L
eague of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 20-22, 2023, Sacramento SAFE Credit Union Convention Center
Ev
ery year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Tak
ing place on Sept. 22, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To ca
st a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Pl
ease complete the attached voting delegate form and email it to Cal Cities office no later than Monday, August 28.
New
this year, we will host a pre-conference information session for voting delegates to explain their role. Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre- conference communications with voting delegates.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Act
ion by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. When completing the attached Voting Delegate form, please attach either a copy of the council resolution that reflects the council action taken or have your city clerk or mayor sign the form affirming that the names provided are those selected by the city council.
Pl
ease note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento, will be open at the following times:
Wednesday, Sept. 20, 8:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 21, 7:30 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 22, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for completing the voting delegate and alternate form and returning it to Cal Cities office by Monday, Aug. 28. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference and
Expo, Cal Cities members
may submit policy
proposals on issues of
importance to cities. The
resolution must have the concurrence
of at least five additional member cities
or individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions
Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure that we are representing California cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policy that erodes local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how Resolutions and the General Assembly works.
The petitioned resolution
is an alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during the
annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of member
cities, and submitted to the Cal Cities
President at least 24 hours before the
beginning of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities President
assigns general resolutions
to policy committees where
members review, debate,
and recommend positions for
each policy proposal. Recommendations are
forwarded to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions
Committee includes
representatives from
each Cal Cities diversity
caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly
is a meeting of the
collective body of
all voting delegates —
one from every
member city.
Seven Policy
Committees meet
throughout the year to
review and recommend
positions to take on
bills and regulatory
proposals. Policy
committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division,
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions Committee.
Potential Cal Cities bylaws amendments are also
considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a
member-informed
process, grounded
in the voices and
experiences of city
officials throughout
the state.
For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions Committee
considers all resolutions.
General Resolutions approved1
by either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee
are next considered by the General
Assembly. General resolutions not approved,
or referred for further study by both a policy
committee and the Resolutions Committee
do not go the General Assembly. All
Petitioned Resolutions are considered by the
General Assembly, unless disqualified.2
• Voting delegates will receive increased communications to prepare them for their role during the General Assembly.
• The General Assembly will take place earlier to allow more time for debate and discussion.
• Improvements to the General Assembly process will make it easier for voting delegates to discuss and debate resolutions.
What’s new in 2023?
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

REVIEWED BY: Chris Karrer, Interim Police Chief

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Discuss and provide direction to staff on teen drivers safety education programs within the community.
DISCUSSION
At the October 19, 2022, City Council meeting, former Councilmember Matt Liesemeyer, and seconded by Councilmember Dean Deines, requested a future agenda item regarding information on programs available to the City to address safety issues associated with teenage drivers on the roadway.
In 2022, approximately 4,000 teenage lives were lost nationwide due to vehicle collisions. Studies show that inexperience and poor decision making were the primary causes of these collisions. It is the goal of the Menifee Police Department (MPD) to reduce the number of fatal and major injury traffic collisions caused by teenage drivers. This goal can be accomplished through vigilant traffic enforcement efforts and education.
In the past three years, MPD has addressed the topic of drivers’ safety in several ways.
1. Each year the MPD traffic unit holds specific enforcement campaigns regarding driving under the influence (DUI) and distracted driving. The Department’s social media pages report on these campaigns as they occur to provide an education component about the negative impacts these behaviors can have on the community.
2. With the development of our School Resource Officer Program, the increased presence of our officers in the high schools has allowed for a more frequent interaction with the teen population so we can continue to have a positive influence, and so teenagers learn to accept law enforcement as a resource.

