Sec. 1-9. Corporate seal.
The corporate seal of the city shall be a design within a
circle, one and three-quarter inches in diameter, with the word
"VIRGINIA" across the face; in the exergue this inscription
"CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE," and all of such words
shall be raised letters; the design being the same as that
heretofore in use as the seal of the city. No other seal shall
be used for the city and no paper issued by municipal authority,
which requires the seal of the city, shall be valid
unless the seal prescribed above be duly affixed thereto; provided,
however, that an identifying device, the design of which
was approved by the council of the city on July 6, 1971, shall
be used as the seal of the city for all purposes except those
where the corporate seal is required by law to be affixed to
any document. (Code 1959, § 1-9; 7-19-71.)
