Representatives from Taormina, Italy and Trouville, France will <br />be visiting Sunny Isles Beach to meet with local representatives, learn about our city and <br />determine if they would like to become Sister Cities with us. Representatives from our <br />city will also visit these two cities to determine if they are good matches for us. The <br />approximate cost of each trip should not exceed $10,000, for a total not to exceed of <br />$30,000. <br /> <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br /> <br />Upon approval of the budget amendment resolution, funding will be available in account <br />number 10-511-5542 <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Resolution <br /> <br />Date <br /> <br />1 DL- <br />"3-\tS-\~ <br /> <br />Agenda Item <br /> <br />http://sibagenda.sibfl.net/ agenda/Preview .aspx?I temID=734&MeetingID: <br />
