Avalon is in Cape May County, New Jersey. There
is a photo with a rather indistinct view of the Cape May County flag at
http://cmcpoliceacademy.org/memorial.html. The flag is red at the fly end -
the rest is hard to determine because of glare and shadow, but in any case, not
the white flag appearing with the Avalon flag in the pages found by Dov.

http://www.belmar.com/history/flag.html:
The first flag was the one carried by the Belmar Battalion, N.J. Militia Reserve
and was made by Mrs. Wm. Ripley Cobb. The painting of the Coat of Arms on the
Flag was the work of Phillip Brunin. This flag was first shown to the public on
the evening of April 18th, 1918, when it was formally entrusted to the Battalion
by his Honor Mayor George W. Van Note. The colors of the Municipal Flag are
Jersey Blue and Colonial Buff. These are distinctly New Jersey colors and were
first selected by George Washington, because New Jersey as well as New York were
originally settled by the Dutch and Jersey Blue and Buff figured in the
Netherlands Insignia.
No image is provided, although the coat of arms can be seen at

Here may be seen a photograph of Mayor Gilmore with the flag flying next to
him, slightly clearer:
http://www.hamiltonnj.com/common/photos/Irish_flag_03092005.html. Note, that
on the flag, it is depicted in black and white line drawing, but the shield at
the bottom of the seal, which extends beyond the circular boundary, is in
colour.
Here may be seen a copy of the seal, on the Mayor's news release, citing his
support for a flag protection ordinance, which is interesting of itself:

date is 24, July 2003. You might have to scroll down the page.

http://www.stoneharbornews.com/A%20_Archival%20Museum.htm:
"The original colors of the Borough were gold and green. In fact, the first
Borough flag had a gold colored imprint on a green field. I remember seeing it
at my early attendance at Borough Council Meetings. Some thought that flag was
in the Borough Hall attic, having been placed there after Mrs. Catherine
Letschie designed the new multi-colored Borough logo which was placed on a flag
with a field of blue. We’re still searching, but it doesn’t look like we will
find the original green and gold flag . . ."
