Each year, the City Council/County Board appoints a Delegate and Alternate Representative to
the SCAG General Assembly, which is the nation's largest metropolitan planning organization
(MPO). It represents six counties, 191 cities and more than 19 million residents. SCAG
undertakes a variety of planning and policy initiatives. The Regional Conference and Assembly
will include a diverse program of expert panels, keynote presentations and technical
demonstrations that will share insights on how local governments and civic partners can
collaborate to make the most of new technologies to enhance mobility, economic opportunity
and quality of life.
Council Member Cecilia Iglesias expressed an interest in serving as a voting delegate for
SCAG. The voting delegate or alternate will consider all proposed Resolutions and/or Bylaw
revisions on behalf of the City of Santa Ana.
The City delegate will receive a complimentary one-night hotel accommodation at the JW
Marriot Resort & Spa for the night of May 2nd. An invitation was sent to the entire City Council
as the conference registration is free for all elected officials and city managers in the region.
