several options have been developed: Option One (1) Follow the policy as it is written. Option Two (2) Diverge from the policy by adopting a resolution allowing the flag to be flown on a one-time basis for the month of June. Option Three (3) Modify the policy by allowing changing the parameter to one that states that Courtesy Flags may be flown for up to a month unless there is competing interest(s); and if there are competing interests, each interest will receive an equal portion of time during which their flag will be flown. Option Four (4) Modify the policy by adding a parameter that the Pride Flag will be flown for the month of June.
