Discussion and possible action to approve 2025 membership with Sister Cities International and authorizing dues in the amount of $1,030.00 with further action to transfer to Account #1001-1010-001-464010 (Dues & Membership); and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #2031-1010-001-432001 (Professional Services)]

Issue: On October 14, 2024, the Commissioners Court approved establishing a Bi-National Relations Committee with efforts to create international relationships based on trade, economic development, business, cultural, educational and information exchanges.

Solution: The first step for us moving forward with the approved item by the Commissioners' Court would be for us to become an official member of Sister Cities International.

Result: This will allow us to better network with international counterparts and have resources available for what we want to achieve. Additionally, SCI would assist with any required documentation we would have to archive and keep track of moving forward.
