The LMC 2025 City Policies publication was created with member input and approved by the LMC Board of Directors on Nov. 7, 2024. It is the only comprehensive statewide advocacy agenda for all Minnesota cities.
The policies cover the League’s legislative initiatives and defensive positions on a wide array of issues. The 2025 publication contains one new policy on city cost participation on state and county roads, as well as several substantial and technical changes to existing policies.
These policies will be referenced throughout the 2025 legislative session to guide the advocacy efforts of the League and individual Minnesota cities.
