WARREN During a Wednesday meeting of the Trumbull County Council of Governments, the new county commissioner questioned the choice of attorney the public body uses.
The council of governments, or COG, was formed in 2018 and is made up of many county communities. The townships, cities and villages pay a small fee to join the COG and can petition for projects that utilize the shared resources of the group members. So far, projects mostly have included building demolitions that use the staff and equipment of the Trumbull County Engineer’s Office, for which the particular community reimburses the engineer’s office for, through the COG. The COG also is working on a joint program to test fire equipment for safety and effectiveness at participating fire departments.
