   A.   Subsection 21A.46.070K of the City Code allows the location of signs on publicly owned land or inside street rights-of-way, if such signs are erected by permission of an authorized public agency.

   B.   The City has determined that it would be beneficial to the City as a whole to display a flag on the City and County building for the limited public purpose of encouraging and promoting the use of wind generated energy. Any speech on the flag is the speech of the City, rather than the speech of any private person or entity.

   C.   In allowing this limited signage on the City and County building, the City does not intend to create a public forum, but rather intends to create a limited forum for the purposes set forth herein.

   D.   This chapter is also intended to establish applicable time, place and manner restrictions, and constitutes permission by the authorized public agency for purposes of subsection 21A.46.070K of the City Code of the signage described herein. (2019 Compilation)

The City has the sole right to determine when, where and for how long such flag shall be displayed.
