§ 2-1. Official seal.

(a)

The impression of the City seal shall be made and used upon official documents executed by the City or its duly authorized officials.

(b)

The City Clerk shall be the custodian of the City seal.

(c)

The City seal is described as follows:

(1)

The shape is round. A gold band circles the seal. The width of the band is approximately 15 percent of the outside diameter of the seal. The band is bordered, on the outside and inside, with a narrow black line.

(2)

Block lettering around the upper part of the gold band reads "CITY OF LA PALMA" and lettering around the lower part of the band is "CALIFORNIA," in upright position. All lettering is black.

(3)

The upper inner area is a medium blue colored background, covering approximately 60 percent of the total inner area and separated from the lower part, which is a medium green color, by a horizontal thin black line.

(4)

The central figure is a torch. The upper part of the torch is bowl-shaped. It and the stem are gold and the stem is held in a white colored hand, outlined in black.

(5)

The flame is also gold around its outside area, surrounding a red flame in the center of which is a white flame. The torch configuration is imposed in the center, partly in each colored field. In the upper part of the blue field, to the left, is a white factory building and just below it is a white ranch type house, both outlined in black.

(6)

To the right of the torch is a California Fan palm tree, with approximately one-fourth of the black trunk in the green area and the upper part in the blue area. The fans are green, outlined in black. To the left of the torch, a black and white cow grazes in the lower green area.

(7)

Below the torch, in black lettering is the corporate identification:

"'INCORPORATED

OCTOBER, 1955'"
