Whittemore Iowa

Mayor and City Council

A message from the Mayor:

On behalf of your neighbors, elected and appointed officials, welcome to the City of Whittemore.
We recognize that moving to a new community often causes a sense of upheaval, but let us assure you that you will soon grow to enjoy Whittemore for its unique blend of small-town hospitality and big-city amenities.
One of the great strengths of Whittemore is its tradition of citizen participation. We hope that you will continue this tradition by becoming involved with one of the City's many boards, commissions or other civic or church activities. Please feel free to contact City Hall at 515-884-2265 if you wish to volunteer for City endorsed activities within the community.
Finally, as a new resident of Whittemore, you become a shareholder in the City. We welcome your ideas on how we can make the community a better place for our families, and hope that you will call us with your suggestions and comments.
We hope you come to enjoy the community as much as we do. If there is anything that we can do to facilitate the transition to your new home, or make your living in Whittemore more pleasant, please let us know.
