| | 2. | | Review and Approval of the Sister City Agreement between Milwaukee and Zadar, Croatia.
Minutes note: Members were distributed original and revised draft agreements for review. The draft agreements can be found within Common Council File Number 140088.
Ald. Davis said that the original draft agreement was approved by the City of Zadar City Council but does not meet the City of Milwaukee’s format. There have been some diplomatic issues, but a revised draft agreement is before the committee after approval from the City of Zadar. The revised version contains the same language of the original but is arranged in a format consistent with the City’s standards.
Mr. Durtka moved approval of the revised draft agreement presented before the committee. There were no objections.
Ald. Davis announced that there will be a Sister Cities signing ceremony on Monday, May 1, 2015 at 10 a.m. in the City of Milwaukee City Hall Common Council Chambers. Mayor Tom Barrett from the City of Milwaukee and Consul General Jelena Grcic Polic, Ph.D., on behalf of Mayor Božidar Kalmeta, from the City of Zadar, Croatia, will sign the revised version of the sister city agreement, as approved by the committee and the City of Zadar.
