Every year, the League of California Cities (LOCC) holds a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. This event, scheduled for October 18, 2024, allows city officials to participate directly in shaping Cal Cities policy. Each member city appoints one voting delegate to represent it at the Assembly.
The city council must designate the voting delegate and up to two alternates through a council resolution each year. This designation cannot be made by the Mayor or City Administrator alone. Additionally, the voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference.
This year, Mayor Potter and Mayor Pro Tem Richards are registered for the General Assembly in Long Beach in October. To ensure the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea has a vote, the city council should adopt Resolution 2024-059 (attachment 1), designating Mayor Potter as the voting delegate and Mayor Pro Tem Richards as the alternate. A copy of this resolution, along with the voting delegate form, must be submitted to the LOCC by August 17, 2024.
