TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
Dear City Official:
Without question the most important aspect of the Annual Conference is the General
Business Session at which time the membership takes action on conference resolutions. As
you can appreciate, it is espeei,lly important during these times of uncertainty for
California cities to take the initiative in developing positive programs for the future.
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 Wednesday morning, October 22 at
10:00 a.m. in the Bonaventure Hotel, Los Angeles.
To expedite this important policy-making meeting, each City Coune.il_sh_ould_dgs_ignate .a_
~v~o~_i[lg~epresentative__and an alternate who will be present at the Business Session. The
League Constitution pr~)~d~ "~h~{~-~-'~ity~is ~entitIe~ {0-0-~e vote in mat~ ~f~eting
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, Bonaventure 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 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
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.
Don Benninghoven
