Every year, the League of California Cities (LOCC) convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. Taking place on Sept. 22, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. The City’s voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, the voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action (Resolution) every year and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference.
This year, Mayor Potter and Mayor Pro Tem Richards are registered to attend the League of California cities General Assembly. Adopting Resolution 2023-068 (attachment 1) designating Mayor Potter and Mayor Pro Tem Richards as the voting delegate and alternate, respectively, and submitting a copy with the voting delegate form (attachment 2) by the deadline of August 28, 2023, will ensure that the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea will have a vote during the 2023 General Assembly.
