The Environment & Natural Resources Policy Committee has primary jurisdiction over the following subject matters: waste management, natural resource management, water quality, air quality, planning & zoning, drainage, wetland management, public lands, land use and forestry.
Policy committees are required to hold at least two regular meetings each year to consider resolutions submitted by member counties. A policy committee may create sub-committees in order to meet the needs of the committee.
The AMC policy development process is carefully constructed to ensure that county officials:
Are actively involved in policy development through district and policy committee meetings;
Understand the issues facing county government and have a forum for thorough discussion;
Have access to well-informed, professional staff which carefully follow the policy direction set by the membership; and
Participate in the efforts necessary to fulfill the policy goals
AMC policy statements are developed through a democratic process aimed at reflecting the collective opinion of county commissioners in Minnesota. |
