Legislative Policies

The League Board of Directors adopted the 2012 City Policies on Nov. 17, 2011. These policies will be used and referenced throughout the 2012 legislative session to guide the advocacy efforts of the League and individual Minnesota cities.

The LMC 2012 City Policies publication is the only comprehensive statewide advocacy agenda for all Minnesota cities. The policies cover the League's legislative initiatives and defensive positions on a wide array of issues.

In addition to adopting the city policies, the Board also adopted a diverse list of legislative priorities.

League policies cover the following areas:

The city policies are crafted with input from hundreds of city officials from across the state participating in the League’s four policy committees, regional meetings, annual conference, and many other member meetings.

The League Board of Directors and staff are grateful to all the city officials who took time to offer comments and suggestions throughout the year to improve the city agenda of local control, municipal authority, and strengthening the state-local relationship. Additionally, the League would like to acknowledge and thank the nearly 200 city leaders who volunteered their time to serve on the policy committees.
