- concern is the observation that as AMM has become involved in more and more <br /> statewide issues, the staff has had a very noticeable decrease in the amount of <br /> time available to be spent in the area of metropolitan affairs. The Task Force <br /> feels strongly that the AMM should not only correct its decreased activity' in <br /> metropolitan oversight, but should actually become proactive in helping set the <br /> regional agenda. <br /> Richfield City Manager Jim Prosser and Golden Valley Councilmember Larry Bakken <br /> have drafted a revised "PURPOSES" Statement for incorporation in the Association <br /> bylaws. This document, attached as Appendix A, has been adopted by the Task <br /> Force as a recommended mission statement for the Association. In a nutshell , <br /> the recommended mission is well-summarized in the first item of that Purposes <br /> Statement: <br /> To serve as the exclusive and primary representative of the collec- <br /> tive interests of all metropolitaties on metropolitan-wide and <br /> statewide issues with unique metropolitan significance. <br /> To further that goal , the Task Force has made several observations and numerous <br /> recommendations for specific actions to enhance the success and performance of <br /> the Association. Those are set forth by topical area as follows, and prefaced <br /> by brief background material . <br /> During its deliberations the Task Force received input and advice from a number <br /> of resource persons. They are listed in Appendix B. The Task Force wishes to <br /> express its gratitude for their time and counsel . <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> - 2 - <br />
