IIn the course of conducting the peoples’ business, governments at all levels must closely and constantly work with one another to achieve positive results.

The primary mission of the Committee on Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) is to foster strong cooperative working relations between Westchester County and the federal, state and local governments. IGR will establish standards for the Board of Legislators’ regular communication and interaction among each level of government, with the goal of maintaining an open and productive dialogue that will create and enable positive action on intergovernmental issues.

The Committee will develop cooperative solutions to the ongoing problem of unfunded state mandates, address regional transportation and environmental issues in the Hudson Valley and promote the use of County resources as a vehicle to better intermunicipal relations.
