A regular meeting of the City Council of Vinton, Iowa was held on the 27th day of March 2025 in City Hall Council Chambers at 6:30pm. Mayor Maynard presided with the following Council members present: Elwick, Hessenius, Parmater, Pflughaupt, Recker & Stark-Mahood.
Motion by Pflughaupt, seconded by Parmater to approve the agenda as presented. Question: Ayes – all. Motion carried.
Mayor Maynard opened the public hearing for the proposed property tax levy for FY26. The proposed levy rate is $15.686. The current rate is $15.685. Several residents were present to ask questions about the notice received in the mail. Despite the notice indicating an increase, the City’s levy rate is not changing. The notice, written and required to be sent by the State of Iowa, shows an increase in assessed value on properties which the City does not control. The notice is meant to be an example. After no further discussion, Maynard closed the public hearing at 6:50pm.
With no other items on the agenda, motion by Parmater to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Pflughaupt. Question: Ayes – all. Motion carried. Time: 6:50pm.
