Re: Designation of Voting Delegate for 2003 League Annual Conference
The League's 2003 Annual Conference is scheduled for SundaV, September 7 through
Wednesday, September 1 0, in Sacramento. One very important aspect of the annual
conference is the annual business meeting where the membership takes action on conference
resolutions. Annual conference resolutions guide cities and the League in our efforts to
improve the quality, responsiveness and vitality of local government in California. It is
important that all cities be represented at the Annual Business Meeting on Wednesday,
September IO, at I 0:00 a.m. at the Sacramento Convention Center.
To expedite the conduct of business at this important policy-making meeting, each city council
should designate a voting representative and an alternate who will be registered at the
conference and present at the Annual Business Meeting. A voting card will be given to the city
official that is designated and indicated on the enclosed "Voting Delegate Form."
Please complete and return the enclosed form to the League's Sacramento office at the earliest
possible time (not later than Friday, August 8, 2003), so that proper records may be
established for the conference.
The city's designated voting delegate may pick up the city's voting card at the Voting Card desk
located in the League registration area. The Desk will be open on September 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Voting cards should be picked up before the Annual Business Meeting on September 1 0.
The voting procedures to be followed at this conference are printed on the reverse side of this
memo.
Your help in returning the attached "Voting Delegate Form" as soon as possible is appreciated.
If you have any questions, please call Lorraine Okabe at (916) 658-8236.

Annual Conference Voting Procedures
1 Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to
League policy.
2. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in his or her possession
the city's voting card and be registered with the Credentials Committee.
3. Prior to the Annual Conference, each city should designate a voting
delegate and an alternate and return the Voting Delegate Form to the
League Credentials Committee.
4. The voting delegate, or alternate, may pick up the city's voting card at
the voting card desk in the conference registration area.
5. Free exchange of the voting card between the voting delegate and
alternate is permitted.
6. If neither the voting delegate nor alternate is able to attend the Business
Meeting, the voting delegate or alternate may pass the voting card to
another official from the same city by appearing in person before a
representative of the Credentials Committee to make the exchange.
Prior to the Business Meeting, exchanges may be made at the "Voting
Card" table in the League Registration Area. At the Business Meeting,
exchanges may be made at the 'Voting Card" table in the front of the
meeting room. Exchanges may not be made while a roll call vote is in
progress because the Credentials Committee will be conducting the roll
call.
7. Qualification of an initiative resolution is judged in part by the validity of
signatures. Only the signatures of city officials who are authorized to
use the city's voting card, and who have left a sample of their signature
on file for the Credentials Committee, will be approved.
8. In case of dispute, the Credentials Committee will determine the right of
a city official to vote at the Business Meeting.
