Page 4 of 12
6.5.1 The Chamber agrees to comply with all applicable local, state, and federal
laws.
6.5.2 The Chamber will ensure that all personnel engaged in providing the Services
on behalf of the City shall complete the Success University Program
Overview Training once a year, when offered, which training the City offers to
the public at no cost.
6.5.3 All personnel engaged in providing the Services on behalf of the City shall
observe all the graces of personal grooming, keeping a neat, clean, well
groomed, and comport themselves in a professional and courteous manner,
and shall never have been convicted of a felony.
6.5.4 All personnel engaged in providing the Services on behalf of the City are
considered "ambassadors" of the City and, shall (at a minimum) comport
themselves as follows in the discharge of their duties: greet dignitaries or
other representatives of the Sister Cities upon arrival and departure; make
every attempt to quickly and courteously expedite any reasonable requests
for information with respect to accommodations or other services related to
the Services to be performed under the MOU.
6.6 Within sixty (60) days from the end of each Term, the Chamber will submit to the City
