RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council:
Designate Mayor Pro Tem Marr as Costa Mesa’s voting delegate for the 2021 League of
California Cities Annual Conference.
BACKGROUND:
The League of California Cities 2021 Annual Conference will be a conference scheduled
for September 22-24, 2021. An important part of the Conference is the Annual Business
Meeting on Friday, September 24, 2021. In order to vote at this meeting, the City Council
must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates. Currently,
Mayor Pro Tem Marr is registered to attend the conference.
ANALYSIS:
The designation of a voting delegate will allow the City to participate in the Annual
Business Meeting. It is at this meeting that the League membership considers and takes
action on resolutions that establish League policy throughout the coming year. Information
on what resolutions will be reviewed is not available at this time.
Consistent with League bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be
designated by the City Council. The City Clerk or Mayor must sign the attached form
affirming that the names provided are those that were selected by the City Council
(Attachment 1). The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the
conference. The voting delegates must be present at the Business Meeting and in
possession of the voting card in order to cast a vote. Transferring a voting card to a non-
designated individual is not allowed. Currently, Mayor Pro Tem Marr is registered to
attend the conference.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
City Council may choose to not appoint a delegate, and therefore will be unable to vote
at the Annual Business Meeting.
FISCAL REVIEW:
Finance Department verified that there is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this report and has approved it as to form.
CONCLUSION:
