Procedures for Submitting Resolutions '
71st Annual Conference
Florida League of Cities, Inc.
August 21-23, 1997
Lake Buena Vista, 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 to writing, to be received in the League office a minimum of 30
days prior to the first day of the annual conference.
(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
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 Resolutions Committee at the conference;
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 conference may submit a letter
to the League office indicating that their city is considering the adoption of a resolution, outlining the subject
thereof in a much detail as possible, and this letter will be forwarded to the Resolutions Committee for
consideration in anticipation of receipt of the formal resolution.
