Memorandum

To:

CORTEZ CITY COUNCIL

From:

DREW SANDERS, CITY MANAGER

Date:

May 23, 2024

RE:

Resolution No. 9, Series 2024

DISCUSSION

The CML board has announced they are accepting applications for 11 executive board memberships, 3 to represent medium municipalities. Under the category definition provided by CML, Cortez is considered a medium sized municipality. Applications are being accepted through the end of business on Friday, May 31, 2024. In order to be considered for this position, candidates must be endorsed by their City Council, and the endorsement must accompany the application. This is a competitive application process, so Council endorsement of Mayor Medina does not guarantee her acceptance as an executive board member.

BACKGROUND

CML is now accepting applications for members interested in running for the CML Executive Board. CML membership will vote for members' names placed on the ballot by the CML Nominating Committee at the Annual Business Meeting scheduled for Thursday, June 20, during the 102nd CML Annual Conference in Loveland. The CML Executive Board consists of 21 municipal elected and appointed officials elected by their peers.

CML general governance overview:
CML works with Colorado cities and towns to develop and improve municipal government.

I move that Council approve Resolution No. 9, Series 2024, a resolution nominating Mayor Rachel Medina to serve on the Executive Board of the Colorado Municipal League.
