Depot Bay commissioners plan city flag contest; residency, 'no-AI' and council approval debated
Summary
Commissioners proposed a city-flag design contest with a $100 prize, debated eligibility rules (residents vs. ZIP-code), inclusion of tribal members and a 'no AI' rule, and agreed to draft rules and present the proposal to council before wide promotion.
Commissioners discussed launching a city flag design contest and a $100 prize for a selected entry. Committee member (Committee member) and Chair debated who should be eligible to submit designs — residents only or anyone with a Depot Bay postal address — and discussed whether to include tribal members; the commission agreed to draft rules and bring a proposal to the city council for approval before advertising in the city newsletter.
One commissioner emphasized that contest rules should prohibit AI-generated submissions: "No AI," (Committee member). Members noted the council would likely ask questions about eligibility and representation and suggested preparing a clear proposal and timeline so the contest could be included in a future newsletter only after council review and a commission vote. The commission agreed to place the flag rules and proposal on the July meeting agenda.
