SUBJECT: TOWN OF NEWCASTLE FLAG
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended to Council the following:
I. THAT Report PD-31-86 be received; and
2. THAT an additional expenditure of Two Hundred and Sixty-five Dollars ($265.00) be
authorized for production of a flag prototype and the monies be drawn from the
Receptions and Tributes Account 7007-235-X-5.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
At the Council meeting of November 25, 1985, Council approved Resolution #C-625-85 author-
izing the expenditure, of up to Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) , for production of a flag

of a single prototype flag. Two of the quotes received were less than the Five Hundred
Dollar ($500.00) allocation and a third quote was received for an amount of Five Hundred ,

a superior quality prototype which, upon completion, would be suitable for
display in the Town' s Council Chambers, but not appropriate for outdoor
display.
The production method involves sewing, embroidering, and appliques on a
stronger and more durable material . Staff are of the opinion that this would
be the best method of proceeding with production of a single flag and would,
therefore, recommend that an additional expenditure be authorized to cover
cost of the flag as well as an expenditure for a complete floor unit to mount
the flag in the Council Chamber consisting of a wooden pole with brass maple
leaf top and flag cord and tassels.
Staff note that delivery of the flag would be from four (4) to six (6) weeks
following receipt of our order.
