A small city with a utility, an authority, and no newsroom
Claremore runs its own municipal utility and a set of public trusts and authorities that meet separately from the Council. Small cities are not less accountable because less happens — they are less accountable because nobody attends. The agendas are posted 48 hours ahead under the Open Meeting Act; almost nobody reads them.
Claremore Public Works Authority and Industrial/Economic Development Authority agendas, minutes and utility rate ordinances.
This chapter is new, and says so
Nothing on this site is an allegation. What is here on day one is the infrastructure a resident needs in order to ask: the statute, the deadline, the custodian, the meeting archive, and every official portal in one place. The findings come from the records, and the records have to be asked for first.
City Desk
9 verified links to Claremore, Rogers County and Oklahoma government — agendas, budgets, records portals and oversight bodies. Every one was fetched and checked on 2026-07-26, not copied from a search result.
File under the Oklahoma Open Records Act
51 O.S. § 24A.1 et seq.. The city has prompt, reasonable time to respond. We generate the letter, send it, and track the clock.
Watch the meetings
Claremore publishes its meetings through the city's own site. We index them so “what happened on the 6th” is one click rather than a scroll through an unlabelled playlist.
What is stale
A public dashboard of when each automated pull last succeeded. If the archive is behind, this page says so rather than letting the site quietly rot.
Why Claremore
Claremore runs its own municipal utility and a set of public trusts and authorities that meet separately from the Council. Small cities are not less accountable because less happens — they are less accountable because nobody attends. The agendas are posted 48 hours ahead under the Open Meeting Act; almost nobody reads them.
The Move Weight Foundation's first chapter is a town of thirteen thousand people in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, and it now holds 522 archived meetings with machine transcripts. The second is San Angelo, Texas. The third is Southaven, Mississippi, where the City's own released documents show an ad valorem agreement abating two thirds of property tax on a recital of twenty new jobs. None of those started with a tip. They started with somebody reading the agenda.
