Resolutions Committee
Last year, the League Executive Committee approved a change in the resolutions process. The new system allows for more in-depth research and greater
involvement by elected officials and staff in developing the League's Municipal Policy Statement.
There are five separate policy committees thoroughly vetting the issues. All submitted ideas were assigned to relevant committees by League President
Mark Mitchell, mayor of Tempe. These committees have been meeting this month to discuss and process these ideas and an actual resolution will be crafted
and submitted to the Resolutions Subcommittee.
The five policy committees and their chairs are:
- Budget, Finance and Economic Development, Mayor Kenny Evans of Payson
- General Administration, Human Resources and Elections, Mayor Lana Mook of El Mirage
- Neighborhoods, Quality of Life and Sustainability, Councilmember Gilbert Lopez of Coolidge
- Public Safety, Military Affairs and Courts, Mayor Jerry Weiers of Glendale
- Transportation, Infrastructure and Public Works, Mayor Jonathan Rothschild of Tucson
Following this policy committee process, League staff will brief Mayor Doug Von Gausig of Clarkdale, this year's Resolutions Committee Chairman on the recommendations
from the policy committees for the League Annual Conference. The chairs of each committee will be responsible for presenting these new resolutions to the full Resolutions Committee.
Resolutions will be available in early July and sent to cities and towns prior to the full Resolutions Committee meeting.
If you have any questions about the new resolutions process, please e-mail resolutions@azleague.org or call 602-258-5786. |
