On Tuesday the Council met and discussed one significant item:
- We discussed the process for adopting a City flag. Most cities in Contra Costa County have their own flag. We had received a presentation from an officer of the North American Vexillological Association (an organization of flag enthusiasts and scholars) which described the process and purpose of adopting a City flag, as well as some considerations regarding certain aspects of flag design.
The Council generally felt that adopting a City flag could be an exercise that brings community together and we will consider taking up the item at a future time.
- There were also two items from the consent calendar that we pulled for further discussion. A contracting extension for some staff augmentation, as well as an agreement with our current investment broker to update our relationship to a managed service. The Council requested more information and a presentation brought back so the full Council and community could understand this proposed change.
