TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Owasso
FROM: Juliann M. Stevens
Deputy City Clerk
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2013-23, City Council Election
DATE: December 13, 2013
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to the provisions of the Owasso City Charter governing the election of City Council
members, "the Council shall take action by Resolution to call any necessary Ward Elections." In
2014, such election is required for Wards 3 and 4, each for a three-year term.
The staff has prepared Resolution No. 2013-23 which calls for an election to be conducted for
City Council Wards 3 and 4. In addition, the proposed resolution identifies the process to be
followed in order to meet all legal requirements and allows for proper notification to the Tulsa
County and Rogers County Election Boards.
The filing period for interested candidates will be February 3, 4, and 5, 2014. All candidates must
file a Declaration of Candidacy form with the Tulsa County Election Board between the hours of
8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on any of these dates. Only qualified electors who reside within the ward
shall be qualified to hold the office of City Council Member for that ward.
The primary election is set by the City Charter and will be held on March 4, 2014. All registered
voters residing within the city limits of the City of Owasso may vote in the election. Should one of
the candidates not receive the majority of all votes cast for the particular ward, a general
election will be held. The general election, if necessary, will be held on April 1, 2014.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2013-23 calling an election for the purpose of
electing City Council representation for Wards 3 and 4.
