VILLAGE OF PALMYRA BOARD OF TRUSTEES REGULAR MEETING
October 15, 2001 6:30 p.m.

"VILLAGE FLAG: Former trustee, Ann Guest asked the Board to consider creating a Village flag. She feels the flag on the steel pole should be ordered to half-staff for national and federal situations only. However, it's nice to be able to honor the passing of distinguished Village residents and this could be done by lowering the Village flag. It is also something that perhaps the Economic Development Committee (EDC) could use for a fund raiser. She passed out copies of the patch used by the Police Department and suggested something similar would be appropriate. Trustee DeVogelaere felt that the flag on the steel pole should be lowered especially since the Village found out it has the authority to lower when we deem necessary. The Village Clerk said problems arise when trying to decide who the flag should be lowered for and guidelines should be set. Chief Dalton suggested a committee look at different options, Trustee DeVogelaere should chair it. Mayor Gunkler asked Ann Guest to get some names and addresses of flag makers to the Village Hall and promised the matter would be looked into further."
