Title
Flag Policy for the City of Racine
Whereas, it is appropriate that the United States of American Flag be accorded proper respect and dignity; and
Whereas, it is the custom within the United States of America that its Flag be flown at half-staff to commemorate the death of certain persons of significant national, state, or local standing and for special periods of mourning; and
Whereas, it is proper that standards be in place for flying the flag at half-staff.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that all United States of America Flags flown over City of Racine buildings and property shall be flown at half-staff on occasions in accordance with Federal law, upon executive order of the President of the United States; upon executive order of the Governor of the State of Wisconsin; upon the day of burial in the event of the death of a Racine police officer or firefighter killed in the line of duty; and upon the death of active duty military personnel from Racine County.
