So if there are— we have that— we'll talk about this, the Juneteenth proclamation at the 6 o'clock meeting, but it's a proclamation honoring Juneteenth based off of Utica significance. There is somebody who did submit a request to fly a flag over it. They did not request the council to do it. They requested the mayor. That application exists, I have no problems about it.

This is just a proclamation honoring Juneteenth and Utica's significance in it. There are people who requested to raise a Juneteenth flag. They requested the mayor to do it. It wasn't a Common Council requests. I don't know what— where the application stands with that, but anything we pass though could end up being a flag raising at some point for not just proclamations. If they wanted to.

Yeah, anything we pass, anything we pass is city expression, and that's— so we're not approving a flag. Anything we vote on is city expression. People have the right to do a flag application based off city expression. This isn't— this is just honoring— this is just honoring Juneteenth.
