Good morning, Ms. Sunseri:

Please advise if any further action is required.
Thank you!

Re agenda item 7.1, Town Council meeting June 16, 2020
First of all I would like to commend the extraordinary efforts of the Town Council, the Town
staff and the Police Department during these most challenging times.
Thank you!
I would like to comment on the proposed resolutions 46-2020 and 47-2020.
To the point, I feel it is most important to keep it simple.
The Council should formalize and codify the historic primacy of the American flag and the
California flag on Town flag poles following Federal guidelines. Furthermore, I would suggest it
is in the best interest of the community-at-large to avoid the display of commemorative flags on
these same Town flag poles. Adopting a policy allowing commemorative flags will most
certainly result in similar requests from innumerable worthy causes and organizations. Any such
precedent will put the Town in the position of picking and choosing. There will be inevitable
challenges from those denied, with resultant legal implications. I am most concerned that the
Town avoid any policy that would potentially divert time, energy and resources away from the
important business at hand.
The past practice of issuing Town proclamations in support of worthwhile causes seems most
appropriate going forward.
Certainly, I vigorously support any and all efforts by the Town Council that focus on measures
that protect and represent ALL members of our special community.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectively,
Bob Sada
