A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA
URGING THE UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF MAYORS TO EXPEDITE
AND CLARIFY THE PROCEDURES FOR THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS
BY THE CONFERENCE.
WHEREAS, the United States Conference of Mayors commands deserved
prestige as the representative legislative body of the municipalities of the
United States; and
WHEREAS, It is therefore incumbent upon the Conference to maintain its •-�
proceedings and procedures as a model for the membership, and one important
step was taken with the introduction of ballot voting at the 1965 session;
and
WHEREAS, many delegates are unnecessarily handicapped by the lack of
opportunity to consider proposed resolutions previous to their adoption by
the Conference; and
WHEREAS, the consideration of resolutions upon the last day of the
Conference regularly results in final action by less than the full attendance,
due to the loss of delegates who are unable to remain for the closing session
of the Conference; and
WHEREAS, this Council deems it to be in the best interest of all cities
holding membership in the Conference that these procedures be improved;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Costa
Mesa, as follows:
1. That, wherever circumstances permit, draft copies of proposed resolu-
tions to be presented to the United States Conference of Mayors shall be
distributed to member cities at least one (1) week before the opening session
of the Conference.
2. That the time set for adoption of resolutions on the agenda of the
Conference be advanced to the day prior to the last session of the Conference
to insure a more representative expression of opinion of the attending delegates.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Clerk of the City of Costa Mesa
is hereby directed to transmit a certified copy of this Resolution to the
United States Conference of Mayors.