3. The local Temecula California Highway Patrol (CHP) office provides a 2-hour class called Start Smart annually. This program focuses on providing comprehensive traffic safety education classes for teenagers and their parents. The Temecula CHP office has held classes in the City of Menifee (as recently as 2022) and has courses available that can be found on their website or through the CHP-Smart Start app.
Beyond the educational resources already provided to the community, there are two other programs the City could consider incorporating. These include the Every Fifteen Minute Program and the Impact Teen Drivers Program.
Of the 4,000 teenage vehicular deaths in 2022, 25% can be directly attributed to someone who was driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The Every Fifteen Minutes Program has been utilized in high schools for several decades. It brings together a coalition of local agencies, hospitals, schools, businesses, service clubs and emergency responders to put on a two-day program with the goal of reducing alcohol-related collision among the youth. This Program utilizes a dramatic approach to elicit and emotional response to remind the youth that their choices have consequences and affect people other than themselves. The Every Fifteen Minutes Program requires a significant amount of cooperation and coordination from multiple entities within the community and requires funding that would need to be sought out through the City budgetary process and donations.
The remaining 75% of teenage traffic collision related deaths are directly related to the inexperience of teenage drivers and the distractions which are available to them when they drive.
The Impact Teen Drivers Program is provided by a non-profit organization whose mission is to develop, promote, and facilitate evidence-based education and strategies to save lives and reduce injuries and fatalities caused by reckless and distracted driving. This Program was created by members of the California Teachers Association and the California Association of Highway Patrolmen.
Impact Teen Drivers has partnered with the CHP and the Office of Traffic Safety to provide the curriculum and the resources to present a program to high school and middle school aged youth as well as their parents with the goal of reducing teen fatalities. These short 45-minute presentations are designed to engage teens, parents and educators in an evidence-based curriculum which outlines the dangers of reckless and distracted driving, and the importance of good decision making behind the wheel. This Program utilizes curated video presentations, interactive activities, and statistical information to engage with teenagers to help them understand the importance of current driving laws and why they were implemented with the safety of the motoring public in mind. All training and materials are provided free of charge to participating agencies through a grant obtained by the Impact Teen Driving Program from the Office of Traffic Safety. With numerous MPD staff already certified to provide this training, the only additional cost associated with Program implementation is the dedication of staff time for program administration and conducting presentations.

“Every Fifteen Minutes” Synopsis
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens 15- 18 years of age in the United States. The greatest dangers for teen drivers are alcohol consumption, inconsistent or no seat belt use, distracted and drowsy driving, and speeding. “ Every Fifteen Minutes” is an intense program designed to relate to students the responsibility they have to drive sober and safely every trip, every time.
The program was originally designed when, on the average, an individual was killed every 15 minutes due to an alcohol related crash . Through awareness and education, those numbers have decreased! Now, “Every 15 Minutes” includes all categories/types of collisions. With 94% of fatalities being driver error, we believe it is important to address all areas in our program, but we will still concentrate on impaired and distracted driving. Although the program is intended for high school seniors, most of whom have had some driving experience, it may be adapted to the entire high school depending on the school population.
DAY ONE
Officers an d EM S personne l mee t wit h t he student s an d di scuss topi cs rel ated t o impair ed and distracted driving, alcohol poisoning and the responsibility of making mature decisions when lives are at stake. The y discuss the responsibility that each of us shar e when choosing to drive impaired or when they allow others to.
Throughout the day, pre-selected students are removed from the classroom every 15 minutes by the “grim reaper”. Volunteers transform the students into the “walking dead” by painting their faces white and having them wear black robes or shirts. The students return to their class and resume being seated. They represent those who die annually nationwide in traffic fatalities. They do not speak or take part in any activity for the rest of the day. During the lunch period, a simulated collision is staged with an offender participating in a DUI field investigation before being arrested and transported from the school in handcuffs.
After school, the "walking Dead" are transported to the facility where they will be kept overnight and chaperoned by adult volunteers. During the afternoon and evening they work on putting together the program which will be given to the entire senior class (or school) on Day Two.
While the students are busy with evening activities, officers and/or the county coroner contact the parents of two students. The officers give these parents a simulated death notification, telling them the child will not be coming home because he or she was killed by an impaired or distracted driver.
The parents are pre-selected and have agreed to participate. The have also agreed to attend the assembly and share with the students their feelings.
DAY TWO
The assembly begins with a slide presentation of photos of students who participated in the “Every Fifteen Minutes” the first day along with school staff, other students and the police officers and volunteers on campus who helped with the program.
Then the parents talk to the audience about the simulated death message they received the night before. This is a very emotional part of the program where the parents describe the feeling of losing their child at the hand of an impaired driver. Next a local citizen, victim or offender, tells of the drunke n driving fatality they were involved in. The assembly ends when the students make a pledge not to drink and drive and encourage the remaining student audience to make this same promise. (Part of the effectiveness of the program is due to the “surprise” element. The participating students have been asked not to share the details nor the event dates with their classmates.)

By understanding, following, and enforcing
GDL laws, teens, parents, and guardians can
minimize the risk of a car crash and keep the
roads safer for everyone.
What are GDL
Programs?
Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL)
programs are designed to minimize the
highest risk situations for a new driver
while they safely gain crucial experience
behind the wheel. GDL programs
introduce young drivers to the road
slowly with a gradual, staged approach
to earning a driver license.
GDL LAWS SAVE LIVES
Car crashes are the number one killer of
teens, taking almost 4,000 young lives
annually. These crashes are not just sad
accidents—they are preventable crashes.
Since the inception of GDL laws, teen
fatalities and serious injuries have been
reduced by up to 40%.

