Committee updates sister-cities ordinance terminology to 'Friendship City'
Summary
A technical correction to the city's sister-cities ordinance was approved to update the terminology to "Friendship City," aligning the ordinance with Sister Cities International naming conventions, the committee heard from city staffer Chris Lee.
The Milwaukee Common Council committee approved a technical amendment to the city's sister-cities ordinance to update the terminology to "Friendship City," a change staff said was intended to align city code with Sister Cities International's current usage.
Chris Lee of the City Clerk's office told the committee the change modernizes the ordinance language and provides consistency with the national organization that serves as a subject-matter expert on sister-city relationships. Alderman Chambers moved the measure and the committee approved it by unanimous voice consent.
The change described in the transcript is procedural and was presented as a technical correction rather than a substantive policy shift; the ordinance was ordered by the committee for passage in the segment provided.
