Dear City Council,
IMHO, December 2 City Council Agenda Item #9 friendship cities should not be on the
consent calendar.
I think that we should have no more than one friendship or sister relationship per country.
Please watch this under 10-minute speech by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on September
11, 1956 on the sister city international website and ask yourselves whether what you are
contemplating makes sense. https://sistercities.org/about-us/our-history/
Sister Cities are intended to be about people-to-people - - - not government-to-government.
Stop the boondoggles!!!
We are in a budget crunch.
Thanks,
Rhoda Fry
