BACKGROUND
Council Member Boyer
"The National League of Cities has aggressively sought to develop programs and international working
relationships which recognize cities as increasingly critical players in the global economy.
In early August, 1993, the National League of Cities will be conducting a Local Government in China Study
Tour for purposes of enhancing economic cooperation between municipalities in the United States and
China. Council Member Boyer has been asked to be one of four municipal elected officials participating
in the program. The other invited officials include representatives from Golden Valley, Minnesota
(population 22,000); Sandy City, Utah (population 67,000); and Las Cruces, New Mexico (population
54,000).
The program includes visits to cities in China of the approximate size of the cities represented by the
National League of Cities delegation. Pacific Rim economic relationships will be a key component of these
meetings.
The cost to the City of Santa Clarita would be approximately $1,660 for round trip air fare.
