The City of Choctaw is a “Home Rule” city. Choctaw voters adopted its initial Charter in 1973. In April of 1999, Choctaw residents voted to amend the Charter and approved the proposition allowing the City Manager to reside within the city limits and/or the Choctaw-Nicoma Park school district.

The municipal government operates under a “Council-Manager” form of government as provided by the City Charter. The City Manager executes the laws and administers the government of the City. Pursuant to its provisions and subject only to the limitations imposed by the Oklahoma Constitution and by our Charter, all powers of the City are vested in an Elective Council, which:

• Adopts Budgets

• Appoints:

  • All Boards, Commissions, and Trusts

  • City Attorney

  • City Manager

  • Municipal Judge

• Determines Policies

• Enacts Local Legislation
