recognitions

At the March 3, 2020 City Council meeting, the Mayor recognized three Choctaw police officers for their heroism in the line of duty. Officers Gillum, Hill, and Seeds were recognized for saving the lives of 3 people in 3 separate events. They will say they were just doing their job, but we know they went above and beyond. Thank you for your service to Choctaw, you are the epitome of professional public service. (pictured in no order are Officers Gillum, Hill, Seeds, Mayor Ross, and Chief Marshall.)

September 21, 2019 was proclaimed Hope Retreat Ranch Day in Choctaw. Walter and Janet Deen, owners of Hope Retreat Ranch, were presented the proclamation by Mayor Ross at the City Council meeting Tuesday night. Hope Retreat Ranch, located at 2320 S. Sandwood Avenue, celebrates their Annual Cowboy Days event each year in September.
At the June 4, 2019 regular City Council meeting, the City was awarded a check in the amount of $6,000 as a member of the OMAG Recognition Program. The OMAG Recognition Program seeks to strengthen municipal governance and reduce claims through education and self-assessment. OMAG believes the best-run cities and towns have fewer claims, and the claims they do incur cost less to resolve. Choctaw Elected Officials participated in OMAG prescribed training and completed a Stability Test for inclusion in the program. Congratulations and thank you!
Congrats to Zane Coleman! Zane was recently presented with a proclamation at the June 4th City Council meeting proclaiming May 7th as Zane Coleman day and recognizing him for his achievements as a wrestler and outstanding student for Choctaw High School.
