Koszalin county flag

Koszalin County (Polish: powiat koszalinski) is a powiat (county) in Poland, in West Pomeranian Voivodeship (Polish: Zachodno-Pomorskie ). The county seat is the town of Koszalin and the powiat includes the area around it, but not the city itself which forms its own separate urban powiat.

Coat of arms and flag of Koszalin County adopted during the first term of the County Parliament (1999-2002). Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of the law about the adoption of new symbols.
.
In the Polish edition of Wikipedia, I found the images of the symbols of Koszalin County. Please see this page.

I can confirm the real use, because I have seen some pictures of the meeting of County Council. Behind the meeting presidium was this county flag.

In "Godloibarwa Polski Samorzadowej" published by the Instytut Wzornictwa Prezwmyslowego in 1998, Koszalin is shown as W over B- and the flag was adopted 1959.
The Flag Bulletin, Vol VI, Nş 1-2 (Winter 1966-67), pg. 56 states:
"Koszalin [pop. 52,000] A town since 1266 and the capital of a voyvody since 1950. The first city flag, from the 19th century, was white over red, containing the colors of the often changed coat of arms. In 1960 a new coat of arms was adopted: on blue a silver horseman holding a shield with the Polish eagle and a banner with the Pomeranian griffin. The new city flag is of white over light blue horizontal stripes."
