Second Consideration: Ordinance for Case ORD25-02 being the request of the City of Davenport
to amend Title 17 entitled "Zoning" of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa regarding solar
farms as a principal use and freestanding solar panels as an accessory use. [All Wards]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.
Background:
Solar Moratorium
On May 7, 2025, Resolution No. 2025-197 placed a moratorium on solar farms and accessory
freestanding solar to provide time for staff to evaluate current regulations and propose revisions
where necessary. The moratorium was spurred by a non-conforming accessory freestanding
solar system installed in a resident’s front yard. Additionally, staff asked for the moratorium
after fielding questions about large-scale solar farms and recent Iowa State legislative hearings
about solar farms. The proposed amendment brings code to meet solar industry terms and
prepare a more compressive approach to regulating solar systems.
Plan and Zoning Commission
At its October 14, 2025, meeting, the Plan and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended
Case ORD25-02 be forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation for approval subject
to the proposed amendments and findings.
Findings
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and adopted land
use policies.
2. The proposed amendment promotes the public health, safety, and welfare of the City.
3. The proposed amendment is consistent with the intent and general regulations of the
Zoning Ordinance.
4. The amendment reflects a change in policy and development trends.
5. The amendment may create minor nonconformities.
Project History
• September 2, 2025: Background materials and industry trends were presented with a
draft ordinance amendment at the Plan & Zoning Commission Public Hearing.
• September 16, 2025: The Plan & Zoning Commission held additional discussion on the
draft ordinance amendment.
• September 30, 2025: Staff presented the draft ordinance amendment to City Council at
the Management Update meeting. Several concerns were raised about solar as a
principal use in residential and commercial districts. Immediately following the meeting,
the Plan & Zoning Commission reviewed the draft ordinance amendments, and tabled
the item to allow Staff additional time to make revisions based on the feedback received
by Council.
• October 14, 2025: Based on Commission and City Council feedback, the following
amendments were presented during the Plan and Zoning Commission meeting:
o Removed the principal use of community-scale solar.
o Updated use matrix to remove community-scale solar as a principal use category.
o Refined accessory solar language in Building Mounted Systems to address the
height allowed for solar on flat-roofed buildings.
Approval Standards for Text Amendments
1. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the Comprehensive Plan and any
adopted land use policies.
2. The extent to which the proposed amendment promotes the public health, safety, and
welfare of the City.
3. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the intent and general regulations of
this Ordinance.
4. Whether the proposed amendment corrects an error or omission, adds clarification to
existing requirements, or reflects a change in policy or change in development trends or

Industry Comments on Proposed Solar Ordinances
My name is Ryan Kopf and I am a Davenport resident, I live on Brady Street. I am writing to you
to provide comments on upcoming proposed solar power ordinances.
As both a local resident and the owner of Iowa Solar, I strongly encourage the council to adopt
rules that expand, rather than restrict, the opportunities for Davenport families and businesses
to access clean energy.
Free-standing solar arrays, when done responsibly, can be an important tool for homeowners
who may not have ideal roof conditions, yet still desire clean energy. Limiting them to backyards
only, or tying them strictly to building footprints, could make solar impossible for many residents
whose homes face the wrong direction, are shaded by trees, or simply lack the roof space to
support a sufficient system.
Benefits of Solar
Before we get into ordinance specifics, I would like to highlight some of the key benefits of solar
power:
● Solar improves grid stability, especially during summer peaks when air conditioning
drives demand. It helps reduce strain and lowers the risk of outages.
● Solar provides real savings for families, lowering monthly electric bills and protecting
against utility rate hikes.
● Solar is silent and clean—it produces no noise, no smell, and no pollution. Panels
generate power passively for decades with minimal maintenance, without disturbing
neighbors.
Addressing Common Misconceptions
There are also some misconceptions about solar that deserve clarification:
● “Solar owners get the grid for free.” In reality, all solar customers pay a monthly service
fee (around $30 with MidAmerican) to remain connected, contributing directly to
maintaining electric lines and infrastructure.
● “Solar only benefits wealthy homeowners.” In truth, distributed solar reduces strain on
the grid for everyone and improves reliability during peak hours, creating
community-wide benefits.
● “Solar hurts property values.” Panels are silent, emission-free, and unobtrusive. In many
communities, visible solar has actually improved neighborhood appeal by signaling
sustainability and forward progress.
Community-Scale Solar
Davenport also has a chance to lead in community-scale solar. Projects over parking lots,
neighborhood gardens, or unused parcels of land make renewable energy accessible to renters,
lower-income households, and those who cannot install solar themselves. These projects build
resilience, reduce costs, and keep energy dollars circulating locally rather than leaving the
community.
Recommendations for the Ordinance
● A 10-foot height limit is reasonable; there is no practical need for taller systems in
residential settings. Even 9.5 ft would be reasonable.
● Comments have been made suggesting that solar should go over parking lots. Including
an exception to this height limit for parking lot solar may be wise.
● Instead of restricting arrays to “backyards,” which can be difficult to define, consider a
10–20 foot setback from the street as a fairer and more flexible guideline.
● Low-to-the-ground solar systems (under 3.5 feet) are highly efficient and unobtrusive.
These pair well with landscaping or gardens and can actually improve curb appeal. We
recommend an exemption for these small-scale, low-profile systems. Example:
Low-profile solar array - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoENU_3W2Ks
● It's unreasonable to set solar array size based on the home size without also factoring in
lot size. If a small home sits on a quarter-acre, there's no sense in not factoring in lot
size to the requirement. Especially if people are trying to build tiny-but-fully-efficient
homes. People should be allowed the right to power small homes fully with solar, and a
home-size-ratio-restriction does not make that possible.
Suggested ordinance language might read:
“Residential free-standing solar arrays shall not exceed 10 feet in height, unless part of an
engineered parking-covering structure. Arrays under 3.5 feet in height shall be permitted with no
restrictions other than standard setback requirements. Free-standing arrays over 3.5 feet shall
be permitted provided they are set back at least 10 feet from the primary street frontage.”
Economic Development
Solar is not just about sustainability—it is about jobs and investment. Every new array means
local work in installation, maintenance, and supply. Restrictive rules risk pushing investment to
neighboring communities, while supportive rules will allow Davenport to attract clean-energy
businesses, innovation, and skilled workers.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Ryan

Subject:
First Consideration: Ordinance for Case ORD25-03 being the request of Leverage Holdings LLC
to amend Chapter 17.08 entitled "Uses" of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa to allow
wholesale establishment as a permitted use in the C-3 zoning district and add principal use
standards for wholesale establishment. [All Wards]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.
Background:
At its November 4, 2025 meeting, the Plan and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended
Case ORD25-03 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval subject to the findings
and listed conditions. The conditions for the creation of principal use standards for wholesale
establishment have been incorporated into the Ordinance.
Findings
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and adopted land
use policies.
2. The proposed amendment promotes the public health, safety, and welfare of the City.
3. The proposed amendment is consistent with the intent and general regulations of the
Zoning Ordinance.
4. The amendment reflects a change in policy and development trends.
5. The amendment may create minor nonconformities.
Conditions
Create the following principal use standards for Wholesale in Section 17.08.030:
1. The principal use and any associated accessory uses shall not emit any dust, odors,
gases, or pollution and shall not emit excessive noise or vibrations.
2. The storage of aggregate materials shall be prohibited.
3. The following additional standards apply to all outdoor storage:
a. The storage area must be completely enclosed by a solid fence or wall a minimum
of six feet in height including ingress and egress.
b. Fences or walls shall meet principal use setback requirements.
c. Outdoor storage of any kind is prohibited outside the fence or wall.
Case Overview
City staff received an application for a zoning text amendment from a property owner
requesting an amendment to allow “Wholesale” as a permitted use in the C-3 General
Commercial Zoning District. The proposed zoning text amendment will impact all properties
throughout Davenport zoned C-3 General Commercial Zoning District. The Petitioner has
provided initial statements by approval standard as a supplement to the request, which can be
seen in the application document. The summary provided by the applicant is below:
As indicated, the Petitioner perceives there are various reasons that a text amendment is
needed to add wholesale use in the C-3 Districts, but the most blatant/obvious include, but are
not limited to:
1. Current commercial market conditions have changed as less big-box buildings are being
built and those that have been built now need to be retrofitted for alternative uses.
2. Wholesaling, for the most part, will lessen the intensity in these Districts, and while
truck/semi-truck traffic could slightly increase, the streets and properties in the C-3
District can easily accommodate such concerns. In essence, while wholesaling is
distinguishable from retail, in this stance, it's a distinction without a real difference.
3. Wholesaling is consistent with Davenport's current comprehensive plan and was
previously allowed in certain C-Districts under Davenport's prior zoning code, such that
to resurrect its use now leaves little to be done and allows market conditions to proceed
with redevelopment.
Zoning Ordinance Purpose Statement
The C-3 General Commercial Zoning District is intended to accommodate higher-intensity
commercial development within the City of Davenport that serves both local and regional
markets. The C-3 District addresses medium- and large-scale development that may generate
considerable traffic and typically requires significant off-street parking. Higher density
residential uses are also allowed to facilitate a mixed-use orientation where appropriate.
Zoning Ordinance Use Definition
Wholesale Establishment. A business where goods are sold to either retailers, or to
industrial, commercial, institutional, or other professional business users, or to other
wholesalers and related subordinated services.
Use Matrix (Table 17.08-1)
The principal use "Wholesale Establishment" is permitted in the following zoning districts:
1. I-1 Light Industrial District
2. I-2 Heavy Industrial District
The principal use "Wholesale Establishment" is permitted as a special use in the following
zoning districts:
1. I-MU Industrial Mixed Use District
Approval Standards for Text Amendments
1. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the Comprehensive Plan and any
adopted land use policies.
2. The extent to which the proposed amendment promotes the public health, safety, and
welfare of the City.
3. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the intent and general regulations of
this Ordinance.
4. Whether the proposed amendment corrects an error or omission, adds clarification to
existing requirements, or reflects a change in policy or change in development trends or
technology.
5. The extent to which the proposed amendment creates nonconformities.
Upon staff review, the following proposed principal use standards alleviate concerns for future
wholesale in C-3.
Proposed Principal Use Standard
1. The principal use and any associated accessory uses shall not emit any dust, odors,
gases, or pollution and shall not emit excessive noise or vibrations.
2. The storage of aggregate materials shall be prohibited.
3. The following additional standards apply to all outdoor storage:
a. The storage area must be completely enclosed by a solid fence or wall a minimum
of six feet in height including ingress and egress.
b. Fences or walls shall meet principal use setback requirements.
c. Outdoor storage of any kind is prohibited outside the fence or wall.
Public Input
A notice of Public Hearing was published in the Quad-City Times informing the community of
the October 14, 2025, Plan and Zoning Commission Public Hearing. In addition, the notice of a
Public Hearing was published in the Quad-City Times for the November 19, 2025, Public Hearing
at the Committee of the Whole. To date, staff have not received any public comments in favor
or opposition to the request. Staff will apprise Council of any correspondence.

