Reinbeck council approves $4 million bond referendum for new fire station
Summary
The Reinbeck City Council voted 5-0 to place a $4 million bond referendum for a new fire station on the November 2026 ballot after a fire department representative said the department had invested about $200,000 to date and would pursue grants and fundraising if voters approve.
The Reinbeck City Council voted unanimously April 6 to place a $4 million bond referendum for a new fire station on the November 2026 ballot.
A fire department representative told the council the department has invested approximately $200,000 so far and requested the city put the bond referendum on the ballot; the representative said the department would pursue grants and fundraising to cover any remaining costs if voters approve the bond. Councilmember Pease moved to place the referendum on the November 2026 ballot; Councilmember Johnson seconded. The motion passed on a roll call vote: Wambold — aye, Pease — aye, Johnson — aye, Trepp — aye, Bueghly — aye.
The minutes record the request and the council’s formal action to place the measure on the ballot; the minutes do not record a detailed financing plan or a projected tax impact. The next procedural step is the November 2026 election, when Reinbeck voters will decide whether to authorize the bond.
