of this type.)

The new design was ultimately approved by the City Council, but only informally. There was no official action taken. It was basically a decision of the City Manager and his management team.

The design is used in a variety of ways, in a variety of shapes and in a variety of colors. It constitutes the City Flag, is featured on City letterhead, appears on City brochures, on City vehicles, etc. Each department in the City has
altered it slightly to suit its own needs. It is featured prominently on the front of our City Hall and is the focal point in the City Council Chambers, rising behind the seated Council as they conduct their business.further and combined two biopesticides into a single plant. In a paper published in the 2010 Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology journal, these researchers tested the combination of plant-made TMOF and plant-made chitinase against larvae of the tobacco budworm.

Classical methods were used to breed genetically engineered (GE) plants producing TMOF with GE plants producing chitinase. The hybrid offspring produced both pesticidal proteins. Tobacco budworm(Heliothis virescens) larvae were fed leaves from the hybrid plants, or from GE plants producing either TMOF or chitinase, or from non-GE plants. The insects that were fed leaves from the TMOF-producing plants or the chitinase-producing plants developed more slowly than those fed with leaves from non-GE plants. But insects that were fed leaves from the dual-biopesticide plants developed even more slowly than the insects
