Chester to sign sister‑city MOU with Salto del Guayará, Paraguay; public events scheduled
Summary
The council discussed Resolution 135 to establish a sister‑city relationship with Salto del Guayará, Paraguay, with an MOU signing scheduled Nov. 15 in council chambers and subsequent cultural and networking events open to the public (ticketed reception).
Councilmembers on Nov. 10 reviewed an agenda item to ratify a memorandum of understanding establishing a sister‑city relationship between the City of Chester and Salto del Guayará, Paraguay.
Staff said constituents are invited to the MOU signing scheduled for Nov. 15 in council chambers, with additional programming including a housing‑program briefing and an evening ticketed networking reception. Councilmembers discussed logistics and staff said ticket information and event links would be posted publicly.
The MOU was characterized as a basic, boilerplate agreement to exchange ideas on culture and manufacturing and to build a relationship between the two municipalities; Councilman Green (referenced by staff) made the first contact with the Paraguayan delegation, staff said. Resolution 135 was placed on the agenda for final passage; no final vote was recorded during the meeting.
