Under provisions of the law, councils of governments are political subdivisions of the state, but they are not governments, as they have no authority to make laws, levy taxes, or exercise police powers.
Membership includes all thirteen counties and fifteen cities in the service area.
The Concho Valley Council of Governments is governed by an Executive Committee made up of one local elected official representing each county, the City of San Angelo, the San Angelo Independent School District, and the Texas Legislature. Located within the COG are the different divisions which provide the various services to the Concho Valley. The name of a point of contact has been provided so you might be able to ask for someone specific if you have a question or a concern about a particular service or services.
