Reinbeck council resets FY2027 budget hearing after local paper's publication change
Summary
The Reinbeck City Council voted 4–0 on April 20 to move its FY2027 budget public hearing to April 29 at 5:00 p.m. after the local newspaper changed its publication day and the city failed to meet the four-day notice requirement.
The Reinbeck City Council voted April 20 to reset the fiscal year 2027 budget public hearing to April 29, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. after the city did not meet the required four-day notice deadline.
According to the meeting minutes, the Grundy Register was sold and the new publisher shifted the paper’s publication day from Thursday to Friday, which left the city short of the statutory notice window. Council member Bueghly moved to reset the hearing; Council member Pease seconded the motion, and the council approved it on a 4–0 vote (Council members Wambold, Pease, Johnson and Bueghly voting; Trepp absent).
City Administrator Julie Wilkerson was listed among those present. The reschedule restores the city’s opportunity to hold the public hearing with the required notice period.
The council’s action is procedural: it resets the public meeting date to comply with notice requirements and does not change the budget itself. The hearing is scheduled for April 29 at 5:00 p.m. in the Reinbeck council chambers.
