Dear Ms. Stewart:
The National League of Cities (NLC) Annual Business Meeting will be held on
Saturday, December 4, 2010, at the conclusion of the Congress of Cities and
Exposition in Denver, CO. As a direct member city, your city is entitled to vote at
this meeting. Based on the population as of the 2000 Census, each member city
casts between one and twenty votes. The number of votes for each population range
can be found on the table on the reverse of the credentials form.
To be eligible to cast a city's vote, a voting delegate and alternate must be officially
designated by the city using the enclosed credentials form. This form will be
forwarded to NLC Credentials Committee. NLC bylaws expressly prohibit voting
by proxy. City elected officials should be made aware of this request so that
decisions can be made as to who will be the voting delegate and alternate(s).
At the Congress of Cities, the voting delegate must pickup the city's voting card at
the Credentials Booth before the Annual Business Meeting and must be present at
the Annual Business Meeting to cast the city's vote. The Credentials Booth will be
open during scheduled times throughout the Congress of Cities.
Please return the completed form to NLC by fax 202-626-3109 on or before
October 30, 2010. If you have any questions, please contact Tata Sidibe,
sidibe@nlc.ore or 202-626-3188 or Mae Davis, mdavis@nlc.orQ, 202-626-3150.
Thank you,