INSTRUCTION PERMIT
PROVISIONAL/INTERMEDIATE
LICENSE
Once a teen passes the behind-the-wheel
driving test at the DMV, they will receive their
Provisional License.
A Provisional License allows the teen driver to
drive ALONE. However, they must follow these
driving restrictions while in the Provisional
License stage:
• No passengers less than 20 years
old (unless accompanied by a
licensed driver age 25 or older)
•
•
No driving between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Seat belts are mandatory for all
people in the car
• No electronic device use while
driving, hands-free or not
Teens will have a Provisional License for one
full year or until they turn 18, whichever comes
first.
STAGE 1
STAGE 2
FULL DRIVER LICENSE
After one year of safe driving, the passenger
and nighttime GDL restrictions are lifted. Once
a teen turns 18 years of age, the electronic
device restriction is lifted. Remember, hands-
free is not distraction-free. Seat belts remain
mandat
ory for all occupants of a v ehicle under
California law.
With full driver license privileges, teens
can participate in all of the privileges,
responsibilities, and enjoyments that come
with driving. But remember, driving is a
privilege, not a right, and it is important to
drive safely at all times no matter age or
experience.
STAGE 3
www.ImpactTeenDrivers.org/California [email protected] I (916) 733-7432 The Instruction Permit stage is the time to gain
driving experience.
This stage can begin at age 15½. Teens
must register for an approved integrated
driver education training program and obtain
a certificate of enrollment to bring to the
Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Once a teen has studied the state’s Driver
Handbook, they should head to the DMV to
take the written driver exam. Once they pass
the exam, they become the proud holder of
an Instruction Permit. The Instruction Permit
needs to be signed by the driver education
instructor to be valid.
Teens need a minimum of 50 hours of behind-
the-wheel supervised driving time with a
licensed parent or guardian (over 25 years
old). Ten of those hours must be at night and
an additional six hours must be with a driving
instructor. They will hold their Instruction
Permit for a minimum of six months before
taking the DMV driving test for a Provisional
License.

Train-the-Trainers Synopsis
Reckless and distracted driving is the # 1 killer of teens. This deadly epidemic claims the lives of 4,000 teens each year and seriously injures 220,000 more. The most frustrating aspect of this crisis is that it is completely preventable with a combination of quality education, training, and enforcement. Impact Teen Drivers is a non- profit organization dedicated to educating teens, parents, and community members about the dangers of reckless and distracted driving using evidence-based programming and materials. Our goal is to save lives by changing attitudes and behaviors that become lethal behind the wheel of a car. The Impact Teen Drivers' programs are evidence-based, cost-effective, and reach teens with engaging educational videos, interactive materials, and high-energy presentations and discussions. Teens are moving targets, and Impact Teen Drivers continually provides teen-centric campaigns, contests to get teens to share the safe driving message with their peers, innovative web content, as well as strong social media presence to reach teens where they are.
The Impact Teen Drivers' Train-the-Trainers workshops lead facilitators through our programs. The four-hour workshop provides participants with evidence-based tools to deliver high-energy presentations focused on the dangers of reckless and distracted driving. Participants will learn about reckless and distracted driving research and statistics, Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws, the “What do You Consider Lethal?” and Dream World programs, and how to effectively communicate the essentials of safe driving to teens, parents, and members of their communities. The workshop provides participants with examples of school and community-based programs and presentations, including parent-teen safe driving workshops. Participants will receive informational handouts, guides, presentations, and templates for facilitating discussion and preparing presentations about teen safe driving for their own reference and to share with other educators, first responders, officers, or community members.
The objectives of the Train-the-Trainers workshop are to:
•Effectively link the importance of evidence-based education and quality communication to address the problem of reckless and distracted driving.
•Provide participants with the knowledge and resources they need to successfully present the Impact Teen Drivers' programs in their own communities.
•Ensure that participants have the knowledge to effectively communicate and respond to inquiries about teen driving attitudes and behaviors, as well as GDL laws. •Motivate first responders, educators, health professionals, and community members to carry out the Impact Teen Drivers program in their communities to help stop the number one killer of young people in America—reckless and distracted driving.
•Communicate current research trends and the importance of utilizing evidence-based programs and materials in outreach efforts.
•Facilitate action planning utilizing the Impact Teen Drivers materials and programs.
