The Transportation Policy Committee has primary jurisdiction over the following subject matter: transportation, agriculture, drainage, economic development and tourism.
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. |
