The Health & Human Services Policy Committee
addresses the following areas of county government:
-
Public Health
-
Health Care
-
Welfare
-
Social Services
-
Juvenile Corrections
-
Jobs and Training
AMC policy committees are required to hold at least two regular meetings each year to consider resolutions submitted by member counties.
Subcommittees or task forces may be formed as necessary to address "hot topics"
or emerging issues.
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.
