As used in ORS § 294.900 to 294.930, ‘council of governments’ means an entity organized by units of local government under an intergovernmental agreement under ORS § 190.003 to 190.130, which does not act under the direction and control of any single member government and does provide services directly to individuals. [1987 c.666 § 1]

294.900 to 294.930 were enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but were not added to or made a part of ORS Chapter 294 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
