Rankin, Assistant City Manager) EXHIBITS ATTACH 1: Annual Conference Resolutions Calendar RECOMMENDATION: 1. Consider whether there are any topics which would be worthy of a policy resolution and direct Staff to prepare any appropriate resolution for consideration before August 29,, 1991. 2. Designate the Voting Member and Alternate for the League Annual Conference. 3. Provide Staff with preferences on the scheduling of the October 14, 1991 City Council meeting. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None. DESCRIPTION: The League of California Cities 93rd Annual Conference is scheduled for October 13-16, 1991 in San Francisco. At the Annual Conference cities are given an opportunity to consider resolutions, which have policy implications. Exhibit 1 identifies the calendar for submittal of proposed resolutions. In order to be considered, all resolutions must be received by the League no later than August 29, 1991. Therefore, if there are policy issues which the City Council would like to be addressed, it would be necessary for Staff to prepare a draft resolution for consideration at a City Council meeting prior to August 29, 1991. The formulation of policy resolutions provide an opportunity to: focus public or media attention on major issues; establish a general direction for the League by setting forth general principles for future detailed policy development; and consider issues not addressed by the policy committees and Board of Directors. As noted in Exhibit 11 the resolutions are considered by the Policy Committees for recommendations. Further, it would be helpful to have support from other cities and/or the East Bay Division of the League, prior to consideration by the Policy Committee. Voting Delegate The League will also require the City to designate the Voting Delegate and Alternate for the 1991 Annual Conference. Prior to the Conference, the City will receive copies of proposed resolutions in the event that the City Council determines that specific direction should be given to the City's delegate. The current City Council assignment sheet identifies the Voting Delegate as the Mayor and the Alternate as the Vice Mayor. The City Council should either confirm these designations, or advise Staff of proposed changes. Conflict with City Council Meeting The regular meeting time for the City Council is Monday, October 14, 1991. In the event that a majority of the City Council are in attendance at the League Conference and unavailable for the regular City Council meeting, a determination will need to be made as to whether the October meeting should be cancelled or rescheduled. If the City Councilmembers have a preference on this issue, it would be appropriate to discuss at this time. Conclusion Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1. Consider whether there are any pertinent topics for a League Policy Resolution and direct Staff accordingly. 2. Confirm the designated Voting Member and Alternate for the League Annual Conference. 3. Identify any preference on the cancellation or rescheduling of the October 14, 1991 City Council meeting. a:S78leag.doc.agenda#S ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: ITEM NO.
