RESOLUTION N0. 66-127
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA
URGING THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES TO EXPEDITE AND CLARIFY
TEE PROCEDURES FOR THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, the National League of Cities commands deserved prestige as
the representative legislative body of the municipalities of the United
States; and
WHEREAS, it is therefore incumbent upon the League's Convention to
maintain its procedures and proceedings as a model for the membership; and
WHEREAS, many delegates are unnecessarily handicapped by the lack of
opportunity to consider proposed resolutions previous to their adoption by
the Convention; and
WHEREAS, the consideration of resolutions upon the last day of the
Convention regularly results in final action by less than the full attend-
ance, due to the loss of delegates who are unable to remain for the closing
session; and
WHEREAS, this Council deems it to be in the best interest of all cities
holding membership in the League 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 reso-
lutions to be presented to the National League of Cities Convention shall be
distributed to member cities at least one (1) week before the opening session
of the Convention.
2. That the time set for adoption of resolutions of the agenda of the
Convention be advanced to the day prior to the last session of the Convention
to insure a more representative expression of opinion from 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
National League of Cities.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 19th day of December, 1966.
