Sitka, Alaska (KINY) - The Sitka Assembly on Tuesday night will approve a design for a new official City and Borough seal, and recognize the artwork of Aaron Traz Hill.
In January the Assembly approved the process for updating the city seal, which was to include a contest open to the public for entrants of any age to submit their ideas for a new seal.
Feedback on 13 entries was presented to the Assembly on Aug. 25, and the final five entries were reviewed by the Assembly on Sept. 22.
After discussion and deliberation, the Assembly agreed that “Entry #5”, depicting Mt. Edgecumbe, the O’Connell Bridge, a troller, a totem pole, and a USCG helicopter was the top choice for a new city seal.
The award for the winning design is $1,000 and will be paid from the Mayor’s contingency fund.
Upon passage of the resolution, a memo will be sent to all city staff reinforcing the direction to use all existing stocks of letterhead, business cards, and any other office supplies bearing the seal before ordering anything with the new city seal.
A provision was included in the resolution to allow for at least a three-year “overlap” period in which both seals will be recognized as the official seal, and this period can be extended by the Assembly if needed.
