Reinbeck council votes unanimously to place $4 million fire station bond referendum on November ballot
Summary
Reinbeck city council voted 5-0 to place a $4 million bond referendum for a new fire station on the November 2026 ballot after hearing that the department has invested roughly $200,000 to date; if passed, the department plans to pursue grants and fundraising to cover remaining costs.
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.
Council member Pease moved to place the referendum on the ballot; Council member Johnson seconded the motion. The council recorded a roll call of five ayes. Fire department representatives told the council the department has invested about $200,000 in the project so far and intends to write grants and fundraise to cover any shortfall if voters approve the bond.
The action directs city staff to place the bond question on the November election ballot; no timetable for construction, bond terms or detailed project scope was specified in the meeting minutes. The council took the decision after discussion but the minutes do not include additional public testimony or detailed budget estimates for the project.
Next steps: placement of the referendum on the November ballot and any subsequent campaign, grant applications and fund-raising would depend on voter approval and later council or staff actions.
