One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on <br />matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy. <br /> <br />2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual <br />Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate <br />and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting <br />delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee. <br /> <br />3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or <br />alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in <br />the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign <br />in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on <br />their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General <br />Assembly. <br /> <br />4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting <br />delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card <br />by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting <br />delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution. <br /> <br />5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the <br />city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials <br />committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting <br />delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official <br />who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate. <br /> <br />6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with <br />a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will <br />be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a <br />special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate. <br /> <br />7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will <br />determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of <br />a city official to vote at the General Assembly. <br /> <br />
