Flagpole Construction Expense The City Administrator indicated that Mr. Tony Jarmoluk of the City's Beautification Committee has indicated that he feels it is appropriate for the City of Elk River to pay the cost associated with the erection of the flagpole in the downtown park. The City Administrator indicated that according to the City's Beautification Committee, the erection of the flagpole in the downtown park was to be at no expense to the City. Mayor Hinkle indicated that he had a problem with the Beautification Committee sub- mitting a bill after the fact. Councilmember Engstrom indicated that he was discouraged, as it was his impression that all of the work of the erection of the flagpole was at no cost to the City. Council- member Engstrom indicated that he felt the City should know ahead of time of the expenses that might be incurred. Councilmember Schuldt indicated that if the City is to pay for a portion of the erection of the flagpole, the City Council must approve the design of the base before any construction is done. Further discussion was carried on regarding the cost of the flagpole erection. It was the consensus of the City Council that the Beautification Committee be informed of the City Council's concern over the expense of the flagpole erection to the City and that the Beautification Committee must make request in advance of any further expenditures.
