PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Designate a delegate and alternate for the 2025 National Association of Counties (NACo) Annual business meeting.
SUMMARY
The annual NACo conference is being held in Philadelphia City and County, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, July 11-14, 2025. The conference is the largest gathering of county elected and appointed officials from across the country. To participate in the annual election of officers and policy adoption, a county must have paid its membership dues and have one paid registrant for the conference, according to NACo bylaws.
The County Board Chair must sign and submit the NACo 2025 Credentials (Voting) Identification Form. The form identifies the name of the designated delegate and first alternate authorized to pick up the County's voting materials. In 2024, by Resolution No. 24-324 (June 25, 2024), the County Board designated Commissioner Mike Slavik as the delegate. In addition, the Board authorized the President of the Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC) to pick up Dakota County's ballot and cast votes in the event the ballot is not picked up by the delegate or alternate. Designation of a first alternate is optional. The president of AMC is automatically authorized to pick up the County's ballot if the delegate or first alternate does not pick up the ballot unless the County Board opts out of this authorization.
RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
Staff recommends delegating one County Board member, as well as the president of AMC. Commissioner Slavik, Commissioner Atkins, Commissioner Droste and Commissioner Hamann-Roland are registered to attend the annual business meeting.
