Discussion:

3.C. Discuss pursuing sister city opportunities.
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada stated that he brought this opportunity to the committee with the idea that it could make Crete distinctive from other communities. After Al Vicante's presentation at the last meeting, the committee still had questions. Speaking to the mayor of another community who has a sister city was suggested, as well as talking with dedicated community member Janet Jeffries about her thoughts on sister cities. Research will continue and a decision will be made at a later meeting.