RE: Zoning Text Amendment Standards
1. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the Comprehensive Plan and any
adopted land use policies.
Not surprisingly and by adding/permitting wholesale (which is merely selling goods and/or
services to a limited customer base as defined by Davenport’s Code) it lessens the intensity on
properties in a C-3 District (although it may increase traffic and/or semi-truck traffic which the
arterial roads in the C-3 District are very capable of handling along with the properties thereon
which, in most instances, already have load areas) such that:
A. consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and land use policies are maintained; and
B. synergy with existing development will also be maintained
Furthermore, as wholesaling was once a permitted use in certain C-Districts based on
Davenport’s prior zoning code, its reemergence will not impair and/or impact properties in the C-
3 District; rather, based on existing market conditions, it enhances development in the C-3
District.
2. The extent to which the proposed amendment promotes the public health, safety, and
welfare of the City.
While the text amendment is somewhat neutral on this issue, Petitioner submits that by allowing
wholesale use in the C-3 District, it will provide:
A. the expansion/development of big box facilities that are vacant/near vacant;
B. remove/reduce loitering/vagrancy in these affected areas; and
C. provide enrichment to the tax base
3. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the intent and general regulations of
this Ordinance.
Petitioner reemphasizes that wholesaling was once a permitted use in certain C-Districts based
on Davenport’s prior zoning code, such that in essence its truly not inconsistent with the concept
and general notion of what is or should be in a commercial district.
4. Whether the proposed amendment corrects an error or omission, adds clarification to
existing requirements, or reflects a change in policy or change in development trends or
technology.
No, although Petitioner acknowledges that market conditions have changed commercially, such
that there are less big-box stores being built and those that have been built need to be
retrofitted.
5. The extent to which the proposed amendment creates nonconformities.
Actually, by adding wholesaling, the text amendment renders those properties previously
grandfathered under the prior zoning code or currently engaging in wholesaling on an ancillary
basis to now be a conforming use once again (in fact, some existing retailers are already
engaging in wholesale activities with business customers, for example: Sam’s Club, Costco,
Best Buy, etc.)

Second Consideration: Ordinance amending Chapter 6.04 entitled “Animals” of the Municipal
Code of Davenport, Iowa to incorporate community cat recommendations from the joint task
force between the Humane Society of Scott County and the City of Davenport. [All Wards]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.
Background:
The City of Davenport contracts animal control and sheltering services to the Humane Society of
Scott County. The current service agreement charges a joint task force to evaluate any
ordinance updates or programmatic changes that contribute to a sustainable business model.
The task force consults with local government agencies, animal welfare experts, and other
municipal codes from Iowa communities.
For many years, municipalities have approached cat population control by trapping and
impounding the animals. This approach has not decreased the cat population over the past
decades of practice. Care for cats in the shelter is a significant cost driver, as overpopulation
also creates health issues that need treatment. Bringing healthy community cats into a shelter
is unnecessary and costly.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) or Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) programs are humane and
effective community-based initiatives designed to manage and reduce free-roaming and feral
cat populations. The process involves trapping cats, spaying or neutering them to prevent
reproduction, vaccinating to promote health, ear-tipping for identification, and then returning
the cats to their original outdoor environment. These programs reduce behaviors associated
with mating such as yowling, fighting, and spraying, and over time, reduce the overall
population by preventing litters of unowned kittens. TNR programs address the root cause of
cat overpopulation and save taxpayer dollars by decreasing shelter intake and reducing the
need for animal control interventions. As an added benefit, communities with TNR programs
can attract grants and/or private funding.
An overview of the proposed recommendation was presented at the November 4, 2025,
Management Update meeting. A community education session is planned for November 18,
2025; event details to follow.
The proposed changes, shown in the attached red-lined document, include:
▪ 6.04.010 | Updates and additions to definitions: caretaker, community cat, owner, and
Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR)
▪ 6.04.020 | Update to licenses required for owned dogs and cats
▪ 6.04.040 | Add exceptions for community cats
▪ 6.04.060 | Adds an exception for community cats
▪ 6.04.065 | Adds a new section to outline community cat requirements
▪ 6.04.080 | Minor update to direct to nuisance process
▪ 6.04.090 | Adds an exception for community cats
▪ 6.04.100 | Adds an exception for community cats
▪ 6.04.130 | Replaces barking dog regulations with animal noise regulations
▪ 6.04.140 | Adds an exception for community cats
▪ 6.04.160 | Minor update for clarity

is hereby amended to read as follows:
A. Every owned dog and cat shall be licensed. Dogs and cats shall be licensed within 30

