CITY OF MOORE, OKLAHOMA

What CITY OF MOORE, OKLAHOMA does

The City of Moore is a municipal government entity incorporated in 1893 under the laws of Oklahoma, operating under a council-manager form of governance. It serves residents and businesses within its city limits, providing essential public services including public safety (a CALEA-accredited Police Department and an ISO Class 1-rated Fire Department), water and sewer utilities (273 miles of water lines, 34 active wells, 5 water towers, 3,200 fire hydrants, managed in partnership with Veolia Water), public works (257 miles of streets), parks and recreation (The Station Recreation & Aquatic Center, Brand Senior Center), animal welfare, planning and development, municipal court, and emergency communications (24/7 911 Center with Text-to-911). Community-facing programs include the Moore Food & Resource Center, Moore Public Library (Pioneer Library System), Moore Faith Clinic, and Central Oklahoma Community Action Agency partnerships.

The city's technology stack centers on a GIS portal for mapping and parcel data, GovBuilt for online permitting and licensing, Municipal Online Payments for utility billing and court payments, the Tyler Notification System for resident emergency alerts, and SHELTER PRO for animal shelter management. The 911 Center operates as part of the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) enhanced 9-1-1 system. The Fire Department, established in 1916, is one of only 8 departments in Oklahoma and less than 1% nationally to hold the ISO Class 1 Public Protection Classification.

Revenue mechanics are those of a typical mid-size municipal government: sales and property taxes as primary sources, recurring utility billing for water/sewer, transaction-fee revenue from permits, business licenses, and municipal court fines (capped at $800), and one-time fees from cemetery lot sales and animal registrations/adoptions. The most recent capital formation came through two General Obligation Bonds approved by voters on November 9, 2021, totaling $16,850,000 (an $8.64M streets bond passed at 67.80% and an $8.21M Animal Shelter bond passed at 64.68%), funding the new 15,040-square-foot Animal Shelter that opened in early 2024. Moore Public Schools—the third-largest district in Oklahoma—serves over 24,500 students across 34 schools and represents the largest institutional footprint within city limits.

Direct peers

• City of Midwest City, Oklahoma: Oklahoma City metro suburb with police, fire, water/sewer, parks/recreation, and animal welfare departments of comparable scale. Directly comparable governance structure and service mix; Tinker AFB adjacency differentiates its economic base but the operating model is essentially identical.
• City of Norman, Oklahoma: Adjacent Oklahoma City metro suburb of comparable size; operates its own police, fire, water/sewer utilities, parks, and municipal court. Most structurally similar peer to Moore — directly competing for residents, retail tax base, and corporate site selections in the same regional labor shed.
• City of Edmond, Oklahoma: Oklahoma City metro suburb offering the same suite of municipal services (police, fire, utilities, parks). Comparable population scale and growth profile, competing directly with Moore for suburban residential growth and corporate relocations along the I-35/I-44 corridors.
• City of Newcastle, Oklahoma: Adjacent Oklahoma City metro suburb south of Moore with a comparable mix of residential growth, public safety, and utility services. Direct competitor in the southern suburban growth corridor and useful peer for comparing small-city capex execution and digital-service adoption.
• City of Yukon, Oklahoma: Oklahoma City metro suburb (Canadian County) with comparable municipal service delivery model — police, fire, water/sewer utilities, parks. Directly competes with Moore for growth along the OKC western/southern suburban corridor and offers a peer benchmark for ISO ratings and bond-funded infrastructure programs.
• City of Lawton, Oklahoma: Mid-sized Oklahoma municipality with full municipal service portfolio (police, fire, utilities, public works). Notably connected to Moore through prior employment of key personnel (City Manager Brooks Mitchell and Assistant City Manager Jerry Ihler both came from Lawton), and operates at very similar scale.
• City of Del City, Oklahoma: Small Oklahoma City metro suburb operating the same core municipal functions (police, fire, public works, utilities). Smaller scale than Moore but the most apples-to-apples comparable on service-mix and revenue-stream composition for benchmarking.

Broad incumbents

• City of Oklahoma City: Larger incumbent that anchors the metro and jointly operates the ACOG 9-1-1 system that Moore's 911 Center plugs into. Provides the regional gravity that drives Moore's growth; not a direct competitor for residential capture but the shared service infrastructure makes it the most operationally intertwined peer.
• City of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma: Larger Tulsa-metro suburb offering the full municipal service stack with comparable population and infrastructure scope. Useful comparable for benchmarking scale of utility operations, public-safety staffing, and parks/recreation investment in a peer Oklahoma municipality.

Regional players

• City of Shawnee, Oklahoma: Oklahoma municipality outside the OKC metro but operating at comparable scale with full municipal services (police, fire, utilities, parks, animal welfare). Same state regulatory environment and similar voter-approved bond mechanisms, making it a relevant peer for capital-program and accreditation benchmarking.
