A copy of the League's memorandum is attached. Valerie Whiteman Chief Deputy City Clerk Att. a r t League of Californiaornia Cities 1400 K STREET • SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 • (916) 444-5790 Sacramento, CA _ 3 �, July 12, 1990 California Cities Work Together To: The Honorable M�kyor and City Council From: Don Benninghoven, Executive Director Rc: Designation of Voting Delegate for League Annual Conference Dear City Official: This year's League Annual Conference is scheduled for October 21-24 in Anaheim. 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 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 23, at 1:30 p.m. at the Anaheim Convention Center. To expedite the conduct of business at this important policy making; m_eeting, each City -Council should designate a voting representative and an alternate who willbe 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 (not later than friday. September 28. 1990), so that the 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 Anaheim Convention Center. 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 maybe 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.
