Reinbeck council moves forward with capital improvement levy effort; consultant to assist
Summary
Council voted unanimously to proceed with a proposed capital improvement levy (estimated at $0.675 per $1,000 of taxable value, about $50,000 a year if approved) and to hire Patrick Callahan as a coach to help prepare a Capital Improvement Plan and supporting materials for voter consideration.
The council discussed a potential capital improvement levy on March 2 and voted to proceed with planning. Mayor Jamie Eiffler described the levy as an option to raise revenue for city capital improvements; if approved by voters it would add $0.675 per $1,000 of taxable valuation and was estimated to generate roughly $50,000 annually until repealed.
Councilmember Bueghly moved to proceed with the capital improvement levy effort and to retain consultant Patrick Callahan as a coach to assist in developing the Capital Improvement Plan; the motion passed on a 5-0 vote. The council did not set a referendum date at the meeting and asked staff to begin planning.
