FROM: Mayor Lewis
SISTER CITY RECOGNITION
It has been suggested by Council Member Stanton, and I concur, that the Sister City
Committee in concert with the Arts Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, and any
other affected commission, develop a recommendation on how Carlsbad might incorporate
its Sister Cities' names/flowers/seals into a structure/sculpture planned for future inclusion in
a City park or facility. During the recent trip to Futtsu, Mayor Pro Tern Kulchin and Council
Member Stanton viewed a Sister City Monument in a public park commemorating Futtsu's
sister cities. Apparently it was a lovely monument surrounded by flowers in which the names
of Carlsbad and Futtsu's other sister city were inscribed./
Since the Council and I believe this is an extremely respectful tribute regarding sister city
relationships, I am recommending that we explore the alternatives for the development of
something similar in Carlsbad. Enclosed for your information is a photograph! of the
monument, and I would appreciate it if the Sister City Committee would, in cooperation with
other affected commissions, develop two or three alternatives with appropriate cost estimates
for City Council consideration.
