<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />October 18, 2021 <br /> <br />TO: City Managers/Administrators <br /> <br />FROM: Patricia Nauman, Executive Director <br /> <br />RE: Draft 2022 Legislative Policies and Policy Adoption Meeting <br /> <br />The Metro Cities Board of Directors approved Metro CitiesÓ 2022 legislative policies at their <br />October meeting, following the recommendation of legislative policies by four standing legislative <br />policy committees. Policies will receive final adoption by Metro CitiesÓ membership on Thursday, <br />December 9, 2021 at 12:00 noon. Please note that this meeting, originally planned to be held in <br />person in conjunction with the LMCÓs fall forum, will now be conducted virtually. Stay tuned for <br />meeting information and details. <br /> <br />Each city is responsible to designate a delegate to represent their cityÓs position on policies. A <br />quorum is required for the adoption of policies. <br /> <br />Draft policies are attached and online at www.metrocitiesmn.org/2022-draft-legislative-policies <br /> <br />Metro CitiesÓ protocol for adoption of policies is as follows: <br /> <br /> One vote per member city with one additional vote for each 50,000 in population <br />above the initial +50,000. <br /> Policy committee chairs will present brief summaries of recommended policies. <br /> Metro CitiesÓ President will distinguish clarifying questions and questions that could result in <br />a policy amendment. <br /> Individual policies can be opened for discussion if five delegates request it. <br /> Discussion on individual policies will be allowed and limited to 5 minutes. <br /> If there is a motion to amend a policy, the President will honor the motion if five or more <br />delegates request a vote by municipality. <br /> Any individual requesting a vote will be asked to verify their delegate status. <br /> If five delegates request a vote, a vote will be taken by municipality. <br /> If there is no discussion, or following any individual votes on policies, the President will <br />entertain a motion for adoption of policies by acclamation. <br /> <br />Please contact Metro CitiesÓ Office Manager Jennifer Dorn at jennifer@metrocitiesmn.org with any <br />questions. We look forward to seeing you on December 9th! Additional meeting details and <br />instructions to join the meeting will be provided in advance. <br /> <br />
