You could do worse than speak to your local councillor during their surgery. Some are OK; Councillor Braat [Lab] is one, Baillie Baker (Green) is another. They're both West End, but the council makes it pretty easy to find your own councillor.
http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/councillorsandcommittees/allMembers.asp?sort=0 You may even have a local community council/gorup association that meets up periodically (e.g. Yorkhill and Kelvingrove Community Council, not mine but one I know that is active). Maybe a few can be brought on board there. Unfortunately I can't find a convenient site that lists the various groups contact details. The pertinent questions you'd need to be able to answer are along the lines of: 1) Why is it good for councils to be more open? 2) What benefits can they gain? 3) How being open could save them money? (if that's possible) Then you have the various issue over how the information is made public. No point in releasing information that is hard to compare/aggregate (afraid I have no experience of that). J.
