The General Government Policy Committee has primary jurisdiction over the following areas:

• Finance

• Taxation

• Personnel

• Intergovernmental relations

• County structure

• Economic development

• Utility deregulation or restructuring

AMC policy committees are required to hold at least two regular meetings each year to consider resolutions submitted by member counties. A policy committee may create sub-committees in order to meet the needs of the committee.

The AMC policy development process is carefully constructed to ensure that county officials:

• Are actively involved in policy development through district and policy committee meetings;

• Understand the issues facing county government and have a forum for thorough discussion;

• Have access to well-informed, professional staff which carefully follow the policy direction set by the membership; and

• Participate in the efforts necessary to fulfill the policy goals.

AMC policy statements are developed through a democratic process aimed at reflecting the collective opinion of county commissioners in Minnesota.
