The <br />flag runners raised $4,400.00 for a flagpole and solar light to be installed in an Elk River Park. <br /> <br />It was first suggested a flagpole location behind left field at the Dave Anderson Athletic Complex near field <br />one. After further discussion, consensus was the Youth Athletic Complex (YAC) as the preferred location for a <br />flagpole. Staff agrees with this recommendation for location and cost purposes. <br /> <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />The flag runners will donate $4,400.00 to the City for a flagpole to be installed by park maintenance staff. <br />The flagpole will be similar in size to the one at Lion John Weicht Park. <br /> <br />YAC is the best option. We should be able to install both the flagpole and a light with the donation. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Flagpole Example <br /> Recommended Flagpole Locations <br /> <br />
