According to this attached page from the city's "Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report" for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2004, this flag is an alternate
flag that was adopted in December 2003. The image of the flag is from the same
document. I don't know what the non-alternate flag looks like.
About the
cover:
The City of Copperas Cove is proud to place a picture of its new
alternate City flag on the cover of the Fiscal Year 2004-05 Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report. At a City Council meeting on August 15, 2000, a new City flag
was presented to the Mayor and City Council by Pam Lunde, designer of the new
City flag, and the "Fashion a Flag Contest Committee” which consisted of
Annabelle SmiCth. Rick Hoppe, Joyce Wilson, Bea Hammonds, Kathy Woehl, Neva
Moten, Annie Hoffpauir, and Sherri Hoffpauir. That flag continues to be
displayed in the Council chambers.
In 2003, city staff formed a public
relations committee to focus on promotion of our City to current citizens,
prospective newcomers and to improve quality or life for the citizens of our
community. As part of this commitment, the committee proposed to the Mayor and
City Council that the city of Copperas Cove adopt an alternate City Flag with
the five hills logo as used by the Joint Image Campaign that is comprised of the
City of Copperas Cove, Copperas Cove Economic Development Corporation, Copperas
Cove Independent School District and the Copperas Cove Chamber of Commerce.
At a City Council meeting on December 2, 2003, the Mayor and City Council of
the City of Copperas Cove, Texas adopted the alternate City Flag pictured on the
cover. The alternate City flag is being flown at all City facilities.
