My 10.1.24 Meeting Summary

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.