Section 8. That Chapter 6.04 entitled “Animals” of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa be and
the same is hereby amended to add a new Section 6.04.065 as follows:
6.04.065 Community Cats
A. The purpose of this section is to protect residents of the city against the hazards
brought about by a feral cat population and to provide a safe and humane process by
which health and safety hazards can be reduced through the use of Trap-Neuter-Return
(TNR) practices to reduce and/or manage the cat population within city limits.
B. Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) will permit the City of Davenport or a designee to engage in
the trapping of community cats for the purpose of sterilization, vaccination, ear-tipping
for easy identification, and to provide other necessary medical care for community cats.
The City of Davenport may work with its designee to implement and/or administer
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) practices.
C. A caretaker providing care for community cat(s) may offer certain necessities on a
regular/on-going basis, including but not limited to, food and water. Feeding stations
must be on property owned or occupied by the caretaker, must be kept in sanitary
conditions, and must prevent the attraction of wildlife. A caretaker may provide medical
care as needed or contact animal control for assistance to prevent the suffering of a
community cat. Providing food, water, or weather-appropriate shelter to a free-roaming
cat, or participating in TNR (including humane trapping, transport, surgery, recovery,
and return), does not, by itself, constitute ownership.
D. If the requirements identified in this section are met, the caretaker is exempt from
licensing, running at large, or other provisions of this chapter that apply to owned cats.
E. Community cats are prohibited from protected wildlife areas, nature preserves, or other
sensitive habitats or areas where cats may present a risk. Community cats shall not be
released near these areas and may be impounded if found near one of these areas.
F. Community cat caregivers may reclaim impounded community cats without proof of
ownership for the purpose of carrying out Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and/or returning
ear-tipped community cats to their original locations.
G. A cat meeting the requirements of a community cat as defined by this chapter shall be
released on the site where it was trapped or within a mile radius of the site where it
was trapped. An ear-tipped cat received by animal control will be returned to the
location trapped unless veterinary care is required, unless the property owner requests
the cat not be returned, or unless animal control is aware of unsafe conditions.
H. A community cat that causes damage, interferes with a property, creates a nuisance,
or creates a health hazard may be abated under the general abatement provisions of
the Davenport Municipal Code.
I. The City of Davenport or its designee shall have no liability for the disposition of any
community cat.
J. No person shall trap or capture any cat and remove or release it to another location
within or outside the city limits. Relocation of cats is prohibited unless expressly
authorized by animal control.
Section 9. That Section 6.04.080 of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa be and the same is
hereby amended as follows:
6.04.080 Removal of excrement.
A. An owner or custodian of any animal shall keep all structures, pens, coops, or yards
wherein an animal is confined clean and free from excrement and the odor arising from
excrement. Such area shall also be clean and free of vermin and anything that is likely
to become putrid, offensive, or injurious to health. An area, structure, pen, coop, or
yard not maintained in a clean and sanitary condition may be declared a public nuisance
subject to the process outlined in 6.04.160.
Section 10. That Section 6.04.090 of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa be and the same is
hereby amended as follows:
6.04.090 Number of animals regulated.
D. Community cats shall not be counted toward the number of animals.
Section 11. That Subsection 6.04.100(A) of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa be and the
same is hereby amended as follows:
9. Community cats are not wild animals herein.
Section 12. That Section 6.04.130 of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa be repealed and replaced
to read as follows:
6.04.130 Animal noise regulations
A. A person shall not keep, harbor, feed, or knowingly allow any animal to emit vocalizations
plainly audible beyond the property line in a manner that meets one of the following objective
thresholds:
a. Nighttime (10:00 p.m.–7:00 a.m.): continuous vocalization for 5 minutes or longer, or
intermittent vocalization totaling 10 minutes within any 1-hour period.
b. Daytime (7:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m.): continuous vocalization for 10 minutes or longer, or
intermittent vocalization totaling 30 minutes within any 24-hour period.
B. Evidence. A violation may be established by (i) officer observation; (ii) audio/video
recordings that reasonably capture duration and audibility from the complainant’s property;
(iii) a sworn complaint by two independent witnesses, or one witness corroborated by time-
stamped recordings or an officer follow-up.
C. Defenses/exceptions. No violation occurs when the vocalization is:
a. In response to provocation, trespass, or an immediate threat;
b. Caused by emergency vehicles or alarms (≤2 minutes);
c. From permitted agricultural operations in an agricultural zone;
d. From wildlife not kept/harbored by a person.
Note: For community-cat caretakers, mere TNR feeding does not create liability unless the
caretaker’s conduct knowingly or negligently causes repeated violations under §1.
D. Responsible party. The owner, keeper, or person in control of the premises who allows
the animal to remain and create the violation is responsible.
E. Remedies. The enforcing official may issue: (i) a written warning and compliance plan; (ii)
a municipal infraction; and (iii) abatement under the Code (e.g., indoor confinement during
quiet hours, colony management conditions for community cats, or removal consistent with
humane and public-health laws).
Section 13. That Section 6.04.140 of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa be and the same is
hereby amended to read as follows:
6.04.140 Impoundment.

animal shelter and there confined in a humane manner. Community cats may be
excluded.
Section 14. That Section 6.04.160 of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa be and the same is
hereby amended to read as follows:
6.04.160 Nuisances.
B. Whenever an animal control officer or police officer determines that a nuisance under
this chapter exists, the officer may cause a written notice ordering the abatement of the
nuisance to be served upon the owner or custodian. The notice to abate shall contain a
description of what constitutes the nuisance, the location of the nuisance, a statement of
the act or acts necessary to abate the nuisance, a definite time within which the nuisance
shall be abated which time shall be reasonable under the circumstances, and a statement
that the City will abate the nuisance if the nuisance is not abated in the manner and
within the time stated and no request for a hearing is made within the time stated. Notice
to abate shall be served personally upon the owner or custodian by serving the owner
or custodian or any person residing at the residence who is at least 18 years old, or by
serving the owner or custodian by certified mail, return receipt requested. If service is by
certified mail, service shall be deemed given when mailed.
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE. If any of the provisions of this ordinance are for any reason illegal or
void, then the lawful provisions of this ordinance, which are separable from said unlawful
provisions shall be and remain in full force and effect, the same as if the ordinance contained no
illegal or void provisions.
REPEALER. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance
are hereby repealed.
EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall be in full force and effective after its final passage and
publication as by law provided.

animal in violation of this section is subject to the animal's immediate seizure as contraband. Any
animal so seized shall be held for three business days. If the owner has not petitioned the court
regarding disposition of the animal and served notice of the pendency of the owner's petition for
disposition of the animal on animal control within that time period, animal control may euthanize the
animal or permanently place it with an entity which is exempt from the provisions of this section. If
necessary, animal control may impound a wild, exotic or dangerous animal at another facility. The
animal's owner shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by animal control or the City
which arise as a result of the seizure and impoundment of a wild, exotic or dangerous animal. Under
no circumstance shall a wild, exotic or dangerous animal be returned to or placed with a nonexempt
entity within the City limits. If a wild, exotic or dangerous animal is ever again found to be within the
City in violation of this section, it shall be immediately confiscated and disposed of as animal control
deems appropriate.

allowed to keep such animals for the duration of the animal's natural life. Upon the death of a wild,
exotic or dangerous animal, the owner of such animal shall not be allowed to replace such animal
except as otherwise allowed by this section. The burden of proving the prior ownership of a wild,
exotic or dangerous animal prior to the enactment of this chapter lies with the person keeping such
wild, exotic or dangerous animal. Nothing herein shall be deemed to exclude the enforcement of
nuisance or other laws on the owner of such animals.

results in a reversal of the dangerous declaration, the animal shall be immediately released to the

seek a review by the district court, the City of Davenport or its designee shall proceed with the
disposition of the animal in accordance with the policies of the organization providing shelter services.

may be appealed through the administrative appeal procedure set forth in Section 6.04.165 of this

quarantine will be the responsibility of the City of Davenport.

suitable home or subjected to humane euthanasia. No unclaimed dog or cat shall be released for
adoption to a suitable home without being sterilized, or without a written agreement from the adopter,
secured by a cash deposit, guaranteeing that such animal will be sterilized.
G. The refusal to redeem or reclaim any impounded animal shall not relieve the owner of the duty to pay

chapter and subject to citation for the same.

law, the officer is authorized to enter such property at any reasonable time and to inspect the same and
perform any duty imposed upon the officer by this chapter or other applicable law. If the property is
occupied, the officer shall first present proper credentials to the occupant and request entry, explaining

A notice of violation initiates administrative sanction procedures for violations of this chapter, revocation
of a person's privilege to license or keep animals within the City, extension of periods of revocation,
confiscation of an animal by the City, or a declaration that an animal is dangerous. A notice of violation
shall be sent by certified mail or personally served upon an animal's owner or keeper at the request of a

the residence who is at least 18 years old, or by serving the owner or custodian by certified mail, return
receipt requested. If service is by certified mail, service shall be deemed given when mailed.

Section 2.86.020 of the City Code. If appealed, the hearing shall be scheduled and held as provided
by the procedures in Chapter 2.86 of the City Code. If no timely appeal is filed, the nuisance shall be
conclusively presumed to exist and the person who was notified to abate it shall be conclusively
presumed to be responsible for the existence of the nuisance.

abate the nuisance. If an animal is impounded, the owner or custodian of the animal shall be notified

chapter, the impoundment authority shall keep an impounded animal until such time as the animal
control officer who ordered the abatement notifies the impoundment authority that the owner or
custodian has complied with the order to abate or has abated the nuisance in some other acceptable
manner, in which case, the animal may be released to the owner or custodian upon payment of
all the costs, fees and other expenses incurred in the care of the animal have been paid. If the
impoundment authority is not notified of the owner's or custodian's compliance within three days after

caused a skin abrasion upon any person or for which the victim required medical
attention, which bite or scratch occurred within the City, shall immediately report such
fact to animal control or the Davenport Police Department. This section shall not apply
if said bite or scratch occurred while the animal was being treated, confined, or

currently inoculated for rabies and has the certification to prove such inoculation. In
such cases reporting of the bite or scratch shall be discretionary with the veterinary
hospital or clinic.
B. Any animal that has been involved in biting a person must be quarantined for 10 days
from the date of the bite. Such confinement may be at the premises of the owner if
deemed appropriate and sufficient safeguards are provided to the discretion of the
animal control officer and/ or the Scott County Health Department. If an animal is
not quarantined at the owner's premises it shall be confined at the animal shelter or
at a licensed veterinary hospital of the owner's choosing. All costs of the quarantine

