RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATE FOR LEAGUE ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Dear City Offieiah
The most important aspect of the League Annual Conference is the General Business
Session at which time the membership takes action on conference resolutions. This year,
consideration of resolutions will include a discussion of the Action Plan for the Eighties.
The Action Plan incorporates a series of far-reaching recommendations for city and
League action which have been developed over the past year through the intensive efforts
of over I00 city officials. These reeoramendations and other resolutions will guide cities
and the League in our efforts to improve the quality, responsiveness and vitality of local
government within this state. Ail cities should be represented at the Business Session on
Tuesday morning, October 20 at 9:00 a.m. in the Hilton Hotel, San Francisco.
To expedite 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, San Francisco Hilton Hotel.
If it becomes necessary for the voting delegate and the designated alternate to leave the
Conference, the card may be transferred to another official from the same city, providing
the transfer has been cleared with the Credentials Committee, which will be responsible
for distributing voting cards.
It is suggested that the May~r 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
exchange of points of view and a consensus arrived at before the city's vote is cast.
Your cooperation in returning the attached "voting delegate form" as soon as possible will
be appreciated.
