Five council members are elected from five different wards, or sections of the city. The mayor is elected by the council. The city council relies on a city manager and staff to implement the daily adminstrative duties required by the community. Council members also serve as trustees of the Owasso Public Works Authority and the Owasso Golf Authority. These Authorities hold their meetings on the same nights as council meetings.
All meetings are open to the public and all citizens are welcomed.
All public meetings are posted at city hall. This economic entity has provided expertise for Owasso since 1987. The city's primary source of income is sales tax.
