The City of Oskaloosa is celebrating City Week Iowa October 6 – 10, 2014. City government is the government closest to most citizens and the one with the most direct daily impact upon its residents. With that in mind, municipal officials feel a responsibility to pass along their understanding of public services and their benefits.

“Our goal here at the City of Oskaloosa is to promote all of the great things we are doing this year to make Oskaloosa a better place. The City of Oskaloosa along with local governments across the state are always working hard to improve the lives of their residents.” said Michael Schrock Jr. City Manager.

Events planned for the week include: An Open house on October 7, 8, and 9 from 11:00 to 1:00. The open house will feature information about the upcoming budget process, facts and updates about the city, and a model of the proposed fire station. Residents can take time to visit with staff to learn more about the functions of local government and can request a tour of City Hall along with the Fire Station.

Cities across Iowa will be celebrating City Week Iowa, sponsored by the Iowa League of Cities, to showcase and celebrate cities and the many services they provide. “City week is part of an ongoing effort to help promote good government and to help our members showcase the important role cities play in the lives of Iowans,” said League Executive Director Alan Kemp.

The Iowa League of Cities is the oldest, continuously operating municipal league in the country. Founded in 1898, the League is a not-for-profit organization that advocates for issues affecting cities throughout Iowa. The League provides wide-ranging services for cities including research, workshops, reports, publications, pooled investments, and risk management. Oskaloosa, Iowa is a member of the Iowa League of Cities.
