A RESOLUTION OBJECTING TO THE MANNER IN WHICH

WHEREAS, the League of California Cities is the association
upon which all California cities depend for information and
advocacy; and
WHEREAS, the annual conference of the League of California
cities is the most important annual event of that association in
terms of sharing information and expertise, setting League policy,
and acknowledging incoming and outgoing officers and other
representatives: and
WHEREAS, one very important aspect of the Annual Conference is
the general business meeting when the membership takes action on
Conference Resolutions; and

Resolutions was scheduled on the afternoon before the final day of
the Conference and was meeting solely for the purpose of voting on
the Conference Resolutions by each city's official Voting Delegate;
and
WHEREAS, during the League Conference in Los Angeles held
October 10 - 13, 1992, the voting on the conference Resolution took
place on the afternoon of the last day of the Conference and
followed other business of the general business meeting, causing
the voting to be postponed until mid-afternoon on Tuesday, the last
day of the Conference; and
WHEREAS, it appeared that some cities, particularly cities in
Northern California, had to leave the Conference before the vote
came up on the resolutions, which contained issued of particular
interest to Northern California cities; and

concern about the scheduling of the voting at that time.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Bakersfield urges the Board of Directors and staff of the League
of California Cities to look carefully at the scheduling of voting
on Conference Resolutions at future annual conferences and to
schedule a time and place for that vote which is not in conflict
with other important business meeting items or in conflict with the
travel schedules of representatives leaving the Conference on the
final day of the Conference.
