CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS
Port of Moses Lake - Sister City -Japan
Port of Moses Lake Executive Director Jeff Bishop asked City Manager John Williams if Council
would be interested in pursuing sister city status with the Town of Toyoyama in Aichi Prefecture,
Japan. The Port of Moses Lake delegates will be traveling to Japan very soon for business and
would like to take a City Representative to Japan, if the Council is interested in establishing a
relationship with the Town of Toyoyama. After considerable discussion, the consensus from
Council would be not to pursue sister city status with another city at this time. The Council feels
honored to have been asked but they fear it would dilute the current program with our current
Sister City- Yonezawa, Japan. The offer has been declined.
New City Employees Introduced to the Council
Municipal Services Director Fred Snoderly introduced three of the six new employees in his
department to the Council. Present: Rudy Ornelas - Water Distribution Manager Operator in
Training, Robert Deleon - Engineering Tech II, Reuel Klempel -Water Division Foreman.
Absent: Steven Mugnos - Building Maintenance Worker, Scott Myers -Street Maintenance
Worker, and Caleb Henson -GIS Tech/Locator