section shall not apply to a bona fide zoological garden, pet shop, educational
institute, circus, carnival, or veterinary hospital treating such animals.
B. It shall be unlawful for any person to ride any animal upon the public or private
sidewalks within the City, nor shall any person ride any animal upon a public street
or right of way during the hours of sunset to sunrise, except for public parades for
which a permit has been issued by the City.
C. The lawful keeping of livestock, which is otherwise unlawful by reason of the
enactment of this chapter, may be continued upon property located within the City
provided livestock was maintained thereon prior to the enactment of this chapter,
and may be continued until such time as livestock is no longer kept or maintained
upon such property. The burden of proving the maintenance of livestock upon a
parcel of land within the City proper to the enactment of this chapter shall lie with
the person claiming such prior existence. Nothing herein shall be deemed to exempt
an owner of livestock within the City limits from the enforcement of nuisance or other
laws regarding the keeping of such livestock.
6.04.060. Animal running at large.
A. It shall be unlawful for the owner or custodian of any dog, cat, or other animal to fail
to keep the same from running at large within the City. For the purpose of this chapter
an animal shall not be deemed running at large, even if the animal is not restrained,
as long as one of the following situations applies:
1. When the animal is restrained either upon the premises of the owner or
custodian or upon another's premises with the permission of the owner of that
premises, so long as the animal is restrained in such a manner that it cannot
enter on the public streets, sidewalks, alleys, other public areas, or property not
owned by the owner, custodian, or permittee, unless the animal has been
declared dangerous or vicious, in which case the provisions of Section 6.04.110
shall apply.
2. When the animal is confined or restrained upon the premises of the owner or
custodian within a secured building, or within a secured pen, enclosure or similar
structure which has secured sides, bottom, and top such that the animal cannot
escape, or within fencing or similar means secured such that the animal cannot
escape and which is fastened by an adequate locking device.
3. When an animal is enclosed within an automobile or other vehicle of its owner
or custodian such that it cannot escape and such that said confinement does
not endanger the animal's health or well-being.
4. When the animal is being walked off the premises of its owner or custodian so
long as the animal is on a leash not more than six feet in length and under the

B. Community cats are not deemed at-large unless designated a nuisance or visibly
sick/injured; nuisance determinations follow the animal control officer’s assessment
and citizen complaints.
B.C. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, animals injured on or along public
streets or public rights-of-way shall be deemed running at large. The animal control
officer or Davenport police officer shall remove all such animals and at his or her
discretion take such an animal needing medical attention to a veterinarian or animal
shelter. The owner or custodian of such an animal shall be responsible and liable for
the expenses of medical treatment and care as well as impoundment fees and any
other penalties imposed by this chapter. Dead animals on or along public streets shall
be removed by city operations staff.
C.D. Every female dog or cat in heat shall be confined in a building or secure enclosure
during the period of heat, in such a manner as will prevent the animal from coming
into contact with the other animals unless the animal is used in a planned breeding
situation. An animal is deemed to be in heat when it is in an estrogous state or
ovulating. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit exercising the
animal provided the animal is restrained on a leash or similar restraint not more than
six feet in length and is under the control of a person competent to restrain and
control the animal or from transporting such animal within a motor vehicle.
D.E. Any dog, cat, or other animal which is found in violation of this section may be
impounded. Any such animal impounded may be redeemed by its owner or custodian
within three days from the time specified in Section 6.04.140 and upon payment of
the applicable redemption fee, current rabies vaccination fee unless current rabies
inoculation is proven, the current licensing fees and penalties if the animal is
unlicensed, impoundment fees, and the fees, costs and charges for any emergency
medical treatment administered to the animal. Redemption fees shall be set by
resolution of the City Council:
1. For a first violation
2. For a second violation
3. For a third violation
4. Fourth violation will result in the revocation of the license to keep the animal.
E.F. Any violation of this section may result in the immediate apprehension and
impoundment of the animal by an animal control officer. After the time specified in
Section 6.04.140 animal control may dispose of an unredeemed animal. If an animal
control officer is unable to apprehend an animal or impoundment is not feasible, the
animal control officer shall provide the owner or custodian of the animal with a notice
of violation under the procedures contained in Section 6.04.155.
6.04.065. Community Cats.
A. The purpose of this section is to protect residents of the city against the hazards
brought about by a feral cat population and to provide a safe and humane process
by which health and safety hazards can be reduced through the use of Trap-Neuter-
Return (TNR) practices to reduce and/or manage the cat population within city limits.
B. Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) will permit the City of Davenport or a designee to engage
in the trapping of community cats for the purpose of sterilization, vaccination, ear-
tipping for easy identification, and to provide other necessary medical care for
community cats. The City of Davenport may work with its designee to implement
and/or administer Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) practices.
C. A caretaker providing care for community cat(s) may offer certain necessities on a
regular/on-going basis, including but not limited to, food and water. Feeding stations
must be on property owned or occupied by the caretaker, must be kept in sanitary
conditions, and must prevent the attraction of wildlife. A caretaker may provide
medical care as needed or contact animal control for assistance to prevent the
suffering of a community cat. Providing food, water, or weather-appropriate shelter
to a free-roaming cat, or participating in TNR (including humane trapping, transport,
surgery, recovery, and return), does not, by itself, constitute ownership.
D. If the requirements identified in this section are met, the caretaker is exempt from
licensing, running at large, or other provisions of this chapter that apply to owned
cats.
E. Community cats are prohibited from protected wildlife areas, nature preserves, or
other sensitive habitats or areas where cats may present a risk. Community cats shall
not be released near these areas and may be impounded if found near one of these
areas.
F. Community cat caregivers may reclaim impounded community cats without proof of
ownership for the purpose of carrying out Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and/or
returning ear-tipped community cats to their original locations.
G. A cat meeting the requirements of a community cat as defined by this chapter shall
be released on the site where it was trapped or within a mile radius of the site where
it was trapped. An ear-tipped cat received by animal control will be returned to the
location trapped unless veterinary care is required, unless the property owner
requests the cat not be returned, or unless animal control is aware of unsafe
conditions.
H. A community cat that causes damage, interferes with a property, creates a nuisance,
or creates a health hazard may be abated under the general abatement provisions
of the Davenport Municipal Code.
I. The City of Davenport or its designee shall have no liability for the disposition of any
community cat.
J. No person shall trap or capture any cat and remove or release it to another location
within or outside the city limits. Relocation of cats is prohibited unless expressly
authorized by animal control.

matter, open wounds, disease, and parasites;
I. Leaving an animal in a vehicle, on a vehicle, tethered or confined for a length of time
that could result in danger to or death of an animal. If the City of Davenport or designee
determines that such animal is in immediate danger, the City of Davenport or designee
may remove the animal by whatever means necessary without liability, for the purpose
of taking the animal into protective custody pursuant to Iowa Code 717.B.5 Rescue of
Threatened Animals;
J. Intentionally injuring, maiming, disfiguring, mutilating, or destroying an animal by any
means that causes pain or suffering;
K. Cropping or docking of an animal’s ears or tail, except by a licensed veterinarian, under
anesthesia, and following accepted pain management practice;

wherein an animal is confined clean and free from excrement and the odor arising from
excrement. Such area shall also be clean and free of vermin and any thing that is likely
to become putrid, offensive, or injurious to health. An area, structure, pen, coop, or yard
not maintained in a clean and sanitary condition may be declared a public nuisance
subject to the process outlined in 6.04.160.
B. It shall be unlawful for an owner or custodian to permit an animal to discharge
excrement upon any public property, common area, common thoroughfare, street,
sidewalk, alley, play area, park or private property unless the excrement is
immediately picked up and disposed of in an appropriate refuse container. If the
owner of private property has given another owner or custodian permission for their
animal to use their private property then this section shall not apply to that particular
usage.
C. Animal excrement shall not be placed in storm sewers or street gutters, but shall be
picked up and disposed of in a sanitary manner in an appropriate refuse container.

sanitary condition of the same. If the housing facilities are adequate and kept in a
sanitary condition an excess number of animals permit shall be issued.

reptiles, and similar animals normally maintained as pets in an enclosure inside of a
dwelling are not proscribed by this section unless specifically regulated by other
sections.
C. If a person is found to be keeping more than four animals without the permit required
by this section, the excessive number of animals may be immediately removed from
the property and impounded. Any such impounded animals shall be held for seven
days and if the owner has not either complied with the requirements of this section
or petitioned the court for the return of the animals by the end of the seventh day,

notice of the pendency of the owner's petition for disposition of the animal on animal
control within that time period, animal control may euthanize the animal or
permanently place it with an entity which is exempt from the provisions of this
section. If necessary, animal control may impound a wild, exotic or dangerous animal
at another facility. The animal's owner shall be responsible for all costs and expenses
incurred by animal control or the City which arise as a result of the seizure and
impoundment of a wild, exotic or dangerous animal. Under no circumstance shall a
wild, exotic or dangerous animal be returned to or placed with a nonexempt entity
within the City limits. If a wild, exotic or dangerous animal is ever again found to be
within the City in violation of this section, it shall be immediately confiscated and
disposed of as animal control deems appropriate.

chapter shall be allowed to keep such animals for the duration of the animal's natural
life. Upon the death of a wild, exotic or dangerous animal, the owner of such animal
shall not be allowed to replace such animal except as otherwise allowed by this
section. The burden of proving the prior ownership of a wild, exotic or dangerous
animal prior to the enactment of this chapter lies with the person keeping such wild,
exotic or dangerous animal. Nothing herein shall be deemed to exclude the
enforcement of nuisance or other laws on the owner of such animals.
6.04.110. Dangerous dogs.
A. Any person keeping a dog deemed dangerous or vicious prior to June 1, 2025 shall

animal control;
• The animal remains licensed under the requirements of this chapter;
• The animal’s owner or custodian posts their property with conspicuous
signs warning of the presence of a dog;
• The animal’s owner or custodian maintains continuous residency within the
city of Davenport;
• The animal’s owner or custodian complies with any provision deemed
necessary by the executive director of animal control in consultation with
the City of Davenport Legal Department to ensure public safety; and
• The animal is not involved in a bite, attack, or dangerous behavior incident
as defined by this chapter. Any new incidents involving a grandfathered dog
will be evaluated under the criteria of the definition effective June 1, 2025.

