The Reinbeck City Council advanced two proposed ordinances that would replace the city's water and garbage/recycling service rates, scheduling a third reading for July 6.
Mayor Jamie Eiffler introduced Ordinance #2026-06OR (repealing current water-service rates, Section 92.02) and Ordinance #2026-07OR (repealing current garbage and recycling services, Section 106.08). Councilmember Johnson moved to give the ordinances their second consideration and to adopt the second reading; Councilmember Bueghly seconded. A roll-call vote recorded Wambold, Pease, Johnson, Trepp and Bueghly as voting aye on the second reading; the motion carried.
Councilmember Bueghly then moved to set the third reading for July 6, 2026; Pease seconded and the motion carried. The minutes do not include the specific new rates; the ordinances were introduced and the council recorded the procedural actions necessary for further readings.
If the council adopts the third reading and the ordinances are signed as required by city code, the new utility rates will take effect on the schedule indicated in the final ordinances. The city clerk is responsible for publishing notice of the third reading and any required public hearings.
