Reasons for Recommendation
The Cal Cities 2024 Annual Conference & Expo is scheduled for October 16‐18, 2024 in Long Beach. An important part of the Annual Conference is the Annual Business Meeting (during General Assembly) taking place on Friday, October 18, at the Long Beach Convention Center. At this meeting, Cal Cities membership considers and acts on resolutions that establish Cal Cities policy.
The General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. In order to vote during the General Assembly, the City Council must designate a voting delegate. One alternate voting delegate may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity.
In the past, the Mayor has acted as the voting delegate and the Vice Mayor has acted as the voting alternate. It is recommended that the City Council designate Mayor Sheila Mohan as the voting delegate and Vice Mayor J.R. Fruen as the alternate to vote at the Annual Business Meeting (General Assembly) during the League of California Cities Annual Conference & Expo, October 16‐18, 2024.
Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact is affiliated with the voting delegate. Councilmembers’ participation in the annual conference are supported through allocated funding for Council’s conference and training budget.
