This year\u2019s business will be conducted differently than in past years, as we accommodate the move to an online platform. Most importantly, we feel confidant in the process to ensure vetting of candidates and resolutions, allow for discussion, and provide an opportunity for members to vote.
Each participating member \u2013 registered to attend the conference \u2013 should be sure to name a representative able to vote on behalf of the city or borough. Each member will have one vote, and the representative will receive voting instructions for using the online ballot at simplyvoting.com.<\/p>\n
Elections<\/strong> Resolutions<\/strong> We know that this will feel different, but we believe it meets our goals to provide an opportunity for member discussion, the ability to offer amendments, and a voting process that reflects member\u2019s interests. We encourage your patience and consideration through this process and appreciate your continued engagement in our active policy development. Remember, if you are interested in contributing to AML\u2019s policy and resolutions\u2019 development, join our Legislative Committee! That\u2019s the best way to be a part of the stance that AML takes on upcoming legislation and policy.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9hdHRhY2htZW50Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjEwODIwIn19@” button_text=”Business Meeting Packet” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Business Meeting Packet” _builder_version=”4.16″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Business Meeting Resources” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ header_font=”||||on|||#000000|” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ z_index_tablet=”500″ text_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” text_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” text_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” link_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” link_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” link_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” ul_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” ul_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” ul_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” ol_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” ol_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” ol_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” quote_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” quote_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” quote_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_2_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_2_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_2_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_3_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_3_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_3_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_4_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_4_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_4_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_5_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_5_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_5_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_6_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_6_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_6_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Alaska Municipal League\u2019s Annual Business Meeting will occur at the Annual Local Government Conference at 9:00 AM on Friday, December 8, 2023. At the Business Meeting, the AML membership will discuss, vote on, and adopt the 2024 Resolutions. Members may submit Resolutions for consideration, no later than October 20, 2023, to be added to the Draft Resolution Packet that will be distributed to the AML membership on October 27. Submitted resolutions will then be voted on by the AML Membership at the Friday, December 8th, 2023, AML Business meeting.<\/p>\n For further information on how to submit resolutions and other resolution guidelines, please refer to the Resolution Guidelines 23-24<\/a>.<\/p>\n
As you know, AML has implemented bylaw changes and a restructuring of districts as a result of board action to maximize member participation. We\u2019re excited about a robust and active board and thank all the candidates. The board\u2019s Nominating Committee received nominations up through November 1 and met on November 10th to vet candidates. They produced a final slate for member considerations, to be announced at the November 18th business meeting. Candidates will be able to make brief statements at the meeting, after which ballots will be distributed to voting delegates. These online ballots should be completed by 5pm on November 19th. The Nominating Committee will announce the results on Friday, November 20th, at the final business meeting.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s resolutions reflect priorities of AML and its members, as we work with one another to address challenges at the State and federal level. Draft resolutions were distributed to members early in October for review. The Resolutions Committee vetted the resolutions on November 9th for consistency with board policy and has produced the final slate of resolutions and position statement for member discussion. These can be found in your legislative strategy packet.
In your legislative strategy packet, you will find the revisions to AML\u2019s policy statement, edits to past resolutions to reflect necessary technical updates, and this year\u2019s slate of resolutions produced by AML\u2019s board of directors and members. On Wednesday, November 18th, we will introduce these and provide an opportunity for member discussion. Members may offer amendments at that time.
The list of resolutions and any amendments will be distributed to the member\u2019s voting delegate. That delegate will indicate approval of the original resolution, and amendments, and a final version if amendments are found to be adopted. Voting should be complete by 5pm on November 19th, with the final tallies announced at the business meeting on November 20th.<\/p>\n
