CMAL has completed its study of county government research regarding the accountability, visibility and accessibility of county government in the metro area, as well as the relation between county government and other levels of government.  The purpose of the study is to update CMAL's position on county government in the metropolitan area. 

LWV ABC members Dee Ann Christensen, Julie Trude, and Wes Volkenant will present the report and the consensus questions  developed by the study committee.  After each of the Consensus Questions is read, questions answered and a discussion held, members will be asked to vote YES or NO. Our votes will be counted and forwarded to CMAL.  Our votes will be tallied, along with the consensus statements responses of all local Leagues who are members of CMAL, and will determine CMAL's position on county government in the metropolitan area.  

Members who are absent from this Zoom meeting may submit their individual votes on each Consensus Question to Vice President Julie Trude for inclusion in the tally we forward to CMAL.
