The number of votes each city is allowed can be found on the table on the reverse side of this memorandum. To be eligible to cast a city's vote(s), each voting delegate and alternate must be officially designated by the city using the attached credentials form.

The voting delegate must pick up his/her voting credentials BEFORE the Annual Business Meeting and must be present at the Annual Business Meeting to cast the city's vote(s). Your city elected officials should be made aware of this request so that decisions can be made on who will be the voting delegate and alternate at the Annual Business Meeting. Before the Congress of Cities, NLC will be sending out a special edition of the Policy Informer summarizing the proposed National Municipal Policy amendments and resolutions that are to be voted on at the Annual Business Meeting. This information should be shared with your voting delegates. We ask that you return the completed form to NLC on or before October 14, 2003.
