Reading council declares second reading for $27 million bond; councilor cites public-safety facility needs
Summary
Council read a resolution to proceed with a $27 million bond (second reading). Council member Thamann emphasized the need to prioritize larger fire and police facilities to keep the city safe.
During the legislative session the council read a resolution "determining to proceed with bond issue and tax levy in excess of the ten-mill limitation" for up to $27,000,000; the reading was declared a second reading only. Council member Thamann urged fellow members to consider public-safety needs, saying the fire and police departments have outgrown their current spaces and deserve focus in the proposed package.
The resolution was not adopted at the meeting; council discussed the option of placing the measure on an upcoming ballot and agreed to use the February–April window to review details and collect additional information. The meeting adjourned after a motion by Council member Bob Boehner, seconded by Council member Shelly Kroeger; the motion carried by voice vote.
