body
Summary
The League of California Cities bylaws require each voting member city to designate a voting member and alternate. The voting member and alternate must be designated by City Council action. An important aspect of the conference is the Annual Business Meeting at which time the membership considers and takes action on resolutions that establish League policy. Given their respective experience with the League of California Cities, including membership on legislative bodies, knowledge of legislative issues, prior experience as either a delegate to the League Conference or presenter at a League Conference, it is recommended that Council designate Elbert Holman as voting delegate and Vice Mayor Christina Fugazi as alternate.
