SUMMARY
On July 9, 2019, the Council designated Mayor Barbara Halliday to be the City’s voting delegate and Council Member Lamnin as the alternate voting delegate to the League of California Cities 2019 Annual Conference. Mayor Halliday, Council Member Lamnin and Council Member Salinas are attending the League of California Cities (League) 2019 Annual Conference, scheduled for October 16-18, 2019 in Long Beach, California.
The League’s Annual Business (General Assembly) Meeting will take place on October 18, 2019, where voting delegates from member municipalities vote on the League policy resolutions being considered.
Staff recommends that Council support the two resolutions identified by the League: a resolution calling on California Public Utilities Commission to amend Rule 20A to add projects in high fire hazard severity zones to the list of eligibility criteria and to increase funding allocations for Rule 20A projects, and a resolution calling upon the federal and state governments to address the impacts of international transboundary pollution flows into the southernmost regions of California and the pacific ocean.
