MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: John Dunn
SUBJECT: Design of Voting Delegate and alternate for League Annual
Conference
Recommendation:
That the City Council designate a Councilmember as a voting delegate
and a Councilmember or a Staffinember as a voting alternate.
Discussion:
Each year at this time we are asked to designate our City's voting
delegate and voting alternate to the League's Annual Conference. It
is important that we do so because only the designated Delegate and
Alternate have the right to vote..
The City Attorney and I volunteer to work with the Delegate and
Alternate, assisting with the review of the proposed resolutions which
will be forwarded to the City one to two weeks before the conference.
Our determination will be made on the basis of consistency with
adopted city policy, and what we collectively feel provides the most
benefit to the City.
I believe the voting on the resolutions is now done on Tuesday
afternoon of the Conference rather than on Wednesday morning as it was
for years , which makes it a bit more convenient for those who have to
leave the Conference early.
After the Council takes action, we will fill in the names and forward
them to the League of California Cities.

RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATE FOR LEAGUE ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Dear City Official :
This year's League Annual Conference is scheduled for October 16-19 in San Diego. One
very important aspect of the Annual Conference is the General Business Session at which
time the membership takes action on conference resolutions. It is important for
California cities to take the initiative in developing positive programs for the
future. Annual Conference resolutions will guide cities and the League in our efforts
to improve the quality, responsiveness and vitality of local government within this
state. All cities should be represented at the Business Session on Tuesday afternoon,
October 18, at 2:00 p.m. at the Town and Country Hotel in San Diego.
To expedite the conduct of business at this important policy-making meeting, each City
Council should designate a voting representative and an alternate who will be present
at the Business Session. The League Constitution provides that each city is entitled
to one vote in matters affecting municipal or League policy. A voting card will be
given to the city official designated by the City Council on the enclosed "voting
delegate form." If the Mayor or a member of the City Council is in attendance at the
Conference, it is expected that one of these officials will be designated as the voting
delegate. However, if the City Council will not have a registered delegate at the
Conference but will be represented by other city officials, one of these officials
should be designated the voting delegate or alternate.
Please forward the enclosed "voting delegate form" to the Sacramento office of the
League at the earliest possible time, so that the proper records may be established for
the Conference. The voting delegate may pick up the city's voting card in the League
Registration Area at the Town and Country Hotel in San Diego.
If neither the voting delegate nor alternate is able to attend the Business Session,
the voting delegate or alternate may pass the voting card to another official from the
same city by appearing in person before a representative of the Credentials Committee
to make the exchange.
An outline of the voting procedures that will be followed at this conference is printed
on the reverse side of this memo. It is suggested that the Mayor and all Council
Members from a given city try to sit together at the Business Session so that, if
amendments are considered, there may be an opportunity to exchange points of view and
arrive at a consensus before the city's vote is cast.
Your cooperation in returning the attached "voting delegate form" as soon as possible
will be appreciated.
