Who should collect tax levies for Mahaska County’s emergency management—cities like Oskaloosa and New Sharon, or Mahaska County?  That’s a question that will apparently be decided in the courts.  You’ll remember at the Oskaloosa City Council’s July 20 meeting, Mayor David Krutzfeldt criticized the County’s view that cities should collect the money for the County’s emergency management….saying the City would have to make several large cuts in order to come up with the money.  Attorneys for the Mahaska County Board have sent a letter to attorneys for Mahaska County Emergency Management saying the County Board will agree to drop its request for an injunction and allow the levy to be collected if the 911 Service Board and Mahaska County Emergency Management Commission agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the County against any action to recovered funds illegally levied under the Service Board and Emergency Management Commission’s 28E agreements.
