Council approves continuation of military banner program with Clayton connection requirement

The Clayton Town Council agreed to let Rhonda Beck continue organizing the town’s military banner program for the coming year. Councilmembers said the program, which has run for several years, allows residents to display banners honoring service members; the only stipulation the council restated was that subjects must have a connection to Clayton, though they need not be residents.
Members noted prior practices: banners have been kept up for extended periods in the past, but program administrators prefer rotating photos and replacing banners when necessary. Councilmembers asked that Rhonda be notified before banners are temporarily taken down for holidays or special events.
The council gave the program a "thumbs up" and instructed staff to notify Rhonda that the program may proceed next year.