G. Upon receiving a complaint or having reasonable suspicion that a dangerous dog is

Davenport may initiate an investigation. If, after investigation, animal control or the
City of Davenport determines that a dangerous dog is indeed being kept, sheltered,
or harbored within the city by any person, the City of Davenport, or its designee,
shall declare the animal a dangerous dog. The owner or caretaker of the dog shall
then be ordered to either humanely euthanize the animal or have it microchipped
and rehomed outside the city limits within fourteen calendar days from the date of
service of the order. Until the dog is euthanized or rehomed, it must be securely
confined or leashed under the direct control of a person 18 years of age or older.
H. Notice of the declaration that a dog has been deemed dangerous shall be promptly
served in person to the owner, if known. If personal service cannot be completed
within the city limits, the notice may be sent by certified mail. The notice shall include:
• Description of the animal;
• Declaration that the animal has been deemed dangerous;
• The basis for the declaration;
• An order requiring the owner to humanely euthanize the dog or have the
dog microchipped and rehomed outside the city limits within fourteen days
of the service of the notice;
• A warning that the dog will be subject to seizure if it is not rehomed or
humanely euthanized within the required timeframe; and
• Information on the right to appeal, stating the owner may file a written
notice of appeal with the Legal Department within fourteen days from the

I. If the owner is ordered to humanely euthanize the dog or have it microchipped and
rehomed outside the city limits, the owner must comply within the required
timeframe of the notice of the declaration. If the owner fails to do so, the City of
Davenport or its designee is authorized to seize and impound the animal. Additionally,
the animal may be seized at any time if it is not securely confined or leashed under
the direct control of a person 18 years of age or older. An impounded animal shall
be held for fourteen days or, if an appeal is filed, until seven days after the final
decision of the appeal. If the appeal results in a reversal of the dangerous declaration,
the animal shall be immediately release to the owner or their representative.
However, if the declaration remains in effect and the owner does not seek a review
by the district court, the City of Davenport or its designee shall proceed with the
disposition of the animal in accordance with the policies of the organization providing
shelter services.
J. Orders and declarations concerning dangerous dogs issued by the City of Davenport
or its designee may be appealed through the administrative appeal procedure set
forth in Section 6.04.165 of this Code.
K. Any dog alleged to be dangerous and held under impoundment or quarantine shall
not be released to the owner but shall remain confined at the owner’s expense until
the outcome of the hearing is determined. If the dog is deemed dangerous, all costs
associated with its impoundment or quarantine shall be the responsibility of the
owner. If the Animal Hearing Commission after a full and complete hearing
determines the animal should not be deemed dangerous, all costs of the
impoundment and/or quarantine will be the responsibility of the City of Davenport.
L. Failure to comply with an order issued by the City of Davenport or its designee under
this section whether not appeal or upheld on appeal shall constitute a misdemeanor
offense. A violation of any of the provisions of this section may be charged as a simple
misdemeanor offense. Additionally, any animal control or police officer shall have the
right to seize and impound the animal if any of the conditions and specifications
established by this section are not being met.

the person has secured a working service dog license, tag and identification
number from the City or its agent. The fee for each security service dog license
shall be $10. No security service dog license or tag shall be issued unless said
working service dog is currently vaccinated for rabies.
C. An application for a license to operate, maintain and conduct security service dog
service in the City shall be filed, together with an application fee of $200, with the

need not obtain a separate handler license under this subsection.
E. It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in any business or occupation licensed
under this section in the City unless such person holds a valid license pursuant to this
section. A violation of this section may be charged as a simple misdemeanor.
F. Every handler or owner of a security service dog shall see to it that such animal wears
a clearly visible tag approved by the City or its agent at all times it is within the City
unless the dog is performing a security service which requires not wearing a tag in
order to perform the service safely. Such tag shall have stamped thereon "Security
Service Dog, Tag No., City of Davenport," and the year the tag was issued for. Lost
or stolen tags shall be immediately reported to the City or its agent and shall be
replaced by the City or its agent at the cost provided for other tags as stated in this
chapter.

of any security service dog shall, not less than 10 days after the transfer, file a report
with the City or its agent containing the name and address of the person to whom
such dog was transferred, a description and identification tag number of the dog, and
any other information the City or its agent deems necessary.
H. Any person whose security service dog is lost or stolen or whose dog has died shall,
within 24 hours of the loss or theft, or within 10 days of the death, file a report with
the City or its agent containing a description and identification tag number of the
dog, and any other information the City or its agent deems necessary.
I. A security service dog, properly registered as required by this section, in the custody
and control of a licensed security service dog service or handler, shall not be declared
to be a dangerous or vicious dog, provided that at the time of attack said dog was
under the direct supervision of a security service dog service or licensed handler.
6.04.120. Damage to property.

public nuisance. The animal control officer or a Davenport police officer shall have the
authority to use all reasonable means to abate such nuisance, including but not limited to
requiring that the owner or custodian make bona fide efforts to quiet the dog and
impoundment of the dog if the owner or custodian is absent from the premises. If the dog
is impounded, the officer shall attempt to locate and notify the absent owner or custodian
by any reasonable means as soon as possible.A person shall not keep, harbor, feed, or
knowingly allow any animal to emit vocalizations plainly audible beyond the property line
in a manner that meets one of the following objective thresholds:

recordings that reasonably capture duration and audibility from the complainant’s
property; (iii) a sworn complaint by two independent witnesses, or one witness
corroborated by time-stamped recordings or an officer follow-up.

a. In response to provocation, trespass, or an immediate threat;
b. Caused by emergency vehicles or alarms (≤2 minutes);
c. From permitted agricultural operations in an agricultural zone;
d. From wildlife not kept/harbored by a person.
Note: For community-cat caretakers, mere TNR feeding does not create liability unless the
caretaker’s conduct knowingly or negligently causes repeated violations under §1.
D. Responsible party. The owner, keeper, or person in control of the premises who allows
the animal to remain and create the violation is responsible.
E. Remedies. The enforcing official may issue: (i) a written warning and compliance plan;
(ii) a municipal infraction; and (iii) abatement under the Code (e.g., indoor confinement

6.04.140. Impoundment.
A. The City may establish and maintain a municipal animal shelter or the City may
contract with any nonprofit incorporated society or association which shall provide
and maintain an animal shelter for the enforcement of this chapter. It shall be the
duty of the persons authorized by the City to operate such animal shelter to supervise
and control such facility, to cause the shelter to be kept in a sanitary condition and
free from offensive odors, to provide for adequate food, water and shelter, to provide
for the collection of animals, to handle the destruction or disposition of animals not
redeemed, and to assist in the enforcement and operation of this chapter. The
provisions of this chapter shall be enforceable by any animal control officer and by
members of the Davenport Police Department.

animals, neglected animals, abandoned animals, and cats or dogs running at large
without license tags or rabies vaccination tags shall be taken and impounded in the
animal shelter and there confined in a humane manner. Community cats may be

All at large and impounded dogs and cats shall have an electronic identification
device, otherwise known as a microchip, placed under the animal's skin after 72
hours in impound, unless waived by the executive director of animal control or their
designee for good cause. The microchip identification shall become part of the at
large animal's record, and the impoundment fee shall be increased to include the
cost of the microchip implantation and registration in the amount set by Animal
Control.
C. Notice. Every dog or cat found without a license, collar, microchip, rabies tag, or
similar identification shall be kept for not less than three days after being impounded
unless sooner redeemed by the owner in accordance with this article. Dogs with
identification shall be kept not less than seven days after being impounded unless
sooner redeemed by the owner in accordance with this article.
D. Claim Fees. A person redeeming an impounded dog or cat shall pay the required
redemption fee as stated in Section 6.04.060 for a first, second or third offense and
the required boarding fees as provided for by this section. In addition, before an
unlawfully unlicensed animal may be redeemed the person redeeming the animal
must obtain a license as stated in this chapter. In addition, a person redeeming an
animal shall pay any additional fees required under the provisions of this chapter,
including any monies expended for the provision of medical treatment provided to
the animal.

animals a per day fee plus actual expenses incurred for the animal's care, food,
water and shelter.
4. For any animal not specified herein, a per day fee plus actual expenses incurred
for the animal's care, food, water and shelter.
E. No animal need be kept for the period of notification or impoundment if a licensed
veterinarian or an animal control officer certifies that the animal is so diseased or
injured that it is unduly suffering or cannot survive. In such cases the animal may be
subjected to humane euthanasia.
F. Unclaimed Animals. Animals not reclaimed or redeemed within the time limitations
provided by this chapter shall become the property of the City or animal shelter and
shall be placed for adoption in a suitable home or subjected to humane euthanasia.
No unclaimed dog or cat shall be released for adoption to a suitable home without
being sterilized, or without a written agreement from the adopter, secured by a cash
deposit, guaranteeing that such animal will be sterilized.
G. The refusal to redeem or reclaim any impounded animal shall not relieve the owner
of the duty to pay the impoundment fees, boarding fees, veterinarian expenses, or
any other costs incurred in the care of the animal. An owner or custodian who refuses
to pay such expenses shall be in violation of this chapter and subject to citation for
the same.

provisions of this chapter shall be liable for any accident or subsequent disease that
may occur in connection with the impoundment of any animal pursuant to this
chapter.

