Mission Statement

The Westside Cities Council of Governments (COG) is a voluntary cooperative effort among the cities to forge consensus on policies and programs of regional significance. The COG provides a forum for discussion and communication as well as formalized representation and advocacy on behalf of the Westside subregion with regional, state and federal agencies.

The COG’s primary objective is to keep informed and take action on issues that are of mutual interest, working together in partnership to preserve and enhance the quality of life in the subregion. The COG works as a clearinghouse, sharing information on items such as grants, regulations, legislation and rule making. The COG works with member cities to respond to funding opportunities from regional, state and federal sources to maximize limited public funds through a multi-city approach.

The COG also undertakes training and research to develop policy positions through established COG Committees and Working Groups.
