CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:1
DATE: August 25, 2020
SUBJECT: DESIGNATION OF A VOTING DELEGATE AND UP TO TWO
ALTERNATE VOTING DELEGATES FOR THE 2020 LEAGUE OF
CALIFORNIA CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
PRESENTER: Masis Hagobian
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council appoint a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates for the City of
Santa Clarita for the 2020 League of California Cities Annual Conference.
BACKGROUND
The League of California Cities (League) is an association of California city officials who work
together to enhance their knowledge, exchange information, and combine resources. The
League's objective is to expand and protect local authority for cities through education and
advocacy to enhance the quality of life for all Californians.
The League Annual Conference is scheduled for October 7-9, 2020. Out of an abundance of
caution and in an effort to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the entire conference will
be held virtually.
An important part of the League Annual Conference is the General Assembly Meeting scheduled
on Friday, October 9, 2020. At this meeting, the League membership will consider and
potentially act on resolutions that establish League policy. In order to vote at the General
Assembly Meeting, the City Council is asked to designate a voting delegate. The City Council
may also appoint up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote in the event that
the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Only City Council designated
delegates and alternates may vote at the General Assembly Meeting.
As part of the annual consideration of City Council Committee Appointments earlier this year,
the City Council selected Councilwoman McLean and Mayor Smyth to serve as the delegate and
alternate respectively to the League of California Cities Los Angeles County Division.
