Mayor Deringer—who serves on the League resolutions committee—explained the letters matter to the resolutions committee and to member votes at the League’s annual conference: "that's why I was suggesting we should take a position because I think that's important for us as a city, as well as many cities to be able to have this studied and and hopefully get the league to back this, initiative," she said. Council members who supported the motion emphasized the timing and noted delegates will use letters as part of the committee record. Council approved sending a letter of support.
