The United States flag and the state flag shall be flown at the city cemetery and the fire stations during business hours. The United States flag and the state flag shall also be flown at all city parks at any and all times that there are scheduled and/or organized gatherings at those places, and at any other times ordered by the mayor or city council.

(b)

Both flags to be flown. At no time shall the state flag be flown when the United States flag is not being flown, nor shall the United States flag be flown at any time when the state flag is not being flown or displayed.

(c)
