Dear City Official:
This year's League Annual Conference is scheduled for October 4-7 in San Francisco.
The most important aspect of the Annual Conference is the General Business Session at
which time the _me__.~bership cakes action on conference resolutions. It is important for
California cities to take the initiative in developing positive programs for the
future. Annual Oinference resolutic~s will guide cities and the League in our efforts
to iml~rove the quality, responsiveness and vitality of local government within this
state. Ail cities should be represented at the Business Session on Tuesday afternoon,
October 6, at .2:00 p.m. in San Francisco's Moscc~e Center.
TO ex. dj. 'te the cc~duct of business at this important ~olic~-makin~ mestin~, each City
._Council should desi~ate a ~otin~ representative and an alternate who will be present
: the BuSiness Session. ~Te League (kx,~titution provides that each city is entitled
-O c~e vote in matters 'affecting municipal or League policy. A voting card will be
given to the city official designated by tb~ City Oouncil on the enclosed "voting
delegate form." If the Mayor or a member of the City ODuncil is in attendance at the
C0~ference, it is expected that c~e of these officials will be designated as the voting
delegate. F&m~er, if the City Co~uil will ~t have a registered delegate at the
Cc~ference but will be represe~ted by other city officials, one of these officials
should be designated the voting delegate ~r alternate.
Please forward the e~closed "voting delegate form" to the Sacramento office of the
League at tb~ earliest possible time, so that the proper records may be established for
the __¢k/~ference. ~le voting delegate may pick up tb~ city's ~oting c~d in the League
Begistration Area at tb~ M0sccne Center in San Francisco.
If neither the ~oting delegate nor alternate is able to attend the Business Session,
the voting delegate or alternate may pass tb~ voting ~d to another official from the
same city by appel_ ring in person before a representative of the Credentials O'_,,_,~,~ttee
to make the e. xd"lange.
An outline of the voting procedures that will be followed at this conference is printed
on tb~ reverse side of this memo. It is suggested that the May(x and all Council
Members from a given city try to sit together at the Business Sessio~ so that, if
amendments are considered, there may be an c~l~xtunity to exchange points of view and
arrive at a ommensus before the city's ~ote is cart.
~ur cooperation in returning the attached "~)ting delegate form" as soon as possible
will be appreciated.