B. It is unlawful for any person to interfere with, hinder, willfully prevent or attempt to
prevent any police officer, animal control officer, or person authorized to enforce this
chapter by the City Administrator in the enforcement of this chapter.
C. Inspection Procedures. Whenever it becomes necessary to make an inspection to
enforce any of the provisions of or to perform any duty imposed by this chapter or
other applicable law, or whenever the animal control officer or other authorized
person has reasonable cause to believe that there exists in any building or upon any
premises any violation of the provisions of this chapter or other applicable law, the
officer is authorized to enter such property at any reasonable time and to inspect the
same and perform any duty imposed upon the officer by this chapter or other
applicable law. If the property is occupied, the officer shall first present proper
credentials to the occupant and request entry, explaining the reasons entry is sought.
If the property is unoccupied, the officer shall first make a reasonable effort to locate
the owner or other person in control of the property and request entry explaining the
reason therefor. If entry is refused, or the owner or person in control of the property
cannot be located after due diligence, the officer shall have recourse to every remedy
provided by law to secure lawful entry and inspect the property.
D. Immediate Inspection. Notwithstanding Section 6.04.170 subsection B., if the animal
control officer or police officer has reasonable cause to believe that the keeping or
the maintenance of any animal is so hazardous, unsafe or dangerous as to require
immediate inspection to safeguard the animal or the public health or safety, the
officer shall have the right to immediately enter and inspect such property, and may
use any reasonable means required to effect such entry and make such investigation,
whether the property is occupied or unoccupied. If occupied, the officer shall first
present proper identification and demand entry explaining the reasons therefor and
the purpose of the inspection.
6.04.155. Notice of violation, confiscation, revocation.
An animal control officer or police officer may send notice of violation to an animal's
owner or keeper. A notice of violation initiates administrative sanction procedures for
violations of this chapter, revocation of a person's privilege to license or keep animals
within the City, extension of periods of revocation, confiscation of an animal by the City,
or a declaration that an animal is dangerous. A notice of violation shall be sent by certified
mail or personally served upon an animal's owner or keeper at the request of a victim of a
dog attack as defined in Section 6.04.010(K). The notice of violation may be appealed
as provided in Section 2.86.020 of the City code. If appealed the hearing shall be
scheduled and held as provided by the procedures in Chapter 2.86 of the City code. If a
timely appeal is not filed the notice of violation shall be conclusively presumed to be true.
If no timely appeal is filed the notified person shall be deemed to have waived all rights
to challenge the action taken by the City.
6.04.160. Nuisances.
A. Any animal which is not confined or kept under restraint as required by this chapter,
and any wild, exotic, dangerous animal kept or maintained within the City in violation
of this chapter, any animal which barks so frequently, regularly, or habitually that it
causes serious annoyance to the surrounding neighborhood, is hereby declared a
public nuisance.
B. Whenever an animal control officer or police officer determines that a nuisance under
this chapter exists, the officer may cause a written notice ordering the abatement of
the nuisance to be served upon the owner or custodian. The notice to abate shall
contain a description of what constitutes the nuisance, the location of the nuisance, a
statement of the act or acts necessary to abate the nuisance, a definite time within
which the nuisance shall be abated which time shall be reasonable under the
circumstances, and a statement that the City will abate the nuisance if the nuisance
is not abated in the manner and within the time stated and no request for a hearing
is made within the time stated. Notice to abate shall be served personally upon the
owner or custodian by serving the owner or custodian or any person residing at the
residence who is at least 18 years old, or by serving the owner or custodian by certified
mail return receipt requested. If service is by certified mail, service shall be deemed
given when mailed.
C. Any person ordered to abate a nuisance may request a hearing on the order to abate
as provided in Section 2.86.020 of the City code. If appealed the hearing shall be
scheduled and held as provided by the procedures in Chapter 2.86 of the City code.
If no timely appeal is filed the nuisance shall be conclusively presumed to exist and
the person who was notified to abate it shall be conclusively presumed to be
responsible for the existence of the nuisance.
D. If a person ordered to abate a nuisance neglects or fails to abate the nuisance as
directed, the City may abate the nuisance. If an animal is impounded, the owner or
custodian of the animal shall be notified of the impoundment as provided in Section
6.04.140. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the impoundment
authority shall keep an impounded animal until such time as the animal control officer
who ordered the abatement notifies the impoundment authority that the owner or
custodian has complied with the order to abate or has abated the nuisance in some
other acceptable manner, in which case, the animal may be released to the owner or
custodian upon payment of all the costs, fees and other expenses incurred in the care
of the animal have been paid. If the impoundment authority is not notified of the
owner's or custodian's compliance within three days after the impoundment, in the
case of a previously abated nuisance animal, or from the time specified in a formal
order of abatement, the impounded animal may be disposed of in the discretion of
animal control.
6.04.165. Animal Hearing Commission
A. Purpose. The Animal Hearing Commission has the following powers:
1. To hear and rule on appeals related to dangerous animal determinations within the

Subject:
Second Consideration: Ordinance amending Chapter 12.72 entitled "Conduct in Public Parks" of
the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa to update language and requirements outlined in Iowa
State Code Chapter 724.28. [All Wards]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.
Background:
The City’s current Ordinance regarding hunting and firearms in public parks does not align with
requirements in Iowa Code Chapter 724.28. State law limits how cities and counties can
regulate firearms and weapons, and local ordinances cannot be more restrictive than what state
law allows.
To maintain consistency with state law, the City is updating the Municipal Code to reflect the
provisions of Iowa Code Chapter 724.28. This update removes outdated language, aligns the
City’s Code with state requirements, and ensures that the City remains legally compliant.
Attachments:
1. Ordinance
2. Current Section 12.72.060
3. Chapter 12.72 Redline
ORDINANCE NO. _________________
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 12.72 ENTITLED “CONDUCT IN PUBLIC PARKS” OF THE
MUNICIPAL CODE OF DAVENPORT, IOWA TO UPDATE LANGUAGE AND REQUIREMENTS OUTLINED
IN IOWA STATE CODE 724.28.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DAVENPORT, IOWA:
Section 1. That Section 12.72.060 of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa be and the same is hereby
amended as follows:

C. Hunting and Firearms
1. Prohibited Actions. Except as permitted in this section, no person in a park shall:
a. Hunt, trap, pursue, molest, kill, or capture any wild animal, reptile, or bird; or remove,
possess, sell, or offer to sell any young, eggs, nests, or young of any wild animal,
reptile, or bird.
b. Discharge or use any firearm, unless specifically authorized by state law, and except
as permitted under Subsection 2.
c. Possess or carry within any park any weapon or device that is not otherwise permitted
under Iowa state law, including but not limited to air rifles, spring-guns, bows and
arrows, slings, or any instrument that can be loaded with blank cartridges, or any
trapping device, unless permitted by the director under Subsection 2.
2. Permitted Use. The following are permitted, notwithstanding the prohibitions in Paragraph
1, subject to compliance with all applicable state and federal laws, and subject to any
additional rules adopted by Parks & Recreation:
a. Carrying by persons who are legally eligible under Iowa Code, including those who
may carry handguns under the state’s permitless carry law. Such persons may carry
firearms in parks, provided that they are not disqualified under state or federal law.
b. Discharge of a firearm in a park only under a special written permit granted by the
director, for specific events or uses (e.g., target ranges, permitted ceremonies), and
consistent with state law relating to discharge and public safety.
c. Use of archery equipment or non-firearm weapons (bows and arrows, etc.) in
designated areas only, where those uses are approved by the director, and in
compliance with all applicable safety standards and notices.
3. Shooting Across Boundaries. Shooting into or across park boundaries (from outside the park
into the park or vice versa) is prohibited unless specifically permitted by a special written
permit issued by the director, consistent with safety and state law.
4. Compliance & Preemption. This section does not require any person to violate state law.
Where state law allows carrying, possessing, or transporting a weapon, this ordinance shall
not unreasonably burden those rights, though it may impose reasonable time, place, and
manner restrictions for park safety. If any part of this section is found to conflict with state
law or court decision, it shall be severable, and the remainder shall remain in effect.
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE. If any of the provisions of this ordinance are for any reason illegal or void,
then the lawful provisions of this ordinance, which are separable from said unlawful provisions shall
be and remain in full force and effect, the same as if the ordinance contained no illegal or void
provisions.
REPEALER. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are
hereby repealed.
EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall be in full force and effective after its final passage and
publication as provided by law.

