The old design has been in use for more than seven years, clerk Michelle Onley said.
The county ordered 1,000 of the new, larger and shinier pins, which cost $1.35 each, from Centrex Promotions last week.
While there’s no set policy on who’s eligible to get them, council members keep a stash for visitors – from children to dignitaries.
“We don’t have a key. We give people a lapel pin,” said chairman Kelvin Washington, who said he suggested it was time for an update.
The pins should arrive in four to six weeks, spokeswoman Melinda Edwards said.
