Municipalities listed below have been researched for municipal flags, mainly by searching their websites. Commonly U.S. cities use the city seal on a plain field as the city flag, so we have included information about the city seal where no
other flag is known.

The website at www.prcity.com shows no municipal heraldry.

The City of Redlands, known as a "city of churches", site of the University of Redlands, two big shopping malls and a charming old town area full of restaurants, antique and jewelry stores - about 75 miles East of Los Angeles,
was a target of the threatened suit by the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) for the presence of the cross in their seal. That seal, designed in 1963 by the local police sergeant, was voted for removal by the city council, citing city's
inability to defend against ACLU suit on the financial grounds. The old seal is still being displayed on the municipal vehicles and buildings, but with the lower, right panel covered with
the piece of the blue tape. Meanwhile, the city reverted to the pre-1963 seal on its stationary.

From Easy Reader web page reports that a senior at Redondo Union high School, Vanessa Pons, was the winning designer of a new city flag in 1999. The
16-year-old earned $500 for her design, a simple colorful depiction of the pier, the sun and a boat. The flag will be featured at the annual League of California Cities meeting later this month. The design will grace the city's first ever
civic flag. The design is likely that used as a logo at the top of the Redondo Beach home pages.

The flag of San Ramon shows its emblem, a crow against the sun as it flies over the hilly landscape of San Ramon. The crow was suggested to be the flag because of the street Crow Canyon Blvd, and the quantity of crows which live in
the city. This flag was adopted in 1983 when San Ramon became a city. This flag flies at the park, several shopping centers, and the city hall. I have seen one other variation of this flag. It had the words "Crow Canyon" below the picture in black instead of San Ramon in its robin-blue colors.

[The crow emblem can be seen on the City Council web page, but unfortunately no flag has been located yet - Editor.]
1) There is a flag for the city of San Ramon and it is flown in several places.
2) It is white with most of the elements of the seal at the City Council web page on it in the colors shown, green hills, black crow, yellow-gold sun and "San Ramon" in blue.
3) The wind wouldn't cooperate, but it appears that "California" may not be on the flag below the "San Ramon".
4) The circle around the elements shown in the image does not appear on the flag. What appears in the image is a city seal on a wall.
5) The elements extend the full width of the flag with some clear space at the edges, not just a seal in the center.

The city flag can be seen at
http://www.ci.south-pasadena.ca.us/government/citygov.htm where it hangs in the council chamber. It appears to be a white flag with the city seal and below it a red stripe with the city name on it.
