Reinbeck council approves placing $4 million fire station bond referendum on November ballot
Summary
After a request from the local fire department, the Reinbeck City Council voted unanimously to place a $4 million bond referendum for a new fire station on the November 2026 ballot; the department has already invested about $200,000 and plans to pursue grants and fundraising if voters approve.
The Reinbeck City Council voted April 6 to place a $4 million bond referendum on the November 2026 ballot to fund construction of a new fire station. Councilmember Pease moved to issue the referendum, Johnson seconded, and a roll-call vote recorded Wambold, Pease, Johnson, Trepp and Bueghly voting aye.
Representatives of the fire department told the council they have invested approximately $200,000 in the project to date and asked the city to bond for $4 million; if voters approve the bond, the department said it will pursue grants and additional fundraising to cover remaining costs. Council members discussed the request before voting to place the measure on the ballot.
The action is limited to placing a referendum on the ballot; final project design, grant applications and fundraising timelines were not specified in the minutes.
