Urbandale residents are once again invited to participate in the process to design and adopt a new flag for Urbandale. After a thorough review and selection process, the Flag Design Committee is excited to present the top five designs to the community for review and rating.
These five flags represent the culmination of months of collaboration and creativity from students, residents, historians, and design experts. Each design embodies the rich history, values, and aspirations of the Urbandale community.
An online survey for residents to review the flag designs and provide feedback is now open. The survey period will close at noon on Monday, April 22, 2024. This feedback will play a crucial role in determining the flag that will ultimately represent Urbandale for generations to come.
The survey is accessible through the city's official website, social media channels, and at City Hall. For more information and to access the survey, please visit www.Urbandale.org/flag.
"Our flag is a symbol of our identity and unity as a city,” said Mayor Bob Andeweg. “I encourage all residents to participate in this important process and help us choose a flag that reflects who we are."
Over 430 flag design submissions were received between October 2023 and January 2024. A committee of Urbandale residents, the Mayor, a Councilmember, and staff helped guide the project process. The five flags presented for the community’s rating were determined by the Mayor and City Council. The new flag will be unveiled at the Mayor's State of the City Address on Thursday, June 27, 2024.
