Ozark's Citizen of the month

As we begin the new year and start fresh with all of our resolutions, I hope to do things better this year. One of the main things I want to do better is keeping the public informed and being available for questions and comments. Keeping citizens engaged and informed is a top priority, and I am pleased to announce that we have a consistent schedule for the monthly meeting with the Mayor in 2022. I will host this community engagement session on the 2nd Saturday of every month from
9 - 10:30 am at the Ozark Community Center. During this time, I will provide information about city business that has happened and what is in the works for the future, then I turn over the floor to the members of the community to ask questions and speak about their concerns. My goal is to make sure there is total transparency with your local government and that your voice is heard on city business. We are so lucky to live in such an awesome community and I want to make sure that you are part of the success of our town. I look forward to meeting with you and thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you as Mayor.
Bradley A. Jackson
Mayor, Ozark Missouri

Our Journey into 2022, is just a mile marker on the road to our vision for 2030. We are excited about this new year and all the goals that we will continue to meet with the help of our community. Let's continue to "Make Ozark Better Every Day!"

Shop with Cops 2021
The 2021 Cops for Kids event was a huge success! This year 70 kids partnered with an Ozark Police Officer or Christian County Sheriff’s Deputy to do some shopping to make their Christmas a little more special. A big thanks to the Ozark Walmart, the Ozark Police Officers Association and their community partners, and the Ozark Citizen’s Academy Alumni for teaming up with the Ozark Police Department to make this event possible.
