t~ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: HRA, City Council, Terry Maurer, Peter Beck, Lori Johnson, <br />Scott Clark, Cathy Mehelich, Heidi Steinmetz, Phil Hals, Jeff <br />Beahen <br />FROM: Pat Klaers, City Ad in ~~tor <br />~~ ,/ r/GG/Yg/ <br />DATE: September 29, 200 ~~ <br />SUBJECT: Downtown Flag <br />The situation with the downtown flag pole has changed in the last few months. The school <br />district volunteered to accept the flag pole; however, the actual relocation of the flag pole is <br />going to be on City property directly east of the County Administration building in the old <br />King Avenue right-of--way. In this regard, school superintendent Allan Jensen and I have <br />discussed the situation and we both believe that it is more appropriate for the City to retain <br />ownership and maintenance responsibility for this community asset. The City very much <br />appreciates the willingness of the school district to step forward and accept the flag pole so <br />that it could be retained in the downtown area, but in the final analysis it turns out that their <br />assistance is not necessary. <br />The flag pole is scheduled to be relocated sometime in October. The City will retain <br />responsibility fox maintenance of the flag pole and of the flag and for the grounds <br />surrounding the flag pole (concrete brick pavers are now being planned for this area). If <br />anyone has questions regarding this situation, please feel free to contact me. <br />S:\ADMIN\PAT\2005\09 21 council flag polememo.doc <br />
