Reinbeck council closes property tax levy hearing after administrator details levy figures
Summary
At a special April 6 meeting the Reinbeck City Council heard a presentation from City Administrator Julie Wilkerson on three levy-rate figures: current certified $12.10487, hypothetical unchanged-budget $11.87046, and the proposed levy $12.10245 due to higher wages, benefits and insurance; no public comments were received.
The Reinbeck City Council held a special property tax levy hearing on April 6, 2026, opening the meeting at 5:00 p.m. Mayor Jamie Eiffler presided; Councilmembers Wambold, Johnson, Trepp and Bueghly were present and Councilmember Pease was absent.
City Administrator Julie Wilkerson told the council the current certified property tax levy rate is $12.10487. Wilkerson said that, if the city kept the same budget for the next fiscal year, the levy rate would be $11.87046, but because of increases in employee wages, benefits and insurance the levy rate will be $12.10245 for the coming year.
