Reinbeck council sets RAGBRAI vendor fees, approves street closings and raises golf-cart permit fee
Summary
Council approved vendor fees and several street-closing requests tied to RAGBRAI and other community events, approved a process to add fines to the golf-cart ordinance and raised golf-cart permit fees to $50; the council also approved attendance at the Iowa League of Cities conference.
The Reinbeck City Council on June 1 took several actions to support upcoming community events and local operations, approving RAGBRAI vendor fees, multiple street closings and changes to city ordinance procedures governing golf carts.
Councilmembers Wambold and Bueghly updated the council on RAGBRAI planning, saying 13 meal vendors and other vendors are signed and volunteers remain needed. The council set a Town Hall meeting for June 15 at 6:30 p.m. at the Memorial Building. Councilmember Johnson moved to set vendor fees at $350 for food trucks, $45 for local vendors and $100 for out-of-town vendors; Trepp seconded; vote 5 ayes; motion carried.
The council approved several street-closing requests tied to community events: a July 3 Fireman’s Dance closing requested by Adam Carley, a Lions Club Movie Night closing for June 6, and a library program closing on July 9. Each closing was approved by unanimous vote.
On local regulations, the council directed staff to begin changing the Golf Cart Ordinance to add a fines section and to raise golf-cart permit fees to $50 after a motion by Johnson that passed unanimously. The minutes do not include draft fine language or the effective date for the higher permit fee; council indicated the ordinance process will begin.
Other operational items noted by the council included scheduling RAGBRAI street closings on next month’s agenda, the start of mosquito spraying, trimming low-hanging branches on routes where campers will be staged, and adding rock to an alley between Center and Park to accommodate increased traffic from the Center Street construction project.
The council also approved sending the clerk and any interested councilmembers to the Iowa League of Cities Annual Conference in Bettendorf on Sept. 23–25, 2026.
