CA 64.3 LEAGUE OF CITIES - 1978-79 DUES ASSESSMENT DIRECTED POLICY seeking policy direction as League of California Cities, fiscal year 1978-79. ORANGE:COUNTY Council considered the report dated July 28, 1978, prepared by Finance Director Larry Shaffer, to payment of dues assessed by the Orange County Division, for the Council directed Staff to pay one-twenty-sixth (1/26) of the total amount of dues paid by all Orange County cities and to forward a letter of explanation with the payment; on motion of Councilman Yamamoto, seconded by Mayor Evans, and carried 4:2, with Councilmen Garthe and Ortiz dissenting. A previous motion to pay the full amount of the dues assessed made by Councilman Garthe, and seconded by Councilman Brandt, failed to carry on a 2:4 vote, with Councilmen Ward, Yamamoto, Ortiz and Mayor Evans dissenting. Prior to voting on either motion, Councilmen Ward, Yamamoto, Ortiz and Mayor Evans all expressed the opinion that the assess- ment was excessive and there was a consensus that it was dis- proportionate to the voting power of the City, which equals that of smaller cities which pay substantially less dues. Coun- cilman Brandt reminded Council that the League had recently held a meeting to address the issue of proportional voting, but that no representative of the City of Santa Ana ~ad shown up to discuss the matter; as a member city, however, Santa Ana could still propose a resolution in favor of proportional voting on the floor of the State Convention in Anaheim in September, 1978. Council directed Staff to prepare such a resolution for presenta- tion to the League at the State Convention on motion of Council- man Brandt, seconded by Councilman Ward, and carried 6:0 unanimously. ~ CA 148.1 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 348 AUGUST 21, 1978
