Is there anywhere that displays what all the agency titles belong to, I.E ilo, Sierra, lima, lake or valley titles mean or what agency they belong to. For example who or what agency does a sierra unit belong to?

It depends...
TGID's?
Dispatch centers frequently use the NATO alphabet to differentiate different groups on their system. A Charlie (C) unit in Salt Lake is different than a Charlie (C) unit in Cache.

I understand that they use the NATO Language, but is there somewhere I can find who belongs to what agency?

There is no single answer. Most all Police agencies use many of the same "Group Name's" if you will. so depending on the agency the id " Bravo, Sierra, etc. " can meen different things. There are a few that seem to be fairly standard in SLC valley.
Lake = SSL PD
Valley = West Valley
Sierra = SWAT or Sargent
Metro = Metro Gang Unit
Tango = Traffic
Listen long enouph and you will begin to notice the patterns of what units are doing what activities and where.

It also depends on the County. Davis uses a totally different set of callsigns than other counties. T=Clinton. Delta=Davis Sheriff Deputies. C=Clearfield. Kilo=Kaysville, Lima=Layton. Fox=Farmington. Xray=Woods Cross. About the only Davis County agency that uses their official state assigned calls are Bountiful 2G.
Speaking of official state callsigns, each county has a letter and a number. Weber = F. 1= County. 2 = County Seat, etc. If you hear a 1F callsign, that's Weber Co Sheriff. 2F= Ogden PD, 3F = Roy, etc.
Davis Co = G. 1G=Davis Co Sheriff (but we know they use Delta, not 1 Golf) Bountuful = 2G, etc.
Tooele = H. Tooele Co Sheriff = 1H. Tooele City PD = 2H, Grantsville = 3H, etc.
SL Co = I (India). The only time you'll hear units using their official callsign is when they are talking to other agencies on statewide or regional.
Utah Co = J. Most Utah Co agencies use their state callsigns so identifying each agency is easy. 1J= UT Co Sheriff. 2J= Provo. 3J= Orem, etc. 4J= Springville, 5J= Am Fork, etc.
Summit Co = K.
Wasatch Co = L
Charlie Units are also different for many agencies. Most VECC dispatched C units are animal control. SL Co Sheriff C Units are westside (Oquirrh). SL Co Sheriff also dispatches for some incorporated cities such as Taylorsville, Holladay, Cottonwood, Riverton, etc. Taylorsville PD go by Tango. They used to go by Taylorsville but changed for some reason. The other cites go by their city name.
It gets worse! Tango units for VECC agencies are Traffic. Sierra are usually Shift Sgts. There are also Lima, Oscar, Motor (motorcycle) and X-ray units.
State Agencies also have their set of ALPHA callsigns. Some of the more common are:
1A = Div of Wildlife Resources
2A = State Parks & Rec
6A = State Prison
9A = DOT
12A = Natl Guard
25A = Motor Vehicle Enforcement (MVED)
38A = Dept of Corrections Adult Probation & Parole (APP)
Fed Agencies are BRAVO
1B = FBI
14B = US Forest Service
etc. etc. etc.

Some others to confuse you with:
CACHE:
Delta - Cache Co. Sheriff
Sierra - Logan PD
Tango - North Park PD
Zulu - Smithfield PD
BOX ELDER:
Charlie - Box Elder Sheriff
Bravo - Brigham PD
Tango - Tremonton PD
Whiskey - Willard PD
Papa - Perry PD
Golf - Garland PD
Also with Utah County Sheriff using their state callsign 1J:
two digit (1J10, 1J20, 1J30 et al) are Lieutenants
100's are the patrol division broken down into:
100-105 - Canyon Patrol (with the lowest number usually the first two being the Sargeants)
110-149 - County Patrol Units (numbers ending with a seven e.g: 117, 127 are ACO officers)
150-159 - Eagle Mountain deputies (150, 151 sargeants with 157 ACO)
160-169 - Saratoga Springs deputies (160, 161 sargeants with 167 ACO)
170's - Reserve deputies
180's - unknown
190's - K9 deputies
200's are Detectives
300's are Warrant and Civil Servants
400's are Jail officers
500's are Emergency Services
600's are County Fire
700's are Search and Rescue
800's are Public Works
900's are Radio Techs
Utah Highway Patrol troopers numbers are based on seniority not on rank and are a two or three digit number. In Salt Lake and Utah counties they are dispatch from the TOC (Traffic Operations Center) in SLC but in the other counties like Davis, Weber and Box Elder for example they are dispatched from that counties own dispatch. In Cache where they switched to a countywide consolidated dispatch you'll hear "Delta" and "Sierra" units then hear a "181 Cache." the "181" would be the UHP trooper.
If you wern't confused before how 'bout now?

Utah County Call numbers
Most of this holds true for Utah County. However, you may also hear two digit call numbers. There were changes made a month or so back when they went to the Spillman System. A Lieutenant, a consulant or a higher ranking officer may have a two digit numer. All of this is in a state of change until they get it all finalized.

Still don't have enough?? Take it from a former dispatcher....it's a pain in the behind to keep up on who is what and/or who. I would like to add just a couple of clarifications:
With almost every agency, Kilo units are K-9 cars (except the airport)
Tango units heard on County Sheriff TG's are now Taylorsville Units.
X-ray units - typically on WVCPD only, they are the NNU Dudes.
Delta units: Detectives, most of the time.
Metro units: Metro gang/metro narcotics, etc.
In SLC, you will hear call signs such as A213, B146, C916, etc. Here is an abbreviated breakdown on how they work.
A,B,C indicate the shift that they work, day, afternoon or night.
First number (almost always a 1 or 2), indicate an east or a west side car.
Last two numbers are usually the beat number.
Any time you hear a car with the call sign 916, they are in the drunk van.
Call signs in the 400's are bike officers.
D900 series cars are crime lab cars.
D700 series cars are detectives.
Now for the last couple of wrenches. You will hear frequently when a "hot" call is dispatched, they will confirm, for example, that Car37 and B220 copied the call. CarXX is the watch commander (I think). All of the unis that end in zero (C210, B180, A450, etc) are the sergeants that are on shift.
If anyone wants info on the airport PD, just let me know.
That's all for now, if it wasn't enough.

When you are talking about "Ops" trucks, are you referring to the Operations crew or the Police Department? Those are two totally different groups. The TG's on the website are somewhat correct, but I'm compiling an overhaul so they can update them.
