Citizen Involvement Needed

Community Bridge Toll-Free Day: Today, April 30th, 2024 is Community Bridge Toll-Free Day in Lake Ozark.On May 1, 1998, the Lake of the Ozarks Community Bridge opened to traffic and began collecting tolls to repay the bridge construction. Today, 26 years later, the final toll was collected to pay off the bridge and it is now free for all traffic.A ceremony commemorating this occasion was held overlooking the bridge today, with a proclamation delivered by Mayor Newberry naming today as Community Bridge Toll-Free Day. Comments were heard from Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe, the Missouri Highway Commission, and representatives from the Community Bridge Board of Directors.The City is thankful for the visionary leadership that conceived of this project decades ago, and is looking forward to a new era of impact this bridge holds as a toll-free facility, soon to be maintained by the State of Missouri.

Lake Ozark Citizens interested in serving on the city’s Special Events Review Committee should complete the form available at this link.

The Special Events Committee is made up of two citizens, two business owners, and representatives from local business organizations who have experience in organizing community events. This committee is scheduled to meet on the fourth Monday of every month at 1:00 P.M. in Lake Ozark City Hall at 3162 Bagnell Dam Boulevard. At the monthly meetings, the committee typically reviews applications for special events in Lake Ozark and meets with the event organizer to discuss the event at hand. This group then provides a recommendation to the Board of Aldermen regarding how to proceed with the application, and identifies anything the organizer may need to improve upon prior to the event date.
