Adoption of Updated City Flag Design

Executive Summary
On August 1, 2022, the City Council postponed action on adoption of the updated city flag. Council has asked staff to return this item to the agenda for consideration.
Background
The current city flag was adopted by the City Council in 2008. This winter, facilities staff noted that the current supply of city flags was nearly exhausted and that the current vendor was no longer in business. Staff discussed updating the city flag to match the current branding and style of the City. The City’s logo, color scheme, and official fonts were changed in 2017. Staff developed an updated flag design and shared the updated design with Council through the Council Update email in February 2022. Staff also reached out to the Blaine Historical Society regarding the updated flag. Hearing no feedback from Council or the Historical Society, at that time, staff moved forward with the updated flag.
