Reinbeck council votes to hold September special election for CIP levy
Summary
Because the council recorded that an even-year November ballot cannot include the CIP levy, Reinbeck council voted unanimously to hold a special election in September to let voters decide a CIP levy measure.
The Reinbeck City Council voted on April 29 to hold a special election in September to let voters decide on a capital improvement plan (CIP) levy, after the mayor advised the council that a CIP levy cannot appear on the November ballot in an even-numbered year.
Councilmember Johnson moved to have the city hold a special election in September for the CIP levy vote; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Bueghly and passed unanimously (4 ayes). The minutes present the scheduling decision as a council direction; no ballot language or levy rate for the proposed CIP levy was included in the record.
The motion authorizes staff to proceed with scheduling and procedural steps for a special election; the minutes do not specify an exact September date, the proposed levy amount, or the county election timeline that would determine precise deadlines.
