Claim of upside down display in city council chamber

It has been nearly a year since this claim was flagged (oh, a pun!), and no one has added a source. I searched fairly extensively online and was unable to locate anything that does not rely on the Wikipedia article itself.

If it is true that the flag was displayed in the chamber upside down (and I can readily imagine this sort of error occurring), it would make for a novel story, and I assume it would've been covered by the Star Tribune or the City Pages or some other news source as at least an amusing aside. But there doesn't seem to be anything to back up the claim, and rather than further perpetuating the story, I decided deleting the claim and adding this note was the best course of action.
