City of Waukee City Council Packet Summary — 2026-07-13
Meeting: City Council Work Session
Scheduled time: 5:30 p.m.
Location: Waukee City Hall, 230 W. Hickman Rd., Waukee, Iowa
The Waukee City Council is scheduled to hold a work session focused on emergency planning, state and local policy issues, and the City's strategic planning work. The agenda lists four work-session topics, followed by council liaison reports and comments.
Key Items on the Agenda
Emergency Management Plans for Major Events
The Council is scheduled to review emergency management plans for major events. The agenda identifies emergency planning as a work-session topic but does not provide additional details about specific events, proposed plan changes, costs, or actions the Council may be asked to consider.
Property Tax Legislation Overview
As part of the City's strategic planning work, the agenda includes a property tax legislation overview. The packet text does not specify particular legislation, projected financial effects, proposed tax rates, or a requested Council action, so the agenda supports describing this as a review rather than a decision item.
2026 Legislative Report
The Council is also scheduled to receive a 2026 legislative report. No additional information about individual bills, legislative outcomes, City positions, or recommended actions is included in the packet text.
Technology Master Plan Update and Governance
A second strategic-plan item concerns an update on the Technology Master Plan and governance. The agenda does not identify specific technology projects, governance changes, implementation schedules, expenditures, or proposed Council action.
Other Agenda Business
The meeting is scheduled to begin with the customary call to order, roll call, and agenda approval. After the four work-session topics, the agenda provides for Council liaison reports, comments, and adjournment.
Public Participation
The agenda provides both in-person and electronic participation options. Members of the public may attend in the Council Chambers at Waukee City Hall or participate electronically through Zoom or by telephone. The agenda notes that the meeting format may change under certain circumstances and directs questions about the format to the City Clerk's office.
The City also states that accommodations are available for individuals or groups with disabilities. Requests for special accommodations are directed to the Clerk's office no later than 8:00 a.m. on the day of the meeting.
What to Watch at the Meeting
The work session brings together four distinct subjects rather than presenting a list of proposed ordinances, contracts, or other formal action items. Key points to watch are what emergency-management issues are identified for major events, what implications are presented in the property-tax legislation overview and 2026 legislative report, and what changes or next steps emerge from the Technology Master Plan and governance update. The packet text itself does not state anticipated decisions or recommendations on these four topics.
