Chester to sign sister-city MOU with Salto del Guayará, Paraguay; public events planned
Summary
Council previewed a memorandum of understanding to establish a sister-city relationship with Salto del Guayará, Paraguay, and invited the public to a Nov. 15 signing and related events including a presentation and a ticketed evening networking event.
City of Chester council discussed Resolution 135 on Nov. 10 to establish a sister‑city memorandum of understanding with Salto del Guayará, Paraguay.
Staff described the agreement as a basic exchange to foster culture, manufacturing ideas and relationship building between the two municipalities. The public is invited to the MOU signing on Saturday, Nov. 15 in council chambers; staff said the signing is tentatively scheduled at 11 a.m., followed by a 12:30 p.m. presentation for the Paraguayan delegation and a ticketed networking event in the evening at Dream Terminal. Staff said tickets for the evening event are $50 with a buy‑one‑get‑one offer.
Councilmembers noted the visit included Paraguayan dignitaries and that the MOU is “very basic” and intended as a relationship‑building measure rather than a binding program. The MOU was on the consent list for final passage; the transcript does not record whether council voted on it during the Nov. 10 meeting.
