Dear Sahuaro District Residents,
City Council Members attend a lot of events where the United States Flag is presented in a flag ceremony. I have observed that residents use different practices for saluting the flag during flag ceremonies, the "National Anthem", and when the flag passes by in a parade, etc. The U.S. Code addresses flag
etiquette
in Titles 4 and 36.
When the
"National Anthem" is played or sung and a flag is displayed or while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
- (A) individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note.
- (B) members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute in the manner provided for individuals in uniform; and
- (C) all other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart; and
- (2) when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.
Here is the word of Title 4, U.S. Code, Section 9 "Conduct during hoisting, lowering or passing of flag":
- During the ceremony of hoisting or lowering the flag or when the flag is passing in a parade or in review, all persons present in uniform should render the military salute. Members of the Armed Forces and Veterans who are present, but not in uniform, may render the military salute. All other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, or if applicable, remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Citizens of other countries present should stand at attention. All such conduct toward the flag in a moving column should be rendered at the moment the flag passes.
There is also language in the U.S. Code that allows military, and public safety officers to salute the flag only at the time it is presented rather than when the flag enters the room as is customary. This is the practice most often utilized locally. This does not preclude the public from properly saluting the flag with their hand over their heart the moment the flag enters the room and until it is posted or is carried out of the room.
It is going to be a very hot weekend, so make sure you stay hydrated.
Sincerely,
Ray Malnar
Vice Mayor
Sahuaro District

Maricopa County
Small Business
Grant Program
Will Begin Soon
Grants will reimburse for business-related expenses
Maricopa County is providing relief to small businesses and non-profits impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board of Supervisors approved $23 million in federal CARES Act funding for the grant program as many businesses struggle to stay open or reopen. The Small Business Relief Program will provide up to $10,000 in grants to reimburse businesses and non-profits (501(c)3) for lost revenues during March and April. The application period opens next week.
"We know a lot of businesses would be going strong if not for the pandemic," said Clint Hickman, District 4, Chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. "What we have seen is unprecedented. The Board hopes this money can keep businesses and non-profits afloat, so they can keep people working and money flowing in the local economy."
Maricopa County partnered with the Arizona Community Foundation to administer this program on behalf of the County. Grants will be provided on a rolling, first come, first served basis until funding is exhausted or the grant period closes.
Applications will be accepted from July 9 through July 31, 2020. Applicants will need to meet pre-qualification guidelines, answer a series of questions about their business, and provide requested documentation.
The grants will be open to businesses and non-profits across Maricopa County, except those in the cities of Phoenix and Mesa since those cities also received significant CARES Act money and are operating similar programs.

HEAT RELIEF NETWORK
The City of Glendale continues its support of the Heat Relief Network this summer by providing hydration stations, refuge locations and water donation sites throughout the community. Valley municipalities, nonprofit organizations, faith-based communities, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) and area businesses work together as part of this network to help those who may be most vulnerable to heat-related illness or death.
Heat relief sites in Glendale include the Glendale Community Action Program (CAP) and Public Housing offices, as well as the Glendale Municipal Courts building. There are also heat relief sites at the Salvation Army-Glendale Corps and the Salvation Army-Valley of the Sun Korean Corps offices.
Hydration stations and water donation sites can be found on the interactive heat relief map provided by MAG:
The City of Glendale also offers several additional excessive heat-related programs, which include a Glendale emergency home repair program and utility assistance. Utility assistance is offered through the CAP office for qualifying residents. The emergency home repair program helps low-to-moderate income households in need of repairs such as AC unit or evaporative cooler repair. The City partners with Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona to offer this program. For additional information, contact Habitat for Humanity by phone at 623.583.2417 extension 108 or visit:
