Approximately 8 months ago it was determined that the Lodi city seal should
be protected on the Web site, and that the City of Lodi should establish and
maintain ownership of the official seal. We do have a city flag. It was created
approximately 7 years ago when a contest was held by the Lodi Arts Commission
and City of Lodi to have local artists design and compete for the selection of
our official city flag.
The City seal was developed many years ago by city employees, and I was unable
to find anyone who knows the exact origin or artist. We have an official flower
(rose) and an official tree (grape myrtle) which were both adopted by
resolution, but I could find no council action officially adopting the city
seal. Based on the original sketch, computer images have been created, and then
auto detail stickers, collectors' pins, our official embosser, and even a wood
carving mounted on the front of the dais at the official meeting place of the
City Council. We have a local historian who specializes in Lodi's past, but not
specifically with regard to the City of Lodi government.
