City Participates in Job Fair: On March 22, representatives from the City of Lake Ozark attended a lake area job fair in an effort to bring new talent to City Hall. Advertising open full-time and part-time positions in our Police, Police Dispatch, and Public Works departments, various city staff members are engaging with the public to discuss the benefits of working in local government and how to make a career change towards public service. This event will be the first of several this year where the City of Lake Ozark reaches out to the community at large to help fill some of our critical positions.
