From the Gettysburg Times (http://www.gettysburgtimes.com/headlines/news/031103/flag.htm):

It's official: Gettysburg has a flag. During Monday night's meeting, borough council voted 7-1 to approve the design after hearing positive comments from the members of the public in attendance. Many people, including a few council members, were sporting buttons featuring the flag design. Council president Ted Streeter moved the flag issue to the top of the agenda, reminding the public that the council meeting is not a venue for debate, which is held in committee meetings. Seven people rose to speak, each speaking in favor of the flag.

The flag's designer is reported in another paper as Bob McIlhenny of Straban Township. According to my sources, the three stars represent the days in the battle of Gettysburg, the intersecting white lines represent roads converging on the borough. Source "The Evening Sun"
