Reinbeck council to place $4 million fire-station bond referendum on November ballot
Summary
After the fire department said it had invested about $200,000, the council voted unanimously to put a $4 million bond referendum for a new fire station on the November 2026 ballot; if passed, the department plans to pursue grants and fundraising for remaining costs.
Members of the Reinbeck Fire Department told the council they have invested approximately $200,000 so far toward a new fire station and asked the city to bond $4 million for the project and place the measure on the November 2026 ballot. Councilmember Pease moved to issue a $4 million bond referendum in November 2026; Councilmember Johnson seconded. A roll call vote recorded Wambold, Pease, Johnson, Trepp and Bueghly as "aye."
The minutes state that if the referendum passes the department would pursue grants and fundraising to cover remaining costs. The action taken was to place the bond question on the November ballot; no final funding plan or bond terms were adopted at the April 6 meeting.
The minutes do not identify the fire-department speaker by name in the record and do not specify a project timeline beyond seeking the November referendum.
