BACKGROUND
The League of California Cities (Cal Cities) 2024 Annual Conference and Expo is scheduled for October 16-18, 2024, in Long Beach, CA. An important aspect of the Annual Conference is the Annual Business Meeting (during the General Assembly), which will take place on Friday, October 18, 2024. At this meeting, Cal Cities’ membership considers and acts on resolutions that establish Cal Cities’ policy.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
To vote at the annual business meeting, City Council action is required to designate a voting delegate. The City Council may also designate up to two alternate voting delegates to ensure the City can lend its support to resolutions that address statewide matters and augment Cal Cities’ policy.
Mayor Pro Tem Karen C. Comstock is currently a Cal Cities Inland Empire Division Board Member. For this reason, Staff recommends that Mayor Pro Tem Comstock is selected as the voting delegate at the annual conference. Per the City of Chino 2023-2024 City Council Committee Assignments List, it is recommended Council Member Burton as the 2nd Voting Delegate-Alternate, and Council Member Lucio as the 3rd Voting Delegate-Alternate.
Designating a voting delegate for the 2024 Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo will authorize the City to vote on policy matters in the form of resolutions. Mayor Pro Tem Comstock, or in her absence Council Member Burton or Council Member Lucio, will be authorized to vote on behalf of the City on resolutions that focus on municipal issues or matters of Statewide concern. A summary of Cal Cities’ proposed resolutions will be brought to the City Council in early October after they have been published to Cal Cities’ website.
