[Updated 6:20 p.m.] The Manassas Park Governing Body is rewriting a new ordinance that allows special flags to fly only on a handful of city-owned flag poles.
If passed, the new rule would prevent U.S. flags specialty flags representing specific causes, such as breast cancer awareness month from hanging on the city's 35 utility poles used to hang banners in years past. Instead, those flags would be hung only on 10 flagpoles owned by the Manassas Park City Government.
The body was set to make a decision on the new flag ordinance at its October 5 meeting. Initially, the officials were going to allow specialty flags to hang on utility poles underneath U.S. flags.Â
