EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A designated voting delegate needs to be chosen to represent the City of Barstow at the 2024 League of California Cities Annual Conference to be held October 16 - 18, 2024 in Long Beach, CA.
DISCUSSION:
The League of California Cities Annual Conference is scheduled for October 16 - 18, 2024 . An important part of the conference is the Annual Business Meeting. At this meeting, the League membership considers and takes action on resolutions that establish League policy.
Consistent with the League of California Cities bylaws and in order to vote at the Annual Business Meeting, a city’s voting delegate, and up to two alternates need to be designated by the City Council. This requirement must be done by City Council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action.
Requirements for the voting delegate are that the delegate and alternate(s) must be registered to attend the conference with at least one being present at the Business Meeting and in possession of the voting card in order to cast a vote for the City. Upon registration, the delegate and alternate(s) will receive special stamps on their ID badges for this purpose.
Mayor Courtney is the appointed representative for the League of Cities, with Mayor Pro Tem Noble being the alternate. Mayor Courtney is the sole member of the Council who has expressed interest in attending and has been registered for the conference. Therefore, it is recommended that the Council officially designate Mayor Courtney as the voting delegate.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Designate Mayor Courtney as the voting delegate for the City of Barstow for the 2024 League of California Cities Annual Conference to be held October 16 - 18, 2024, in Long Beach CA.
