(The Center Square) – The Spokane Valley City Council is considering a flag policy for the first time as jurisdictions in Idaho and elsewhere ban “nonofficial” flags at government buildings and public schools .

The topic came up on Tuesday night during the council’s regular meeting. Typically, the officials ask to put items on the advance agenda a few weeks ahead of time, but not in this case. Councilmember Al Merkel cited his own confusion with the timing, but it appears the agenda item came from outside of the dais.
