Reinbeck council approves consent agenda and bills; minutes show discrepancies in listed totals
Summary
The Reinbeck City Council approved a consent agenda including minutes and bills; the minutes contain inconsistent figures for total bills ($39,397.22 in one place, $49,973.23 in the itemized claims list) and provide a fund-by-fund breakdown for the larger total.
The Reinbeck City Council approved the consent agenda at its April 29 meeting, which the minutes state included minutes from the April 20 special budget hearing and bills to be paid. The minutes record that Wambold moved to approve the consent agenda and Johnson seconded; the motion passed 4-0.
The minutes contain two different totals for bills. Early in the minutes the consent agenda is described as consisting of bills "to be paid in the amount of $39,397.22." The later itemized claims list across SEG 005–SEG 008 shows an itemized claims total of $49,973.23 and provides a fund-by-fund breakdown: General Fund $25,155.53; Road Use Tax Fund $12,025.32; Street Project Fund $8,408.00; Water Fund $2,071.10; Sewer Fund $2,261.64; plus smaller funds. Major line items in the claims list include Iowa Flatworks Concrete ($19,000.00), Pavement Doctor ($9,740.00), Snyder & Associates ($8,408.00) and Wellmark BCBS ($4,982.30).
The minutes do not explain the difference between the two totals. The council record also instructs staff actions elsewhere in the meeting (e.g., checking Valley Drive dips and removing damaged benches), but no further financial clarifications appear in the minutes. The inconsistency in totals is recorded here as part of the meeting minutes and should be resolved in the council’s official approved minutes or by follow-up with the city clerk.
