City Council

The regularly scheduled meeting of Osawatomie City Council has been moved to the City Auditorium for May 27th, 2021. Due to inclement weather and heavy morning rain, the Council will no longer be meeting at the Mile Zero Trailhead for the Flint Hills Trail to celebrate the achievements of the Trail Task Force.

Task Force members will instead be recognized during the meeting inside the Auditorium, and will share a celebratory meal with members of the Governing Body ahead of the regular Council meeting.

Mayor Mark Govea will call the regular meeting to order at 6:30pm.
