Adjourn the Work Session of February 24, 2020 Principles of Vexillology City Flag Project City Commission Work Session—Feburary 24, 2020 Background According to the North American Vexillology Association (NAVA), good flags share these common traits: 1. Simple: a child can draw them from memory. 2. Meaningful: images, colors or patterns should relate to what they symbolize. 3. Use 2‐3 basic colors. 4. Don’t include any writing or seals. 5. Don’t copy other flags, but can show connections to other places through similarities. Meta‐Analysis of 100 flag redesign efforts between 2015 and 2017 led to these conclusions: Approval of a process from elected officials increases the likelihood of successful adoption. Attempts to create a flag for city without a flag fare better than efforts to replace an existing flag. Providing guidance on flag design principles leads to better design and stronger winners (possibly a prize of some sort for the winning design). Organizations can be more successful than individuals acting alone. Involving students advances the cause‐ and involvement can create political support for flag designs. First, we need to build public support. Recommendations 1. Gather feedback from community members on the potential of Yankton having a city flag. Next, community members can create a City Flag Study Committee that would learn about the process of flag designing for a city, discuss best methods to gather flag designs, and outline guidelines for flag design submittals. The committee would need to build public support before we can gather flag designs for our city. Otherwise, we would be using time and resources for a cause that the public may not yet be invested in. Our goal should be to gather a cross‐section of local groups and citizens. 2. If a study committee of interested citizens chose to move ahead, it would be tasked with reading materials that would help them become more educated on the flag design process. Once the members have completed their respective research, they will come together and reach a consensus on whether or not the city should begin fielding flag designs 3. A town hall meeting can be where the committee will present their findings and their recommendations to the public. If it is shown that there is a positive response by the community, then City staff will recommend to the commission that the flag design process should begin and the city will begin fielding flag designs. Administrative Considerations Budget—Technology solution to accommodate the voting processing and/or collection of submissions. Costs associated with printing gallery show images. Design professional services polishing and finalizing the art for the graphics and brand standards. City supply of the final design flag and potentially a long‐term wholesale supply plan for public availability of flags for purchase. Identifying a manufacturer to make the flags as well as intellectual property and licensing policies. Getting the community to fly it—creative promotional ideas like giving one away at each new Chamber ribbon cutting, etc… Where will the City of Yankton fly it on city‐owned properties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²²²²² ,6%1²²²²;
