As you are aware I am on the Board of the Glen Rock Dog Park. Eileen forwarded to the Glen Rock Dog Park Board your note that you sent earlier today to her regarding still receiving requests to have the flag at the dog park to be lowered to half-staff. With regard to this, I have a number or questions I have documented below. 

She also received the text below on Thursday, 7/23, apparently from you, and thought it was an FYI and that the Borough would be handling. Is that not the case? "Who" exactly is receiving these requests, and subsequently who is responsible/what are the action items?

Questions : 

1) Is the Borough aware the flag at Upper Faber is also at full staff?

2) Have you received any requests to lower the flag at Upper Faber?  Or is it only requests for the dog park? 

3) What group is responsible for raising and lowering the flags on Borough property?

4) Is the flag at the dog park considered Borough property?  If not, what is it considered? 

5)  How does the Borough receive notification of Federal or State requests to lower the flag?

6) How is that notification communicated to others? 

7) What are the parameters of the Federal or State requests to fly the flag at half staff? 

8) When were the other flags in the Borough lowered to honor Congressman Lewis? Who/ what group(s) lowered them? 

9) Who / what group lowers the flag at the 9/11 Memorial? 

These questions are pretty basic and should help to provide clarity. 

In addition to answering the questions, please forward the actual requests you referred to and also please add a flag discussion topic to the next Borough Council work-session agenda so this can be sorted out.  

Looking forward to your response(s) in a timely manner.

Thanks.
