The Oskaloosa City Council met earlier this week and officially swore in their new city manager. Shawn Metcalf was named the new city manager last month, and he replaces former city manager Amal Eltahir, who resigned from the position in November. Also at the meeting, mayor David Krutzfeldt signed a proclamation recognizing April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. The next regular meeting for the Oskaloosa city council is scheduled for April 21.
