COLLINSVILLE'S SALLEE NAMED
2005 OKLAHOMA MAYOR OF THE YEAR
FOR STATE'S SMALLER COMMUNITIES

TULSA - Stan Sallee, mayor, City of Collinsville, is the recipient of the 2005 Oklahoma Mayor of the Year Award representing communities with less than 5,000 population. He was presented the award from the Oklahoma Conference of Mayors (OCOM) at the Oklahoma Municipal League Annual Awards Breakfast on Sept. 15.

Mayor Sallee has provided a positive and team-building leadership style that forms bridges and creates a true spirit of cooperation throughout the community. He has dramatically changed the image of Collinsville into a can-do and progressive community interested in quality of life for all residents. Mayor Sallee has brought Collinsville into the larger Tulsa Metropolitan Association of Tulsa County Communities.

He has the ability to stay focused and keep a positive forward movement for the city's future while undertaking community building projects in an era of inconsistent leadership on the city commission and the inherent difficulty of working with four city managers in three years.

Included in Mayor Sallee's efforts are advocating for a new $2.3 million Fire/EMS/City Hall Complex at the Vision 2005 Planning Session and convening a meeting of city, Tulsa County, Cherokee Tribal and State Highway officials to discuss and commit to major street and bridge construction at both the east and west gateway entries to Collinsville, resulting in commitments totaling over $5.5 million in new construction. He provides the energetic and visionary leadership that places principles before personalities, community well-being before personal gain. Mayor Sallee has convened numerous meetings with citizens, elected officials and business leaders seeking to foster ventures and cooperative efforts to improve the capacity to bring services to the citizens of the City of Collinsville.

The OCOM award recognizes the dedication and commitment brought to the highest elected post in municipal government. Criteria for consideration requires nominees be an OCOM member and in elected municipal office at the time of presentation. Additionally, nominees must complete a minimum of three years of service in an elected municipal office and their municipality must be an OML member.
