7ity Council meeting of November 20, 1989 ,age 3 sand from this area; however, any efforts to intensify the use of this property or provide for industrial or commercial use of same, would be inconsistent with the City's comprehensive plan at this time. In that the City has no contour map on file with regard to the activities taking place on site by Mr. Indykiewicz, City staff recommends that prior to issuing a permit in 1990, Mr. Indykiewicz prepare a topographic map showing the existing contours and proposed final elevations for the site. Atkinson made motion, McAllister seconded, to renew the Mining Permit for George Indykiewicz until November 1, 1990,, subject to the previous conditions as amended and set forth by the City. Mining permit not to be renewed until current certificate of insurance submitted as identified in Condition #22 of the permit. All aye' Motion Carried. TEMPORARY MOBILE HOME PERMIT (KEYSTONE BUILDERS) This matter was withdrawn from the agenda at the request of Mr. Bob Kiewel on behalf of Keystone Builders. 8.2 SISTER CITY MEMBERSHIP Donsistent with previous Council discussions, the City staff is -ecommending that the City of Hugo apply for membership in Sister Cities International which will provide with assistance and guidance in pursuing the Sister Cities Program for the City of Hugo. Sister Cities International gives the community a central clearing point to which it can turn to obtain assistance and information about programs. It provides direct access with embassies, government agencies, and organizational resources in the United States and throughout the world. Communities, such as Hugo, simply do not have the resources to pursue this type of effort, but in cooperation with other communities, and with the resources of the National Association, the City's goals could be accomplished. Sister Cities International is a membership organization, and charges a minimum fee to cover the expenses of publications and consulting services to assist U.S. communities in forming new affiliations. Membership dues are usually paid by the city. The city pays half the annual dues as a service fee during the initial stage of program formation. Based on the current population of the City of Hugo, are initial application fee would be $100.00 of which the City would have to pay $50.00 up front' The annual dues for membership, after initial membership, would be $100.00 per year. After a lengthy discussion regarding the pro's and con's of this project, and with the understanding that the City could withdraw should a lack of interest be shown, the following motion was made: Atkinson made motion, McAllister seconded, that the City of Hugo apply for membership in Sister Cities International, for an initial application fee of $100.00. All aye. Motion Carried.
