In the case that the request is directed to the City Council in writing, the item will be referred to the City Manager for action. Upon approval, the Public Works Services staff will be responsible for raising the special designation flag. Public Works will also be responsible for either storing the flag or returning the flag to the requestor, as appropriate. Children’s Memorial Flag. In 1997, the County Board of Supervisors advised the City that the City was expected to fly the Children’s Memorial Flag on two occasions. The first would be in the event of the death of a child due to violence in San Leandro. City Hall and County offices would be expected to fly the flag on the Friday following the death. The second is a standing annual event where every City, School District and County office is asked to fly the flag on the fourth Friday of each April. Otherwise, there is no expectation to have the flag flown at City Hall.
