Hyatt Orlando, Kissimmee, Florida
DATE: June 6, 1995
Enclosed is a tentative program and registration materials for the annual meeting of the
Florida League of Cities.
General policy development is one of the primary purposes of the annual convention.
It provides cities with an opportunity to focus attention on municipal home rule and prepare a
positive program to strengthen cities. Therefore, each city is encouraged to have one official
attend the convention as its voting delegate and participate in the discussion. A form designating
your city's voting delegate is enclosed along with procedures for presenting resolutions to the
League membership.
It is important that each city send as many delegates to the convention as possible. The
convention program will include some timely workshops, educational seminars and general
sessions of interest to all cities.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact

PROCEDURES FOR SUBMITTING RESOLUTIONS
69TH ANNUAL CONVENTION
Florida League of Cities, Inc.
August 17-19, 1995
Kissimmee, Florida
In order to fairly systematize the method of presenting resolutions to the League membership, the following procedures have been
instituted:
(1) Proposed resolutions must be submitted in writing, to be received in the League office a minimum of 30 days prior to the
first day of the annual convention (July 17, 1995).
(2) Proposed resolutions will be rewritten for proper form, duplicated by the League office and distributed to members of the
Resolutions Committee at least 15 days prior to the first day of the annual convention. (Whenever possible, multiple
resolutions on a similar issue will be rewritten to encompass the essential subject matter in a single resolution with a
listing of original proposers.)
(3) Proposed resolutions may be submitted directly to the Resolutions Committee at the convention; however, a favorable two-
thirds vote of the committee will be necessary to consider such resolutions.
(4) Proposed resolutions may be submitted directly to the business session of the convention without prior committee approval
by a vote of two-thirds of the members present. In addition, a favorable weighted vote of a majority of members present
will be required for adoption.
(5) Proposed resolutions relating to state legislation will be referred to the appropriate standing policy committee. Such
proposals will not be considered by the Resolutions Committee at the convention; however, all state legislative issues will
be considered by the standing policy committees and the Legislative Committee prior to consideration by the membership
at the annual Legislative Conference each fall. At that time, a state Legislative Policy Statement will be adopted.
Cities unable to formally adopt a resolution 30 days prior to the first day of the convention may submit a letter to the League office
indicating that their city is considering the adoption of a resolution, outlining the subject thereof in as much detail as possible, and
this letter will be forwarded to the Resolutions Committee for consideration in anticipation of receipt of the formal resolution.
