The Oskaloosa City Council approved its budget for fiscal year 2022 at their regular meeting Monday night (3/15).  The 2022 property tax levy is approximately $14.30 per $1000 valuation; that’s 12 cents higher than the 2021 property tax levy.  While the City’s 2022 budget is just over $39 million—down just over a third of the previous fiscal year budget.

Also during Monday’s Oskaloosa City Council meeting, City Manager Michael Schrock told the Council that the Early Childhood Education Center is on track to open in early July.  But because of problems building the swimming pool, the YMCA portion of the building may not open until November.
