Applications for 2019 summer employment with the Oglesby Parks and Recreation Department and the Oglesby Municipal Pool are now available at the Oglesby City Clerk’s office and online on the Seasonal Employment Opportunities page.

Oglesby’s municipal swimming pool opens (weather permitting) around Memorial Day and closes in mid-August. The pool is open seven days a week, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and is available for rent after hours for pool parties. The Parks and Recreation department also offers swimming lessons. The grounds surrounding the pool are also home to Oglesby’s Summer Fun Fest, which is held Father’s Day weekend each year.

News and Event

Our electric department was able to make some modifications in our
substation to rectify the ongoing “flickering” problem that has
plagued the city in the past. In preparation for our Phoenix
substation upgrade Oglesby needed to move the current transformer to a
new location to make room for our transformer that we ordered 8 months
ago. It arrives very soon. Late January 13th the current transformer
disconnection was completed and on 14 January it was moved via crane
to the new location. City workers are currently working to reconnect
the transformer not only before the new transformer arrives but
quickly to rectify the “flickering” problem. This information was
released at the Jan 6th council meeting but, not many were in
attendance. The reconnection will be completed no later than 20 Jan
but, hopefully sooner.

Very Respectfully,
