Information about the new and old flags from city commission memorandum
City Commission Memorandum 21-264 
TO: Mayor Steve Austin and the Board 
of Commissioners 
FROM: William L. "Buzzy" Newman, Jr., City Manager 
SUBJECT: Adoption of New Official City of Henderson Flag Design 
The 
accompanying resolution approves rescinding and superseding the current City of 
Henderson Official Flag design and adopting a new official flag design. 
As you may be aware, the City officially adopted a City Flag imprinted with the 
Scottish coat of arms of the Richard Henderson family in May of 1960. 
In 
July of this year, Mr. Jax Matthews came before this Board with a new proposed 
flag design that incorporates iconic symbols of our community such as the 
downtown railroad bridge, stars representing the two rivers of Henderson-the 
Ohio River and the Green River, goldenrods to represent the peace and 
tranquility of our community, a large blue bar in the middle representing the 
water around the city, and black bars on the edges to represent the 
determination and resolve of our citizens. 
Staff has worked with Mr. 
Matthews and his family over the past several months to make minor changes to 
the design and present the final design for consideration at this time. Your 
approval of the attached resolution is requested.
