City Council Meeting - 04/06/26 5:30 pm

The City Council of Marshalltown held a meeting on April 6, 2026, where they discussed a petition for annexation of a property at 2346 Odessa Drive. The property owners sought to connect to city water services but preferred not to annex into the city. Council members reviewed the implications of annexation, including fire protection and sewer service, and ultimately voted down the motion to annex the property at this time. The meeting also included a detailed review of the city's FY27 budget proposal and FY26 budget amendment. Discussions covered revenue sources, expenditures, capital improvement plans, and debt service, including the use of local option sales tax and bond funds. The council reviewed budget adjustments related to public safety, culture and recreation, and other city services, with plans to set a public hearing for the budget at the next meeting. No contract awards or vendor selections were made during this session.
