SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 a (916) 444-5790 Sacramento, CA July 11, 1991 To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Don Benninghoven, Executive Director JUL 2 2' f 7J-7 7 ­ Re: Designation of Voting Delegate for League Annual Conference Dear City Official: This year's League Annual Conference is scheduled for October 13-16 in San Francisco. One very important aspect of the Annual Conference is the General Business Session at which time 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. All cities should be represented at the Business Session on Tuesday, October 15, at 1:30 p.m. at the Hilton Hotel. 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 Leag,.e, at the earliest possible time (not later than Friday. September 20. 1991), so that proper records may be established for the Conference. " The voting delegate may pick up the city's voting card at the League Registration Area in the Hilton Hotel. 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 appreciated. CITY: LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES 1991 ANNUAL CONFERENCE VOTING DELEGATE FORM 1.
