Council signs off on RAGBRAI plans, allows FirstNet towers if free to city
Summary
Reinbeck council heard RAGBRAI updates — vendors arriving July 22 and port-a-potties set — and approved temporary FirstNet cellular towers at Heartland Co‑op if there is no cost to the city.
Councilmembers Wambold and Elisabeth Bueghly updated the council on RAGBRAI preparations, reporting about 40–50 participants at a town-hall event and that vendors will begin arriving July 22; port-a-potties will be set up that day. Businesses notified about evening street closings indicated they were OK with the plan.
FirstNet Cellular requested permission to set up temporary cellular towers at Heartland Co‑op two days prior to RAGBRAI. Council member Trepp moved to allow the temporary towers provided there is no charge to the city; Council member Tim Johnson seconded. The motion carried unanimously. The council also discussed vendor arrival logistics for the event.
The council’s approval was conditional on no cost to the city; the minutes do not record a site agreement or further technical or permitting details.
