Responsibilities

The City of Chickasha has a Council-Manager form of government in which the elected Mayor and City Council members establish policy. Those policies are then implemented by the City Manager who is appointed by, and reports to, the City Council.

The City Manager operates much in the same way that a Chief Executive Officer of a corporation does. The City Manager's Office is responsible for the day-to-day administration of Chickasha's city government, including managing the city's budget, the city's departments and operations, and programs for communicating with residents and employees.

• Our mission is to continue building partnerships with our customers, elected officials, employees, and others to transform Tomorrow's Chickasha Vision into reality. We will provide visionary leadership focused on developing the highest quality, competitively priced, and efficiently delivered services to our customers.
