Charlottesville Sister Cities Commission
AGENDA
Meeting April 20, 2021
Zoom

I. Approve March 16 meeting minutes

II. Updates on funding: the city budget request did not move forward for final approval. A question was brought
up last month concerning the $1000 allotted to cities for approved expenses. Let’s discuss this matter further.

III. One of our grant recipients, Rachel Mclaughlin, would like to make some changes to her original proposal
as mail in Huehue is not super reliable. Kate is meeting with her on Friday afternoon (4/16) and should have
specifics to share. If there is additional funding needed, we can vote on those requests.

IV: Nominating/selecting a CSCC Secretary - a permanent position would be ideal. Please consider this and let
us know if you are interested in taking on this important role.

V: Quarterly committee meetings - let’s set a spring date!

VI: Young Artist and Author Showcase/Besancon news - update from Elizabeth.

VII: It was brought up that each monthly meeting should have a designated time for each city rep - I believe
we’ve done this in the past. Should we add this to the agenda each month?

VII: Gary O’Connell wrote to Brian Wheeler about Pleven’s “City Day” in May - they celebrate their sister
cities on that day. Apparently the reps travel to Pleven for this. Is this something we are interested in, or are we
no longer taking part in Pleven activities?
