Metropolitan Governance Reform <br />Twin Cities' Local Government Coalition <br />-Statement of Objectives - <br />A coalition of local governments throughout the metropolitan area has joined together to <br />develop a position statement and a set of principles for improving metropolitan governance <br />in the Twin Cities. <br />The Coalition supports the need for regional planning, collaboration and coordination, but <br />seeks to expand local government representation on the Metropolitan Council. <br />The Coalition's objectives for its collective effort to improved governance are: <br />1. To articulate a vision of responsive and effective metropolitan governance—as <br />represented by a Statement of Belief and Principles for Reform of the Metropolitan <br />Council <br />2. To align local government interests behind a reform effort—through formation of a <br />broad coalition of metropolitan Cities and Counties —and a common position. <br />3. To be prepared for any efforts—legislative and otherwise—to reform the <br />governance structure and functioning of the Metropolitan Council. <br />Attached is the Coalition's Statement of Belief and Principles for Reform. <br />
