Osage Beach certifies election results and swears in new officials
Summary
The council certified the April 2026 municipal election results and the city clerk administered oaths for elected officials, including Richard Ross as mayor and several aldermen; the board also elected a president of the board for the coming term.
The board certified the municipal election results consistent with Missouri procedural requirements and administered oaths of office for newly elected officials.
The clerk read the certification of returns and confirmed that Richard Ross was elected mayor for a two‑year term; Brad Smith was certified as city collector; Kevin Rucker and Stephen George were certified as aldermen for their respective wards; and Bill McKay was certified as alderman for Ward 3 (transcript notes some county‑level cross‑certifications for precincts overlapping Miller and Camden counties). The city clerk administered individual oaths; those sworn included Brad Smith (city collector) and aldermen who spoke their oaths on the record, followed by Mayor Ross.
After the oath, the board conducted customary acknowledgements and the council elected Bob Osteen as president of the board for the coming year by motion and voice vote.
