The Sutherland City Council on Aug. 11 appointed Councilor Adam Sarnoski as the city's voting delegate to the League of Oregon Cities annual conference. The appointment allows the delegate to cast the city's vote for the LOC board of directors during the conference.

City Recorder Beau Hart explained the LOC requires a delegate submission; staff noted that in the past the council president or city manager has served as the city's delegate. Several councilors discussed travel and availability for the Saturday voting session at the conference. After a motion and second, councilors voted by roll call. The recorded votes in the meeting transcript were: Councilor Sarnoski — Aye; Councilor Hamilton — Aye; Councilor Whitaker — Aye; Councilor Woods — Aye; Councilor Dano — No. The motion carried.

Council members asked staff to submit the delegate form online and confirmed the appointed delegate would attend the conference and cast the city's ballot for LOC board elections. The transcript shows brief council remarks welcoming the appointment and noting attendees who planned to go to the conference.
