   4. Official City Flag Design

Minutes note: At the last Common Council meeting prior to the August recess there was a discussion regarding a potential new flag based on some citizens in the community. The Council referred the item to the Arts Board to give a report on whether the City Flag needs to be updated. The Board came to a consensus that the City flag needs to be updated; there is strong community support that points to the fact that there are a lot of citizens who feel the flag does not represent the city in the best light. Based on the Board discussion and following the guidance of resolution number 180339, the Arts Board asked that the Legislative Reference Bureau provide a background report on what has occurred up to this point and a summary for the Board make their recommendations and findings for a new flag. A subcommittee was formed by members DeLind, Klose, McSweeney, Kosarzyski, Ald. Kovac (in the event he declines, member Flores will take his place) and Harpole, to continue the discussion.
