,;J (7 11 <br />league of minnesota c�'itiec <br />October 9, 1986 <br />TO: ors, MsY Manage e 9 d Clerks <br />FROM: Donald A. Sla x utive Director <br />RE: Proposed policies and the policy adoption meeting <br />Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the League of Minnesota Cities' 1987 <br />Proposed City Policies and Priorities. Please consider them carefully and share <br />them with other officials in your city. <br />We are sending them out now, so you will have time to take formal action on them <br />at a council meeting prior to the League's Policy Adoption Meeting on November <br />20, 1986. <br />The Policy Adoption Meeting is in addition to the League's Legislative <br />Conference which will be held on March 10, 1987. The League Board requested the <br />change to boost participation in the policy adoption process and to give Leaprre <br />lobbyists more time to prepare legislation before the session begins. <br />The timing for policy adoption is only one of the changes in the process this <br />year. The other major change was to bring up policy issues at the League's <br />regional meetings so city officials could discuss the policies, offer comments, <br />and express their ^.pinions. League staff then took this information back to the <br />policy committees for consideration. <br />This gave more city officials a chance to mold the policies during the early <br />stages of policy development. And, from the comments on the regional meeting <br />surveys, League members appreciated this opportunity. <br />Again, please study the enclosed policies, and plan to attend the Policy <br />Adoption Meeting on November 20, 1986 to vote on them. Remember, each city has <br />a vote at that meeting. The Policy Adoption Meeting will be at the <br />Sheraton -Midway Hotel in St. Paul, beginning at 10:00 am. (Registration opens <br />at 9:00 sm -- See attached information for details.) <br />1 : t; h u uvr-rt:rtty !;I;. I)ln Al. rninnr.3UCFr 55101 161 21 227-5600 <br />
