Miller, Executive Director <br /> <br />RE: New 2003 Policy Adoption Process and Proposed 2003 Cities Policies <br /> <br />At the League's annual June 2002 conference in Rochester, the membership adopted a <br />constitutional amendment that places responsibility for adoption of legislative policy with the <br />Board, rather than with those cities attending the Policy Adoption Conference. The board is now <br />committed to developing a policy adoption process that will enhance member involvement. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />An important feature to this change is the input of the full LMC membership. To ensure <br />maximum member input, we are asking you and your city council to: <br /> <br />1. Please read the enclosed policies and submit any comments to Andrea Hedtke by fax at <br />(651) 215-4116, by email at ahedtke@Irnnc.org or by phone at (651) 281-1258. Andrea <br />will submit the comments to the Board and the Board will take fInal action on the policies <br />at its November meeting. The Proposed 2003 City Policies may also be found on our <br />web site at www.lrnnc.org. Please have your comments in no later than November 15, <br />2002. A list of the LMC Board of Directors has been included in your mailing. <br /> <br />2. Also enclosed is a Voting Ballot for each city to check their top five priority issues found <br />within these proposed policies. Please return the ballot to Lynn Peterson by mail or fax <br />at (651) 215-4115. <br /> <br />As part of the new policy adoption process, the Policy Adoption Conference and the Legislative <br />Conference are being combined into a new major legislative conference "event". This new <br />conference will be held January 15,2003 at the Sheraton Four Points in SL Paul. Further <br />information on the conference will follow. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Additionally, I would like to bring your attention to three upcoming dates for the Newly Elected <br />Officials & Leadership Conference for Experienced Officials conferences which will be held <br />January 24 and 25 at Ruttger's Sugar Lake Lodge in Grand Rapids; January 31 and February 1 at <br />the Midwest Wireless Civic Center in Mankato and February 28 and March I at the Doubletree <br />Park Place Hotel in St. Louis Park. <br /> <br />enclosures <br /> <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IAFFlRMA T/VE ACTION EMPLOYER <br />
