. ► <br /> • <br /> January 27, 1990 <br /> TO: Senators <br /> Representatives <br /> Local Officials <br /> FROM: AMM Staff <br /> SUBJECT: AMM Priority Policy Issues For 1990 <br /> Enclosed for your reference is a complete description of the <br /> 1990 addendum to the AMM Policy as adopted by the membership. <br /> We do wish to point out certain policy issues which are considered <br /> by our membership and Board of Directors to be of extreme high <br /> priority to the metropolitan area cities. <br /> Major High Priority Issues. <br /> 1.
