LEGISLATIVE TASK FORCE <>>~
MEETING INVITATION ~

Time:

.<\GENDA ACTION ITEMS
A. Division President's Report - Janice Rutherford
. Revisions to Inland Empire Division By Laws: Copies of the proposed by-
law changes were made available and will be voted on at the July 10th
Board of Director's General Membership Dinner Meeting at the San
Bernardino Hilton. Main changes will bring the Inland Empire by-laws into
line with the State League By Laws.
ACTION: Under the new by-laws, each city will designate one voting
member per GEiI1eral Membership meeting rather than having one
League representative for the year. The goal is to encourage all
council members to participate in league events and advocacy,
instead of people feeling constrained by an annual designee. The by-
laws provide for each city to cast one vote on any items of League
business. When a City Clerk makes reservations for a general
membership ffinctlng, the City Clerk will designate who among the
attendees is al'thorized to vote for that city at that particular meeting.
In the event that designated member is not able to attend the
meeting, the city official present, with the most seniority, may cast
that city's vote.
B. Legislative Update - Lee Ann Garcia
. Legislation and League Board of Directors items: A proposal is before the
Division General Membership to alter the format of the Legislative Task
Force and, if approved on July 10th, it would take effect immediately. The
Board of Director General Membership meetings are on the 3rd Thursday
of every other month. The Leg. Task Force would meet on the 3rd Thurs.
of the following month beginning at 3:30 pm and ending at 4:30 pm. If
there is a slight run over of the meeting, it would end by 5 pm, allowing for
Leg. Task Force Members to be closer to the end of their business day.
The next Division General Membership meeting is July 10th, with the next
Leg. Task Force meeting on August 21st. The format of the Leg. Task
Force will allow for sharing of information from the city members on
legislative priorities, current local issues and a presentation each meeting
from cities on their approach to legislation or legislative practices--a "Best

G. New business
. Bring your ideas and issues for the task force: If you have a business
owner, a Chamber President or Executive, an association President of
non-profit or labor and would like to have them attend a Division General
Membership Dinner, call Nancy Cisneros. Also remember to invite fellow
Council Members and City Managers to also attend.
