Administrative Policy Committee | September 22, 2026

The City of Columbia's Administrative Policy Committee met on September 22, 2026, primarily to discuss and finalize a proposed flag policy for government properties. The policy clearly defines that only three flags—the American flag, South Carolina flag, and the City of Columbia flag—are permitted on city government flagpoles, with specific guidelines on flag size, condition, display times, and half-staff protocols aligned with presidential and gubernatorial orders. The committee agreed to forward the policy to the full city council for consideration at the October 6 meeting. No procurement, contracting, or budgetary matters were addressed during this session.
