BACKGROUND
The League of California Cities (Cal Cities) will hold its Annual Conference and Expo in Long Beach, California on October 16-18, 2024.

City councils must appoint a voting delegate to vote during the General Assembly. As part of the September 24, 2024 Council Meeting, the City Council designated Councilmember Park as the City's voting delegate.
This report transmits the Cal Cities 2024 Resolutions Packet (Attachment 1), which contains the proposed resolution that will be considered at the Cal Cities' General Assembly on October 18, 2024, supporting letters from city officials, and an analysis by Cal Cities.
