Council designates Councilwoman Birdseye as voting delegate to League conference
Summary
The council approved designating Councilwoman Birdseye as the city's voting delegate to the 2025 League of California Cities Annual Conference; a council member raised a question about the League memo deadline (Sept. 24), which the Chair addressed by noting past practice of bringing a resolution to validate the selection.
The council placed on the consent calendar a recommendation to designate Councilwoman Birdseye as the voting delegate for the 2025 League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo General Assembly. The Chair explained the purpose of the delegate is to cast the city's vote on resolutions and debated items at the General Assembly.
During discussion, a council member asked whether the League memo's designation deadline of Sept. 24 would be an issue. The council member said, "according to the League of California City's memo, this was... we were supposed to have designated somebody before then." The Chair replied that last year the city brought a resolution to validate the selection and described the designation as routine. A council member in support said, "I fully support, councilwoman Birdseye's appointment to this. I think she's, excellent voice for this." The council moved and seconded the consent-item recommendation and Miss Wolf called the roll; the council approved the designation and Birdseye will serve as the city's voting delegate for the conference.
The transcript records the question about the Sept. 24 deadline and the Chair's explanation of past practice; the council did not record any dissent on the floor. The League memo and the conference materials establish the practical reason for designating a single voting delegate to represent a city at the General Assembly.
