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 and prior experience as delegates to the League Conference, it is recommended that City Council designate Vice Mayor Elbert Holman as voting delegate and Councilmember Christina Fugazi as an alternate.
