Pella council delays third reading of urban renewal tax ordinance until Nov. 3
Summary
The City Council voted 6–0 to delay the third reading of Ordinance No. 1090, which would direct property taxes from the Imagine More Community Urban Renewal Area into a special fund for debt service, until the Nov. 3 meeting.
The Pella City Council moved to delay consideration of the third reading of Ordinance No. 1090, titled to direct property taxes within the Imagine More Community Urban Renewal Area to a special fund for payment of loans and bonds. John Butler moved to delay and Harold Van Stryland seconded; the motion to postpone consideration until Nov. 3, 2026 passed on a 6–0 roll call.

The delay schedules the ordinance for further review at the Nov. 3 Council meeting.
