The Oskaloosa City Council approved its tax levy for the 2023 fiscal year at Monday night’s (3/21) meeting.  The levy is virtually unchanged from 2022: roughly $14.30 per $1000 of assessed value on your home.  The City’s budget calls for less money to go into the general fund and road use fund, and steer more money toward the water and sanitary sewer departments to prepare for construction of a new wastewater treatment plant.

Also on Monday, the Oskaloosa City Council spoke with consultant Brent Hinson about recruiting for the city manager position.  Hinson says he has received eight applicants so far.  The deadline for applying is March 31.
