The Task Force's charge included:
1. The examination of the range of local and regional governmental services with an eye to where problems exist.
2. A review of various methods of governance.
3. The directives of making recommendations about which level the planning, coordination and delivery of local governmental services should occur, and making recommendations on the types of governance needed to achieve efficient service delivery.

The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, based on a recommendation from its own Futures Committee, named the Metropolitan Governance Task Force to examine the regional governance system for the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

The Task Force conducted about 20 meetings, beginning Aug. 29, 1991, and ending Oct 15, 1992, with a three-month break after the adoption of the preliminary report on May 20, 1992, to gather reaction from member city officials and other interested parties
