Council sets bid schedule for Center Street reconstruction, declines early water-bond payoff and moves on nuisance abatement
Summary
Reinbeck’s council set a March 26 bid opening and an April 6 public hearing for the Center Street water-main and street reconstruction project, voted to leave the water bond on its current schedule rather than prepaying it, and referred a vacant property at 506 Broad Street to the city attorney for nuisance-abatement proceedings.
The Reinbeck City Council on March 2 set a March 26 bid opening and an April 6 public hearing for the Center Street water-main and street reconstruction project, which covers the block between Cedar Street and School Street and includes lowering water mains, replacing curb and gutter, installing storm sewer intakes and resurfacing with asphalt.
Councilmember Wambold moved to approve Resolution #2026-08R to set the plans, specifications, form of contract and estimate of cost and to schedule a bid opening for March 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. with an April 6 public hearing at 5:30 p.m.; Councilmember Trepp seconded and the resolution passed by roll call vote.
On debt management, Councilmember Pease moved, with a second from Councilmember Wambold, that the city not pay off the water bond early and instead pay it according to the existing schedule; the motion carried 5–0.
The council also addressed a property at 506 Broad Street: because Finally Home did not return a requested Quick Claim Deed, Councilmember Johnson moved to turn the matter over to the city attorney to proceed with nuisance-abatement proceedings; Councilmember Bueghly seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Council approved sending City Clerk Julie Wilkerson to the IMFOA Spring Meeting April 15–17, 2026, and heard that downtown business-workshop outreach had been successful. The council also recorded consent-agenda finance information, including line items for utilities, pool expenses and sewer-line cleaning in the packet.
