Taʼrif
English: The Flag of Northampton, Massachusetts, designed in 1988 and described as follows--

Proportions: 3:5 Formal description: On a dark green field, a medium blue stripe with white fimbriations, running from the upper fly to the lower hoist and forming a "U" shaped curve in the lower fly; placed in the center of the curve and with its point facing to the fly, a gold feather. The symbolism is described as follows:[1]

The green field has multiple meanings. First, it represents one of the city's nicknames, "The Meadow City," and recalls its agricultural past...Green also represents the many verdant areas within the city, especially, Child, Laurel and Look Parks, and is indicative of the future vitality and growth of Northampton...

The blue stripe with white fimbriations represents the Connecticut River, New England's longest. The shape of the stripe indicates the unique configuration of the river which occurs in Northampton. The river forms a very sharp curve called the "Ox Bow," as it reminded the early settlers of the bow in an ox yoke...

The feather, like the other symbols, has several meanings. It signifies the original inhabitants of the area, the Nonotuck Indians. A single eagle, hawk or turkey feather in a Nonotuck brave's headband was a mark of honor, as it showed he took the life of an enemys. The feather, shaped to look like the quill pen, also represents the statesmen of Northampton, most notably Caleb Strong, Governor of Massachusetts and a delegate to both the Massachusetts and United States Constitutional Conventions. It is also indicative of Calvin Coolidge, Mayor of Northampton, Governor of Massachusetts and 32nd President of the United States. The feather is placed between the curve of the stripe as if it were in an ink well.

Definition of "public record"

Public records are defined in A Guide to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, Published by William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Division of Public Records, (Updated January 2017) at https://www.mass.gov/files/2017-06/Public%20Records%20Law.pdf on page 40, under M.

Limitations of template usage

This is consistent with the statement at http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ARC/arcres/residx.htm:

"Those records created by Massachusetts government agencies and institutions held by the Massachusetts Archives are not copyrighted and are available for public use. Copyright for materials submitted to state agencies may be held by the person or organization that created the document."

Note: Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author; the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution prevents state law from overriding the author's right to copyright protection that is granted by federal law. For example, a state agency may post images online of the final appearance of a building under construction; while the images may be "public records", their creator (eg. architecture/construction firm) retains copyright rights to the image unless the contract with the agency says otherwise. See: Government-in-the-Sunshine Manual: To what extent does federal law preempt state law regarding public inspection of records?.
