City Administration informs me that City of Bradenton, Florida, has no flag.
"I had contacted the Manatee County Historical Library and the City Facilities
Manager and found that we don't really have an official city flag. At some
point, a flag bearing the likeness of Hernando de Soto was used, but was later
deemed politically incorrect.

Council, City of Bradenton"

From East Volusia (News-journal), Sunday, November 30, 2008:
Holly Hill to proudly fly new city flag by S. Burdette, Correspondent
HOLLY HILL -- Who needs consultants and high-priced graphic artists to design
your city's flag when you have access to 132 talented students from Holly Hill's
elementary and middle schools? Holly Hill didn't. When the city decided to have
a flag designed, they asked students at the two schools to submit their best
ideas and the children did not disappoint the City Commission. After sifting
through 132 entries from the students in a "design the city flag" contest,
commissioners chose the design submitted by Travis Myers, an eighth-grader at
Holly Hill Middle School. Myers and two other finalists were honored at the
commission meeting Tuesday, where the new flag was unveiled.
The contest
was the brainchild of Commissioner John Penny. The city had wanted to fly the
American flag at half-staff to honor the passing of Holly Hill Utilities
Supervisor Ray Beltrami but learned it would run afoul of the often-violated
United States Flag Code, which outlines specific circumstances under which the
flag can fly at half-staff. They could, however, legally fly a city flag at
half-staff but until now, didn't have a flag to fly. "All the kids did a great
job," Penny said. "Some fantastic designers." "There is going to be a first,
second and third place but they're all winners," added Mayor Roland Via as he
handed out the awards.
[...]
The new flag measures 5 feet by 8 feet. It
cost about $250 to make the first one but Penny pointed out the city saved on
design fees by using the creative talents of the students. City Manager Tim
Harbuck says they will probably order two more for inside City Hall, including
one for the commission chambers. Harbuck would also like to make them available
for sale to the public so businesses can fly them in front of their stores but
he has not yet worked out the details on how that might work."

The Tampa Bay suburb of Spring Hill, in Hernando County, uses a yellow field,
with a red band surrounding it, a red cardinal in the middle in a field of four
white flowers, and a tapered red banner above the cardinal reading "SPRING
HILL", in white letters. A more recent variation contains a tapered yellow
banner reading "SPRING HILL" in red letters above the cardinal.
