Council approved UPDATE TO THE CITY’S FLAG POLICY AND DISPLAY OF THE PROGRESS FLAG [J. HEILMAN, Y. QUARKER, A. LOVANO, J. DEL TORO, J. CARTER] - Adopt Resolution No. 25-_____: “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST HOLLYWOOD AMENDING THE FLAG POLICY”, which will replace the Lambda Pride Flag currently on display in the Santa Monica Boulevard medians with the Progress Flag. SUBJECT: The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution to update the City’s flag policy to remove the displayed Lambda Pride Flag from the Santa Monica Boulevard medians and replace it with the Progress Flag. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 25-_____: “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST HOLLYWOOD AMENDING THE FLAG POLICY”, which will replace the Lambda Pride Flag currently on display in the Santa Monica Boulevard medians with the Progress Flag.
The proposal to replace the Lambda Pride Flag with the Progress Flag on Santa Monica Boulevard medians is a symbolic update to reflect broader inclusivity within the LGBTQ+ community. This change, funded by city resources, aims to enhance the city's commitment to diversity and representation without direct financial impact on residents.
For West Hollywood residents, this change in flag policy is primarily symbolic and does not directly affect daily life activities such as commuting, housing, or business operations. However, it reflects the city's ongoing commitment to inclusivity and may enhance community pride and visibility for underrepresented groups within the LGBTQ+ community.