Subject:
Resolution approving Case F25-13 being the request of Elmore Storage LLC for a final plat of
Jersey Farms Commercial Park Fifth Addition, a 2-lot subdivision on 13 acres located at 6403
Elmore Avenue. [Ward 6]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
The Plan and Zoning Commission reviewed Case F25-13 at its November 4, 2025, meeting and
recommended approval subject to the listed findings and conditions:
Findings
1. The final plat conforms to the comprehensive plan Davenport +2035.
2. The final plat prepares the area for future development.
3. The final plat (with conditions recommended by City Staff) will achieve consistency with
subdivision requirements.
Conditions
1. That the surveyor signs the plat.
2. That the utility providers sign the plat when their easement needs have been met.
3. Include a note stating, "Stormwater Detention is required for this addition per city code
section 13.34 and will be located within the portion of Lot 1, Jersey Farms Commercial
Park First Addition Designated as stormwater management, detention, sanitary and
bicycle and pedestrian trail as shown on the acquisition plat (Doc. 2014-316558) by the
City of Davenport."
4. Add the following note, "Stormwater Quality treatment is required for this subdivision
and shall be located within this addition and shall be owned and maintained by the
owner or business association."
Background
The applicant has submitted a request for subdivision of a 13-acre property currently containing
an outdoor self-storage facility and an adjacent agricultural field. The intent of the proposed
subdivision is to create a separate, developable lot independent of the existing Elmore Storage
business. While the site does not have direct frontage on a public street, access to Elmore
Avenue is provided through a 50-foot ingress/egress easement across the adjoining property.
The subject property is part of the original Jersey Farms Commercial Park Second Addition,
which was platted in 2015.
Comprehensive Plan
Within Existing Urban Service Area: Yes
Within Urban Service Area 2035: Yes
Future Land Use Designation
The subject property is currently designated as Regional Commercial in the Davenport +2035
Future Land Use Map.
1. Regional Commercial (RC) – Are the most intense commercial areas that have
service boundaries that extend beyond the City limits of Davenport. Areas designated RC
should be located at the intersections of major streets and have good access to
interstate and other highways. Typical uses include big box retail and large office
complexes; although some residential, service and institutional uses may also be located
within RC. Most people will drive or take transit to areas designated RC. However, good
pedestrian systems should serve these areas and focus on connectivity from the street,
through parking lots and between individual uses. Connectivity to nearby neighborhoods
is desirable but less important.
Relevant Goals to be considered in this Case: Strengthen the Existing Built Environment.
The proposed Final Plat complies with the Davenport +2035 proposed land use section.
Zoning
1. C-3 General Commercial District: This zoning district is intended to accommodate
higher-intensity commercial development within the City of Davenport that serves both
local and regional markets. The C-3 District addresses medium- and large-scale
development that may generate considerable traffic and typically requires significant off-
street parking. Higher density residential uses are also allowed to facilitate a mixed-use
orientation where appropriate.
Technical Review
1. Zoning: The two-lot subdivision complies with the C-3 General Commercial District
dimensional standards. The existing self-storage facility remains in compliance with
building setback and off-street parking requirements. The agricultural field on Lot 1 will
remain a legal nonconforming use and may continue until development of the site.
2. Streets: The subdivision does not have frontage on a public roadway, and no additional
right-of-way is dedicated with this final plat. However, access is provided to Elmore
Avenue via a 50-foot easement. An Ingress/Egress Easement allows for shared vehicular
access between both lots and the existing driveways onto Elmore Avenue.
3. Stormwater: Stormwater Detention is required for this addition per city code section
13.34 and will be located within the portion of Lot 1, Jersey Farms Commercial Park First
Addition Designated as stormwater management, detention, sanitary and bicycle and
pedestrian trail as shown on the acquisition plat (Doc. 2014-316558) by the City of
Davenport.
4. Sewer System: There is a 36-inch storm and 8-inch sanitary sewer line spanning the
length of Elmore Avenue.
5. Other Utilities: Normal utility services are available on this site.
6. Parks/Open Space: There are no impacts to parks/open space.
Public Input
Public notification is not required for a final plat.

Resolution approving street, lane, and public ground closure requests on the listed dates and
times for outdoor events.
Ballet Quad Cities; Nutcracker School Program; RiverCenter/Adler Theatre | 136 East 3rd Street;
8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Friday, December 12, 2025; Closure: northernmost parking lane/loading
zone, westbound traffic lane, and center lane on East 3rd Street from Brady Street to Iowa
Street. [Ward 3]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
Per the City's Special Events Policy, City Council will approve street, lane, and public ground
closure requests based on the recommendation of the Special Events Committee.
Ballet Quad Cities | When 3rd Street operated as one-way traffic, the request was to close the
north parking lane and two travel lanes while leaving one lane open. With the conversion to
two-way traffic on November 6, 2025, Traffic Engineering and the Davenport Police Department
have determined that the best approach is to close the north parking lane/loading zones, the
westbound lane, and the center lane. Davenport officers will be stationed at Iowa Street and/or
LeClaire Street to direct westbound traffic to either 4th Street or 2nd Street.

