Oskaloosa council appoints Randy DeGeese as interim city manager at $200/hour
Summary
Council approved appointing Randy DeGeese as interim city manager effective Dec. 17, 2024, at $200 per hour with a minimum 10-hour week; councilmembers praised the pick and approved the motion by roll call.
The Oskaloosa City Council voted to appoint Randy DeGeese as interim city manager effective December 17, 2024. The appointment sets compensation at $200 per hour with a minimum of 10 hours per week plus meeting attendance; the appointment will continue until the city hires a full-time city manager or the council ends the interim post.
City staff recommended the appointment and the council moved and seconded the action. Councilmembers who spoke in support noted the need for continuity and transitional leadership while the city completes a search for a permanent manager. "I think Randy's gonna do great," one councilmember said during the discussion.
Council members asked whether a maximum number of hours had been set; no maximum was specified in the discussion, and the staff recommendation did not set a cap. The council approved the motion by roll call.
Next steps: the interim manager will commence work as described and the council will continue recruitment for a permanent city manager; council members were asked to provide timely input to the recruitment firm to keep the process moving.
