The official gazette of Koprivnica and Križevci County is
available on line at <www.glasila.hr>.
In the on-line numbers one can find descriptions of coat of arms
and flags of communities, mainly in their statutes adopted in
2001 (after some non-flag related administrative changes
requiering adoption of new statutes). So, these statutes do not
introduce the symbols. Further on, not all new statutes describe
the symbols. Some only mention that there is some other decision
regarding the coat of arms and flag (sometimes quoting the
titile, sometimes not), and sometimes there is provision that
such decisions shall be made.
One of them is Statut Opcine Gola, 25. rujna 2001. Službeni
glasnik Koprivnicko-križevacke županije, br. 10/01,
god. IX, Koprivnica, 28. rujna 2001.
The coat of arms is: Vert within border or an oak leave argent in
bend. The oak leave is said to represent the terittory of the
community between Drava and state border towards Hungary, Gola
being one of the rare places where Croatia speads on the other
side of Drava on the whole its way between Medimure and Baranja.
Green field and golden border stand for oak woods, pastures and
corn fields of the region.
The flag is green with the coat of arms in the middle.

The oak leave is described to be "slightly slanted",
but this slightly is very literal, and I would never choose to
describe it like that.
Ministry of Administration approved the design on 18 January
1996. The designer of this coa and flag is Mladen Vecenaj, famous
painter from Gola - otherwise most well known for his nadve
paintings, but he is also active in political life in Gola, and
was member of community council at the time (and probably still
is).

The official gazette since 2000 is available on the web site
of the County at <www.kckzz.hr>
including decisions on symbols of its cities and communities. The
communities adopted new statutes in 2006, typically containing
the descriptions of coat of arms and flags adopted previously, so
I just quote them for documetry purposes:
Gola: The new statutes adopted in 2005 and 2006 repeat the
prescriptions of the previous statutes already quoted above:
Statut Opcine Gola, 4.04.2005, Službeni glasnik
Koprivnicko- križevacke županije, br. 5/05, 12.05.2005.
Statut Opcine Gola, 16.01.2006, Službeni glasnik
Koprivnicko- križevacke županije, br. 1/06, 26.01.2006.
