As noted in the website promoting the City of South Bend Flag Design Contest, sb150.com/flag symbols such as city flags play a very important role in building local pride and loyalty, as well as providing a great opportunity for public participation during this year's Sesquicentennial. By having a public hearing on this proposed Resolution, it helps heighten awareness of the ongoing city flag design contest. We encourage people to submit their flag design by Monday, November 16, 2015, at 5:00 p.m. People of all ages are encouraged to participate. We recommend that this Resolution be sent to the Community Relations Committee and then heard at next Monday's Common Council meeting, so that some of the representatives from the South Bend 150 Celebration Com t" ee may be in attendance. Thank you. Most 1 - - Tim Scott, 1' Distncncil Member Gavin Ferlic, Council Member at Large Attachment
