Re: Designation of Voting Delegate for 2003 League Annual Conference
The League's 2003 Annual Conference is scheduled for Sunday. September 7 through
Wednesday. September 10. in Sacramento. One very important aspect of the annual
conference is the annual business meeting where the membership takes action on conference
resolutions. Annual conference resolutions guide cities and the League in our efforts to
improve the quality, responsiveness and vitality of local government in California. It is
important that all cities be represented at the Annual Business Meeting_ on Wednesday,
September 10, at 10:00 a.m. at the Sacramento Convention Center.
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 registered at the
conference and present at the Annual Business Meeting. A voting card will be given to the city
official that is designated and indicated on the enclosed 'Voting Delegate Form."
Please complete and return the enclosed form to the League's Sacramento office at the earliest
possible time (not later than Friday, August 8, 2003), so that proper records may be
established for the conference.
The city's designated voting delegate may pick up the city's voting card at the Voting Card desk
located in the League registration area. The Desk will be open on September 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Voting cards should be picked up before the Annual Business Meeting on September 10.
The voting procedures to be followed at this conference are printed on the reverse side of this
memo.
