Dear City Council Members and City Clerk,
I am writing to follow up on the correspondence I previously submitted regarding the display of the Pride
flag on city property.
I would appreciate confirmation that my letter was received and entered into the public record. If there is
a city policy, agenda item, or public process governing decisions regarding flag displays, I would also
appreciate information on where I may review it.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Ms. Tamayo Holiday

I am writing to share my personal perspective regarding the display of the Pride flag on city property
or as part of official city flag arrangements.
While I respect that many individuals and groups hold deeply meaningful beliefs and identities, I do
not support the use of government or city display spaces for ideological or symbolic flags that do not
represent the community as a whole in a neutral way.
In my view, city spaces should remain inclusive and representative of all residents equally without
endorsing specific social or political messages through official symbols. Maintaining neutrality helps
ensure that public institutions remain welcoming to everyone regardless of personal beliefs.
I want to share that this is disappointing to me personally, as I take pride in my city and appreciate its
commitment to serving and respecting all people. However, I do not believe that official symbolic
displays that represent specific viewpoints reflect that goal of equal representation. In my view, such
displays move beyond inclusion and into endorsement, which many residents may not feel
represents them.

The presence of the pride flag may be considered to be inclusive while it outright excludes others
and is a misuse of the role of the city’s government.
Public institutions serve the entire community, and I believe official displays should reflect shared
civic identity rather than selected symbolic messages. I respectfully encourage the city to maintain
consistent standards for flag displays that uphold equal representation for all members of the
community.
I appreciate the city’s service to all residents and encourage continued focus on unity, shared civic
values, and fairness in public representation.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Grace Tamayo Holiday
