Subject: RE: Proposed Resolution to Establish a City Council Policy on the Display of
Flags at City Facilities
Mayor Pulido and City Council:
I want to express my support of the proposed resolution to authorize the display of the Pride Flag
at Santa Ana City Hall to commemorate Harvey Milk Day and LGBTQ Pride Month.
I would also like to ask that you also include a provision in your resolution to require the flying
of the City of Santa Ana flag alongside the Flag of the United States and the California State
Flag and a provision to not allow the City of Santa Ana flag to be displaced by any other
flag. The Flag of the United States should always be placed in the position of honor. When our
City government adopts a resolution to display a commemorative flag as an exercise of
government expression, such as in support of Harvey Milk Day, LGBTQ Pride Month, the
accounting of those who are identified as Prisoners of War or Missing In Action, and other issues
of interest of our City, the City of Santa Ana's flag should also be flown to signify that the City
of Santa Ana supports the issue of interest represented by the display of the respective
commemorative flag.
While we celebrate LGBTQ Pride, let's celebrate City of Santa Ana pride!
Sincerely,
Phil Bacerra
