Synopsis of Previous Council Action:

Indianapolis, Indiana.

Background:
The National League of Cities (NLC) Annual Business Meeting will be held on Saturday,
November 12, 2011 at the conclusion of the Congress of Cities and Exposition in Phoenix, AZ.
Under the Bylaws of the NLC, each direct member city is entitled to cast from one to twenty
votes, depending upon the city's population, at the Annual Business Meeting. Based on our
population, we are entitled to six votes.
To be eligible to cast a city's vote(s), each voting delegate and alternate voting delegate must be
designated by the city. The designated voting delegate(s)must be present at the Annual Business
Meeting to cast the city's vote(s).
Council member Rikke Van Johnson plans to attend the Annual Congress of Cities and it appears
that he may be the only city elected official who will be attending this year's Congress.
Therefore, to establish his voting credentials, the Council needs to formally designate him as the
City's voting delegate.
