About Our City Government
The City of Wewoka operates under a Council-Manager form of municipal government, a structure that combines the community leadership of an elected City Council with the professional administrative expertise of an appointed City Manager. This system is designed to provide responsive, efficient, and ethical public service to all residents.
Our governmental framework is guided by a clear mission and a core set of values, all of which support a strategic direction that fosters a positive future for our community.
City Council
The Wewoka City Council is the legislative and policy-making body of the city government. It consists of a mayor and council members elected by the public to represent them, all dedicated to representing the best interests of their constituents and the community as a whole.
The City Council’s primary responsibilities include enacting city ordinances, approving the annual budget, setting policies, and appointing the City Manager.

The City Manager’s duties include managing the day-to-day operations of the city, implementing the policies set by the Council, managing the city’s budget and personnel, and directing Wewoka’s various City Departments.
