Description of the flag

I've been told by City Clerk Rhonda J. Barone that the city flag of La Habra was adopted via Resolution 2455 on July 1, 1975. A contest had been held, and of 300 entries, 5 were chosen by the La Habra Art Association. From these 5 flags, the one designed by Mark Florian was selected by the city council. The resolution states that the flag depicts "the City of La Habra as it is geographically located with the 'pass through the hills' to the north and utilizing the red, white and blue colors of the flag of our beloved country."

La Habra, a city in Orange County, California, has a flag: https://www.facebook.com/LaHabraPolice/. It appears to be the former seal on a white field.

An alternate or old flag?
Photos taken at the Civic Center Plaza near the Orange County Courthouse (dated June 2022) show a different city flag. I asked the city clerk about this flag but received no answer.
