Approval of the Vietnamese Heritage and Freedom Flag Raising for District 7’s Black April Commemoration.

The City Council is asked to approve the raising of the Vietnamese Heritage and Freedom Flag on April 30, 2026, for District 7's Black April Commemoration. This flag, representing the Republic of Vietnam, is flown to remember the loss of South Vietnam's independence and honor those who fled communist rule. The display is permitted under Council Policy 2-1, which allows other flags to be flown with official ceremonial items. The Rules and Open Government Committee recommended approval on April 1, 2026, and the City Council will consider it on April 7, 2026. This is considered a temporary special event with no physical environmental impact.
