Sanok new flag

As of January 1, 2009 the rural commune of Sanok is sporting a set of brand new symbols.
The new Arms and flag were adopted on October 29, 2008 (resolution # XXVII/210/2008)

"Arms: on the tri-part shield, on the triangular upper, blue field is a Coat of Arms of the Land of Sanok (Ziemia Sanocka), a double-headed, golden eagle.
On the lower right, blue field is a noble Coat of Arms "Leliwa" - golden, six-pointed star and a crescent moon.
On the lower left, red field is a noble Coat of Arms "Ostoja" - two golden crescent moons and between them a silver sword with the golden handle pointing downwards.

Flag: a "chessboard" of four fields: white-blue-red-yellow (clockwise).
Ceremonial flag bears the Arms in the middle.
The proof sheet, attached to the law of October 29, 2008, shows the flag as a square. The description given in the same law has the flag in the ratio 5:8.
Most likely, both versions are acceptable - your guess would be as good as mine.
