The original SUPPORT THE TROOPS BANNER presented to city council

I thought some of you might find this interesting.  I just found this yesterday while researching those four large stacks of data on my lawsuit.  I can't for the life of me understand why the Historic Preservation Committee did not receive a permit request for the banner from the Little Falls City Council, since the banners were donated to the City.  Was it really as Randy Fossum(former planning and zoning commission member) commented at one of the planning meetings in 2012, that "the City should not have felt it had exclusion from their own rules?"
