City council approved an update to its sister city policies, which reduces the size of official delegations to a recommended minimum of the Richmond mayor or acting mayor and two other members of city council. Other participants in an official delegation will be at the discretion of council.
Updated wording also softens the language around requirements and recommendations, and removes the time-sensitive nature of delegations visiting sister cities.
