BACKGROUND:
The League of California Cities 2022 Annual Conference & Expo is scheduled on September 7-9, 2022 in Long Beach. An important part of the Annual Conference is the Annual Business Meeting on Friday, September 9, 2022. In order to vote at this meeting, the City Council must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates. Currently, Mayor Pro Tem Marr is registered to attend the conference.
ANALYSIS:
The designation of a voting delegate will allow the City to participate in the Annual Business Meeting. It is at this meeting that the League membership considers and takes action on resolutions that establish League policy throughout the coming year. Information on what resolutions will be reviewed is not available at this time.
Consistent with League bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the City Council. The City Clerk or Mayor must sign the attached form affirming that the names provided are those that were selected by the City Council (Attachment 1). The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. The voting delegates must be present at the Business Meeting and in possession of the voting card in order to cast a vote. Transferring a voting card to a non-designated individual is not allowed. Currently, Mayor Pro Tem Marr is registered to attend the conference.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may choose to not appoint a delegate; therefore, will be unable to vote at the Annual Business Meeting.
