Newest AP Boys’ Basketball Poll Sees Pella On Top In 3A

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

The new Associated Press Boys’ Basketball Poll came out earlier this week, and features a few area teams.

Pella has climbed to the top of the Class 3A poll. The Dutch have 122 points, just three more than Wahlert of Dubuque. Wahlert actually has one more first place vote than Pella, but it wasn’t enough to hold the Dutch off the top spot. Harlan is #3, Cedar Rapids Xavier is #4, and Chariton rounds out the top five. Grinnell received one point this week in the poll.

In Class 2A, Pella Christian slipped two spots to #6 after suffering a big loss to Pella last week. The Eagles are just outside the top five behind Western Christian, Cascade of Western Dubuque, Dike-New Hartford, Treynor, and Northeast of Goose Lake. Western Christian received all 13 first place votes.

In Class 1A, Montezuma has entered the top ten at #9 after an unbeaten start to the season. Lynnville-Sully is among the teams receiving votes after a strong start to the season as well.  The Hawks’ lone loss came in double overtime to Montezuma a couple of weeks ago. Gladbrook-Reinbeck is #1, followed by West Hancock, Danville, IKM-Manning, and West Fork.

There are no area teams in Class 4A. Iowa City West is at the top, followed by West Des Moines Valley, Pleasant Valley, Des Moines Hoover, and Ankeny.

The new AP Poll for boys’ basketball comes out every Monday during the season.

Judge: New US courthouse In Iowa Will Resolve Space Issues

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

(Information in the following story is from: The Des Moines Register, http://www.desmoinesregister.com)

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A U.S. district judge in Iowa says plans for a new federal courthouse in Des Moines will resolve issues of limited space at the current facility.

Chief U.S. District Judge John Jarvey says a new courthouse will eliminate the need to rent an additional facility nearby for several district offices.

President Barack Obama approved a spending bill this month that includes almost $948 million for a list of projects that include a new southern district of Iowa courthouse. Information about how much the Iowa project would cost or where it would be located is not available. It’s also unclear when a new courthouse would open.

Jarvey says he has met with city planners to look at potential locations downtown for a new building.

City Council Meeting 12/21/15

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

The Oskaloosa City Council met for their regularly scheduled and final meeting of 2015 Monday night in the Council Chambers in City Hall.

The meeting went at a brisk pace, with community comments starting the meeting. Blaine Vos, representing the Farmer’s Market, thanked the city for letting them use South 1st Street in front of the Mahaska County Court House. Vos also stated that it was a positive for local 4-H members, as around a dozen 4-H members came to sell produce.

Next up was a resolution of appreciation for 4th Ward City Council Member Jason Van Zetten. Mayor David Krutzfeldt presented Van Zetten with a plaque for his work as a city council member. When it came time to vote on the resolution, Van Zetten joked about having to vote on himself. At the end of the meeting, he stated he appreciated his time on the council.

The big topic during the regular agenda was the sale of city owned property. Terry Anderson had a bid to buy 717 A Avenue East and 603 A Avenue East for $1,500 from the city, but during the public hearing, Jeremy DeRonde made an offer of $2,500. The council then discussed whether or not it should be a bidding auction for the properties. Anderson then withdrew his offer for the properties. The council stated that DeRonde is not legally bound to purchase the properties, as DeRonde did not know about the back-taxes on one of the properties, as well as asbestos on one of the properties.

The next biggest topic was the Local Option Sales and Services Tax. City Manager Michael Schrock spoke about what happened in the Mahaska County Board of Supervisors meeting Monday Morning. Schrock stated that there were clearly still two “no” votes from the Supervisors on the recreation center. At-Large City Council Member Tom Walling urged the other council members to talk with the Board of Supervisors about the recreation center.

In other business:

  • The consent agenda was approved unanimously.
  • The council unanimously approved a resolution for a special assessment against private property for cutting and removing weeds by the City of Oskaloosa in accordance with Title 8, Chapter 8.20 of the City Code of the City of Oskaloosa.

The next scheduled meeting of the Oskaloosa City Council is set for January 4th, 2016 in the Council Chambers in City Hall.
