Agenda Title:
Acknowledge 20 year commemoration of Sister City, Nikko City, Japan.
Summary:
Agreements were signed in 1994 establishing Sister City designations between Rapid City and Apolda, Germany and Imaichi, Japan.  In 2006, Imaichi combined with four other cities to form Nikko City and Rapid City was selected as Nikko City’s sister city.  The purpose of a City Sister partnership is to further friendship and to contribute to both cities’ growth and development through the exchange of education, culture, industry and economy. Mayor Kooiker, who was born in Japan, visited Nikko City October 12-18.  As part of the visit, he stayed with a host family, toured a number of cultural sites in the community and met with his counterpart, the mayor of Nikko City along with the chairman and vice chairman of Nikko’s City Council.
