BACKGROUND The League of California Cities (LCC) is an association of California city officials who work together to enhance their knowledge, exchange information, and combine resources to expand and protect local control for cities through education and advocacy to enhance the quality of life for all Californians. The LCC Annual Conference is scheduled for September 18-20, 2013, in Sacramento. An important part of the Annual Conference is the Annual Business Meeting scheduled for Friday, September 20, at the Sacramento Convention Center. At this meeting, the LCC membership will consider and take action on resolutions that establish LCC policy. LCC bylaws provide that each city is entitled to one vote in matters affecting municipal or LCC policy. In order to vote at the Annual Business Meeting, each City Council is asked to designate a voting delegate. Council action reflecting the designations must be provided to the LCC by August 23, 2013. This deadline will allow the LCC time to establish voting delegates and alternates' credentials prior to the conference. It is the recommendation that Mayor Kellar be designated as the voting delegate and Councilmember McLean as the alternate voting delegate for the 2013 League of California Cities APPROVED Annual Conference. A city may 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. Currently, only Mayor Kellar and Councilmember McLean are scheduled to attend the 2013 LCC Annual Conference. Once the City establishes the voting delegate, the appropriate paperwork will be filled out and submitted to the LCC before the August 23, 2013, deadline. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS 1. Recommend another Councilmember serve as delegate. 2. Other direction as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT No additional resources are needed to implement the recommended action. RIA
