<br />2026 Resolution Packet <br /> <br />General Assembly Voting and Discussion Procedures <br />Discussion Procedures: <br />Discussion procedures during the General Assembly are guided by two calendars: <br />the Consent Calendar and the Regular Calendar. As seen below, resolutions are <br />calendared by the recommendations they receive from policy committees and <br />the Resolutions Committee. <br /> <br />For General Resolutions: <br />Policy Committee Recommendation <br />Resolutions Committee Recommendation Calendar <br />Approve Approve Consent Calendar <br />Approve Disapprove or refer Regular Calendar <br />Disapprove or refer Approve Regular Calendar <br />Disapprove or refer Disapprove or refer Does not proceed to General <br />Assembly <br /> <br />For Petitioned Resolutions: <br />Policy Committee <br />Recommendation Resolutions Committee Action Calendar <br />N/A <br />Approve Regular Calendar <br />Disapprove or Refer Regular Calendar <br />Disqualified Does not proceed to General <br />Assembly <br /> <br />Items on the Consent Calendar will be presented as one motion during the <br />General Assembly from the Resolutions Committee chair. Unless an item on the <br />Consent Calendar is set aside by the majority of the General Assembly, a vote will <br />be taken on the whole calendar. If an item is set aside, it will be opened for <br />discussion, followed by a vote. <br /> <br />Items on the Regular Calendar will be presented individually by the Resolutions <br />Committee chair. After a recommendation is presented by the Resolutions <br />Committee chair, the resolution will be opened for discussion by the General <br />Assembly. A vote will take place following discussion. <br /> <br />Voting Procedures: <br />Per Cal Cities Bylaws Article XII, Sec. 2, all votes will be conducted by voice vote <br />first. If the presiding official cannot determine the outcome, a vote will be taken <br />by an alternative method, typically a raise of voting cards by voting delegates. A <br />roll call vote may be called for by delegates of ten percent or more of the <br />General Assembly. <br /> <br />3 <br />Page 293 of 318
