Any elected or <br />appointed official from member cities may participate as he or she <br />chooses. <br /> <br />I should also emphasize that the AMM is affiliated with the League <br />of Minnesota Cities (LMC) but is not duplicative nor competitive with <br />that organization. The AMM has a separate and distinct mission and <br />the primary area of difference is the AMM's involvement with the <br />Metropolitan Council an~ its Agencies. The LMC has no involvement <br />with Metropolitan type issues. We were successful.on several occasions <br />this past year through negotiation and direct testimony to influence <br /> <br />Metropolitan Council policy decisions in favor of AMM recommendations. <br />Comprehensive Plan amendmant guidelines, as approved by the AMM Board <br />of Directors, were adopted by the Met Council and authorized by the. <br />Legislature. This procedure will greatly speed up the process and <br />eliminate the Met Council's involvement in many cases' We also made <br />recommendations and most of which were adopted in the area of surface <br />water management and housing. The AMM also proposed and successfully <br />lobbied into law a special legislative commission to study the Met Council <br />and its agencies. The study is to determin~ if in fact the Met Council <br />is operating within the intent of its ~nabling legislation. The AMM.. <br />is ~he only.organization for cities constantly monitoring the Metropolitan <br />Council and its commissions.
