Anamosa council reviews proposed FY26 budget; hears presentations from city departments

The City Council of the City of Anamosa met in a Feb. 3 work session at Anamosa City Hall Council Chambers where members reviewed the proposed fiscal year 2026 budget and discussed how to allocate the city’s Hotel/Motel Grant Funds. Mayor Rod Smith called the meeting to order at 6:01 P.M., and a quorum of council members was present.

Council heard budget presentations from City Hall, the Anamosa Library & Learning Center and the Anamosa Parks & Recreation Department. The transcript states that the council “heard budget presentations” from those departments but does not identify individual presenters or list specific line-item amounts in the record.

The session was part of the city’s FY26 budget review process; the transcript records deliberation and department briefings but shows that the council took no formal votes or motions at the Feb. 3 meeting. According to the meeting record, the work session concluded and was adjourned at 9:54 P.M.

Meeting attendance was recorded in the statement of proceedings: Mayor Rod Smith presided, and Council Members Rich Crump, Kay Smith, Teresa Tuetken, Todd Weimer, Dan Smith and Brooke Gombert were present. Jeremiah Hoyt is listed as City Administrator and Jeana Less‑David as City Clerk in the meeting record.

No funding decisions, motion text, vote tallies, or follow-up assignments appear in the transcript. The record indicates the presentations were informational and that budget deliberations will continue in subsequent meetings or budget sessions, though no specific next date or procedural step is listed in this transcript.
