Two city councils in our area have their final regular meetings of the year lined up for tonight.

The Oskaloosa City Council will meet to hold a public hearing on an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget, which includes the addition of $600,000 in expenses for a new pump truck for the Oskaloosa Fire Department.  They’ll also consider a resolution amending the contract for the Wastewater Facility Plan Long-Term Improvement Project for pre-design of the Wastewater Treatment Facility and conduct the 2nd readings for ordinances instituting no-parking restrictions on sections of North B Street and South B Street.

The Knoxville City Council will meet tonight to receive a Year in Review presentation from the Knoxville Chamber, consider a resolution approving preliminary plans and specifications for the 2022 Veterans Park Project, and discuss the possible approval for the Knoxville Fair Board/Raceway team and Knoxville Community School District to use portions of the Veterans District, for which a concept plan will be presented.
