The municipality of the City of Omro is organized as a 4th Class City under Chapter 62 of the Wisconsin State Statutes, which provides for the Mayoral / Council form of government. Under this organization, City government has a legislative branch, belonging exclusively to the City Council, an executive (or administrative) branch, under the direction of a City Administrator-Treasurer, who is hired by the City Council, and a judicial branch administered under the direction of the Municipal Court Judge.
The City Council meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 7:00 PM. If needed, workshops are held at 6:00 PM, prior to the council meeting, for more in depth discussion.
|
The City Council has established a number of committees, commissions and boards to review city programs, projects and community issues. These groups provide greater community participation and can be a valuable source of information as they make recommendations to the City Council on specific areas. These bodies are all organized either through city ordinance or state statutes, which also prescribe their duties and authority. Unless provided for under state statutes, all meetings are open to the public.
