To meet the information needs of counties in a variety of ways, AMC provides counties with the following publications:

Minnesota Counties

Market your company's products and services directly to Minnesota counties!

AMC's main communications vehicle is the Minnesota Counties newspaper, which is published six times per year. It contains notices of upcoming AMC events, summaries of recent activities, individual county news, regular columns by the AMC president, executive director and staff, as well as a calendar of events, job posting notices and board meeting minutes.  Occasional in-depth articles feature a significant county issue, such as jail crowding or land use management.  Advertising is accepted in this publication.

AMC Update

Published throughout the year, the AMC UPDATE alerts counties to pertinent happenings at the State Legislature or federal government.  Our policy analysts summarize complex legislation, pulling out its significance - positive and negative - for county government.

 

Minnesota Counties EXTRA! e-edition

This new e-publication is another way of keeping all AMC members up-to-date on the latest news and events information, and is a companion publication to the regular Minnesota Counties newspaper and the AMC web site.

We know that even the most well-intentioned email publications can quickly become clutter if the content and frequency aren’t purposeful, so this publication will only be sent monthly (or semimonthly, if needed) to ensure that the content is useful and relevant for members.

"FYI" Resources

To help county officials, employees and citizens better understand what county government does, AMC produces a number of "For Your Information" bulletins.  These two to four page documents provide an overview of county revenue and expenditures, county government structure, duties of a county commissioners, transportation, the Minnesota Open Meeting Law, why property taxes vary, and other topics.  

Salaries & Benefits Survey

AMC annually produces the "County Salaries and Benefits Survey," which provides valuable data to personnel directors and others.  Included are salaries for elected officials and appointed department heads, county benefit expenses (meal/mileage reimbursements, etc.), county benefit leaves, insurance, tax capacity and number of employees, collective bargaining unity and more.

County Directory

The Minnesota County Directory, distributed each February, lists important information for each of Minnesota's 87 counties:   courthouse contact information and hours, board meeting schedule, county demographics, as well as contact information for commissioners and main department heads.   It's the "white pages" for county government in the state.
