VOTING DELEGATE AND RESOLUTION INFORMATION
August 13-15, 1998—Fontainebleau Hilton Hotel
As you know, the Florida League of Cities' Annual Conference will be held at the
Fontainebleau Hilton Hotel on August 13-15. This year's theme, FLCities—Pathways To
Progress, will provide valuable educational opportunities to help Florida's city officials
serve their citizenry more effectively.
It is important that each city designate one person to be the voting delegate. Policy
development, election of League leadership and adoption of resolutions are undertaken
during the business meeting. One official from each city will make decisions that
determine the direction of the League.
Registration materials have already been sent to each city. Call us if you need more. We
have attached the procedures your city should follow for presenting resolutions to the
League membership. Should you have any questions or need additional information,
please feel free to call Drew Smith or Kelvin Robinson at Suncom 278-5331 or 1-800-342-

• Procedures for Submitting Resolutions
72°'Annual Convention
Florida League of Cities,Inc.
--August 13-15, 1998
Miami Beach,Florida
In order to fairly systematize the method for 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 conference.
(2) Proposed resolution will be rewritten for proper form, duplicated by the League office and distributed to
members of the Resolution Committee at least 15 days prior to the first day of the annual conference.
(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 conference;
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 conference 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 Resolution Committee at the conference;
however, all state legislative issues will be by the standing policy committees and the Legislative
Committee prior to 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 conference may submit a letter
to the League office indicating 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.
