The City of Oskaloosa continues to search for a new city manager following Michael Schrock’s resignation back in October.  Oskaloosa Mayor David Krutzfeldt says another city is affecting Oskaloosa’s hiring schedule.

“The consultants we’re working with have said that a number of the people they anticipate applying for the job here in Oskaloosa are actually applying for an opening in Indianola.  And Indianola won’t be done with their search until about the end of the month.  So they’ve asked to extend ours out two more weeks to allow for more resumes to come in.”

Schrock resigned to take a job as assistant city manager in Ankeny.  City Clerk Amy Miller is filling in as Oskaloosa’s interim city manager.
