Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG)

Membership includes 18 cities, Riverside County Board of Supervisors, Eastern and Western Municipal Water Districts, and the Morongo Band of Mission Indians.  The Riverside County Superintendent of Schools serves as an ex-officio member.

Under the Joint Powers Agreement, WRCOG is governed by a General Assembly that must meet at least once annually.  Each member agency has one vote for each mayor, council member, county supervisor, water district board member, and tribal council member present.  The General Assembly must adopt by-laws for the administration and management of the organization.  An executive committee consisting of one representative from each member serves as the “board” of the organization.  For certain issues–like the transportation mitigation fee program (TUMF)–the governance and voting are limited to the agencies that were involved or specifically involved in the program.
