SAN LEANDRO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TITLE 1 CITY COUNCIL (i) City Councilmember of the City of San Leandro, past or present; (ii) City employee whose death occurred during the discharge of duty; (iii) City employee or retiree having served the City for 25 or more years. (2) Upon authority issuing from the City Manager's Office, similar recognition may be given in the case of a prominent citizen not holding or having held public office, whose accomplishments and contributions to the community clearly demonstrated a commitment over and beyond that which would be normally associated with the per- formance of work. (3) Flags will be lowered to half-mast as soon as practicable following notification of death of the above, and will ordinarily be continued until after the conclusion of burial services. In the event current notice is not given or the date of funeral is unknown, as is frequently the case, flags will be lowered for 48 hours from the day of notification. (4) Any person having definite knowledge of a death requiring City acknowledgment should immediately advise the City Manager's Office as the central point for notifi- cation of those responsible for handling our flags. Should contact with this office be impracticable, the information should be given, in order, to the Director of Public Works Services or to the Police Chief, who will then become responsible for taking action in conformity with the policy herein outlined. * Reference: U.S. Flag Code, adopted by the United States Congress, as amended by Congress and the President of the United States. 0.7.115: COUNCIL ACTION. The City Council, upon notification of the death of the above stated, may elect to adjourn a City Council meeting in respect of the deceased. ARTICLE 2 POLICY ON RAISING FLAGS 0.7.200: POLICY ON RAISING FLAGS AT CITY HALL. The purpose of this administrative policy is to establish a uniform policy to govern the raising of special flags at City Hall. 0.7.205: APPLICABILITY. As a general rile, special designation flags (such United Nations flag, flag of a Sister City, Chil- dren's Memorial Flag, etc.) will be raised only upon the direction of the Mayor or City Manager. Such flags will only be flown at City Hall, and when raised, shall replace the flag of the City of San Leandro, not the flag of the United States or the flag of the State of California.
