City approves vote tally for new Dodge City Flag
The votes are in and with 212 votes, the citizens of Dodge City voted on the
new black-starred, gold backdrop with black and white stripe, to represent Dodge
City as its new flag. According to city officials, there were five options to
choose through for the new Dodge City Flag with the vote concluding on March 31.
City officials said the flag will serve as a symbol for Dodge City and a source
of civic pride. According to city public information officer Abbey Martin, there
were 658 total votes tallied for the flag options.
"The flag contest idea
started when we were doing the rebrand process with A|D Creative," Martin said.
"They did provide a flag design but staff thought it would be best to have more
community input on it so in August (2020), we launched the design portion of the
contest and did receive some local designs."
In March the flag designs
went to a vote for citizens and the approval of that choice came during the
Monday city commission meeting.
According to city staff, the golden color
of the flag represents both wheat fields and the native tallgrass of the Western
Kansas prairie. The thin black line represents the bedrock of the past, on top
of which the white stripe represents both progress and hope for the future. The
circled black star is a nod to the marshal's badge of a Wild West lawman and
ties into the new Dodge City Seal.
Commissioners approved the new flag
with a 4-0 vote.
