(Atlantic, Iowa) –  The City Council in Atlantic will hold a scheduled Work Session Wednesday, beginning at 5-pm inside the Council’s Chambers at City Hall. City Administrator John Lund says the majority of the meeting will be his presentation on the priorities of 2026 legislative session, and Atlantic’s recommended response, along with the FY 2027 Budget process (as guided by the Legislature, the Governor, and Iowans for Tax Relief).

Additional topics to be brought-up by Lund, include capital projects in need of debt financing, and the proposed 2026 bond and how it will be financed without raising property taxes in total dollars, as opposed to a fixed levy rate that quietly collects more as property values increase.

Lund said in his pre-meeting notes, he was working with the City’s bond broker on the borrowing structure and the debts refinanced that make all the processes work.
