The TCVCOG is a non-profit organization that facilitates multi-municipal efforts and implements efficient, cost-effective programs on behalf of its members. The organization operates under a set of written by-laws and is governed by a Board of Directors. |
Member municipalities join the COG through Council resolution. Each member pays annual dues of $3,500 and is entitled to appoint two representatives to the Board of Directors – one voting and one alternate delegate. Board officers are elected for two-year terms on the even years. The four officers and the previous Chairman make up the Executive Committee. |
The TCVCOG was founded in 1971 when eleven municipalities recognized a benefit to working cooperatively and sharing services. Currently, there are twenty municipalities in the TCVCOG with total population of approximately 190,000. The members are: |

An administrative staff hired by the Organization carries out the day-to-day activities and programs of the COG. Currently, this staff consists of an Executive Director, Community Development Coordinator, a computer/fiscal services manager, an office manager, and a public works foreman and three public works laborers. |
The COG derives its operating funds from various sources including annual membership dues, fees for contracted services and an administrative grant from Allegheny County Department of Economic Development. Additional funding support comes from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development for various programs, and through RAD. The COG does not have a dedicated source of funding. |