DORSEY & WHITNEY LLP, ATTORNEYS, DES MOINES, IOWA
City of Davenport, Iowa
Tax Compliance Policy
Relating to Tax-Exempt Bonds
Dated: November 2025
I. Purpose:
To ensure that interest on tax-exempt bonds, notes or other obligations (the “Bonds”) of
the City of Davenport, Iowa (the “Issuer”) remains excludable from gross income under
Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
This policy is adopted by the City Council of the City of Davenport, Iowa, and shall be
administered under the direction of the Finance Director (the “Compliance Officer”) in
coordination with the City Attorney.
This written policy is intended to formally memorialize certain practices and procedures of
the Issuer previously adopted or followed in connection with its issuance of Bonds. The
Issuer’s policy for compliance are as follows:
II. Expenditure/Use of Proceeds:
A. Expenditure of Bond proceeds will be maintained and/or coordinated with the
FINANCE DIRECTOR (the “Compliance Officer”) for consistency with the Bond
documents, including any applicable resolutions, loan agreements,
tax/arbitrage/closing certificates or other operative document (referred to
collectively as “Bond Documents”).
B. The Issuer has separately established procedures for preparation and review of
requisitions of Bond proceeds through the accounting system of the Issuer. To such
end, the Compliance Officer shall:
(i). account and record how the Bond proceeds are spent (including
investment earnings and including reimbursement of expenditures made before
bond issuance) and maintaining records identifying Bond-financed or refinanced
assets (e.g., land, buildings, improvements, facilities, furnishings or equipment)
(the “Bond-Financed Property”), including the average economic life of such
Bond-Financed Property and allocation of such Bond-Financed Property to private
use or other non-qualifying use.
(ii). create the required funds/accounts (and any necessary subaccounts)
required by the Bond Documents (i.e. sinking funds, debt service funds, debt
service reserve funds, project funds, etc.), and if such funds are not required by the
applicable Bond Documents, create such funds and accounts, into which proceeds
of a Bond issue will be deposited. For all construction projects, a project or
construction fund shall be established to track expenditures for the projects.
629872\99999\4934-3552-2403\1
(Referred to herein as the “Project Fund.”) (In the event the Bond Documents
require a trustee, paying agent or other entity to create and hold such funds and
accounts, the Compliance Officer will monitor such funds and accounts
accordingly).
(iii). review and monitor all requisitions, draw schedules, draw requests,
invoices and bills for payment from the Project Fund, and determine whether such
payments are appropriate and consistent with the Bond Documents and use of the
Bond proceeds.
(iv). make and account for all payments from the Project Fund and any
other funds created (i.e. sinking funds, debt service funds, debt service reserve
funds, etc.).
C. None of the proceeds of Bonds will be used to reimburse the Issuer for costs of a
capital project paid prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds unless the Issuer shall
have fully complied with the provisions of Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury
Regulations with respect to such reimbursed amounts, and those provisions are
summarized in Exhibit 1 hereto.
D. The Compliance Officer will make a “final allocation” of Bond proceeds to uses
not later than 18 months after the in-service date of the Bond-Financed Property
(and in any event not later than 5 years and 60 days after the issuance of the Bonds
or not later than 60 days after earlier retirement of the Bonds) in a manner consistent
with allocations made to determine compliance with arbitrage yield restriction and
rebate requirements.
E. Expenditure of proceeds of Bonds will be measured against the Issuer’s
expectation, as set forth in the Bond Documents, to proceed with due diligence to
complete the capital project and fully spend the net sale and investment proceeds
within three years.
F. If there are any Bond proceeds remaining other than in a reserve or debt service
fund established pursuant to the Bond Documents after completion of the projects,
such proceeds shall be applied in a manner consistent with the applicable Bond
Documents or pursuant to advice from Bond Counsel/Special Tax Counsel.
G. In the event that Bond proceeds are to be used to make a grant to an unrelated party,
a grant agreement will be reviewed prior to execution for compliance with the
Code. Such agreement will be approved by the Issuer’s Attorney or Bond Counsel
and the Compliance Officer. The repayment of any portion of a grant by the grantee
shall be treated as unspent Bond proceeds.
III. Use of Bond-Financed Property:
A. Use of Bond-Financed Property when completed and placed in service will be
reviewed and continually monitored by the Compliance Officer.
-2-
629872\99999\4934-3552-2403\1
B. The Compliance Officer shall monitor all private use or private payments with
respect to Bond-Financed Property by nongovernmental entities and the use thereof
throughout the term of the Bonds to ensure compliance with covenants and
restrictions set forth in the applicable Bond Documents relating to the Bonds.
Private Use includes but is not limited to leases, research contracts, and use of
Bond-Financed Property by a non-employee, such as third-party contracts
concerning use, management or services in the Bond-Financed Property that do not
meet the compensation, term and other requirements under Revenue Procedures
2017-13. Such agreements will be approved by the Issuer’s Attorney and the
Compliance Officer, who will be responsible for determining whether the proposed
agreement (i) results in private business use of the Bond-Financed Property, and
(ii) if applicable, meets the compensation, term and other requirements under
Revenue Procedures 2017-13 and 2007-47 (i.e. Management/Service Contract
Rules and research sponsorship agreements); all upon advice of Bond Counsel, as
necessary.
C. Appropriate department/facility managers shall be advised in writing concerning
restrictions on the use of the Bond proceeds and the Bond-Financed Property and
instructed to consult with the Compliance Officer and the Issuer’s Attorney or Bond
Counsel, as appropriate, regarding private use.
D. Upon issuance of Bonds, there shall be no expectation that the Bond-Financed
Property will be sold or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer during the term of the
Bonds; and no item of Bond-Financed Property will be sold or transferred by the
Issuer while the Bonds are outstanding without approval of the Issuer’s Attorney
and the Compliance Officer upon advice of Bond Counsel or advance arrangement
of a “remedial action” under the applicable Treasury Regulations.
E. To the extent that the Issuer discovers that any applicable tax restrictions regarding
use of Bond proceeds and Bond-Financed Property will or may be violated, the
Issuer will consult promptly with Issuer’s Counsel/Bond Counsel/Special Tax
Counsel to determine a course of action to remediate all nonqualified bonds, if such
counsel advises that a “remedial action” is necessary.
F. The Issuer acknowledges that any sale, transfer, change in use, or change in users
of the Bond-Financed Property may require remedial action or resolution pursuant
to the IRS Voluntary Closing Agreement Program (or “VCAP”) to assist in
resolving violations of the federal tax laws applicable to the Bonds.
IV. Investments:
A. The Compliance Officer shall manage and supervise the investment of Bond
proceeds in compliance with the arbitrage and rebate requirements of the Code and
applicable Treasury Regulations.
B. Guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) may be purchased only in accordance
with the fair market value provisions of applicable Treasury Regulations, including
-3-
629872\99999\4934-3552-2403\1
bid requirements and fee limitations. Certificates of deposit may be purchased only
according to the fair market value provisions of applicable Treasury Regulations.
The Issuer’s Counsel/Bond Counsel/Special Tax Counsel will be consulted before
purchasing any other, non-marketable securities and before depositing gross
proceeds in any other bank account not explicitly authorized by the Bond
Documents.
C. The Compliance Officer will:
(i) Maintain a procedure for the allocation of proceeds of the Bonds and
investment earnings to expenditures, including the reimbursement of pre-
issuance expenditures. (See Section I Expenditure/Use of Proceeds and
Section II Use of Financed Property, above).
(ii) Obtain a computation of the Bond yield for each issue of the Bonds from
the Issuer’s financial advisor, underwriter or other relevant third party and
maintain a system for tracking investment earnings.
(iii) Coordinate with Issuer staff to monitor compliance by departments with the
applicable “temporary period” (as defined in the Code and Treasury
Regulations) exceptions for the expenditure of proceeds of the Bonds, and
provide for yield restriction on the investment of such proceeds if such
exceptions are not satisfied.
(iv) Ensure that investments acquired with proceeds of the Bonds are purchased
at fair market value. In determining whether an investment is purchased at
fair market value, any applicable Treasury Regulation safe harbor may be
used. (See Section IV. B. above).
(v) Avoid formal or informal creation of funds reasonably expected to be used
to pay debt service on the Bonds without determining in advance whether
such funds must be invested at a restricted yield.
(vi) Consult with Bond Counsel/Special Tax Counsel prior to engaging in any
post-issuance credit enhancement transactions.
(vii) Monitor compliance of spending of Bond proceeds with six-month, 18-
month or 2-year spending exceptions to the rebate requirement, as
applicable.
(viii) Prepare or cause to be prepared a spending exception report or an arbitrage
rebate computation (as applicable) for the Bonds upon final expenditure of
the Bond proceeds, other than a reserve fund or debt service fund (i.e. after
the project is completed and Bond proceeds allocated to the projects have
been spent).
(ix) Cause rebate payments, if due, to be made with Form 8038-T no later than
60 days after (i) each fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the Bonds
-4-
629872\99999\4934-3552-2403\1
and (ii) the final payment or prepayment of the Bonds. The Compliance
Officer shall engage a rebate specialist to assist with its rebate obligations.
(x) Arrange for timely computation and payment of “yield reduction payments”
(as such term is defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations), if
applicable.
(xi) In the case of any issue of refunding Bonds, coordinate with the Issuer’s
financial advisor and any escrow agent to arrange for the purchase of the
refunding escrow securities, obtain a computation of the yield on such
escrow securities and monitor compliance with applicable yield restrictions.
V. Continuing Disclosure:
The Compliance Officer shall be responsible for complying with any continuing disclosure
agreements/obligations related to any Bond issue, including making required annual filings,
reporting material events and coordinating with any dissemination agent.
VI. Financial & Other Non-Tax Covenants:
The Compliance Officer shall be responsible for monitoring and complying with financial
and other non-tax covenants and requirements in the Bond Documents, including but not limited
to covenants and requirements regarding liquidity, debt coverage, incurrence of additional
indebtedness, financial reporting, transfer of property, lien restrictions and loan-to-value ratios.
VII. Record Management and Retention:
A. Management and retention of records related to Bond issues will be supervised by
the Compliance Officer.
B. Records for Bonds will be retained for the life of the Bonds, plus any refunding
Bonds, plus eleven years (or such longer term as may be required by the state
records administrator). [Iowa Code section 372.13(5)(a)] Such records may be in
the form of documents or electronic copies of documents, appropriately indexed to
specific Bond issues and compliance functions.
C. Records pertaining to Bond issuance shall include a transcript of documents
executed in connection with the issuance of the Bonds and any amendments, and
copies of rebate calculations and records of payments, including Forms 8038-T.
D. Records pertaining to expenditures of Bond proceeds and final allocation of Bond
proceeds will include requests for Bond proceeds, construction contracts, purchase
orders, invoices, payment records, and trustee/paying agent reports. Such
documents will include documents relating to costs reimbursed with Bond
proceeds.
-5-
629872\99999\4934-3552-2403\1
E. Records pertaining to use of Bond-Financed Property shall include all third-party
contracts concerning use of the Bond-Financed Property, including (without
limitation) leases, use, management or service contracts, and research contracts.
F. Records pertaining to investments shall include records of purchase and sale of
GICs, certificates of deposit and other investments, and records of investment
activity sufficient to permit calculation of arbitrage rebate or demonstration that no
rebate is due.
G. Records shall include all documents pertaining to IRS communications regarding
the Bonds, including audits and compliance questionnaires.
VIII. Overall Responsibility:
A. Overall administration and coordination of these procedures is the responsibility of
the Compliance Officer.
B. The Compliance Officer shall review compliance with these procedures not less
than annually.
C. The Issuer understands that failure to comply with these policies and procedures
could result in the retroactive loss of the exclusion of interest on Bonds from federal
gross taxable income.
D. Any violations or potential violations of federal tax requirements shall promptly be
reported to the Compliance Officer, and the Issuer will engage qualified consultants
and Bond Counsel to further investigate potential violations or recommend
appropriate remedial actions, if necessary.

CONDUIT BOND POST ISSUANCE PROCEDURES

behalf of a conduit borrower (the “Borrower”) the Borrower shall be responsible for and shall

EXHIBIT 1
REIMBURSEMENT RULES SUMMARY

that are issued to reimburse expenditures that were paid prior to the date of issuance of such Bonds.
Subject to certain exceptions set forth below, the Bond proceeds cannot be used to
reimburse expenditures paid more than 60 days prior to the adoption of the declaration of official
intent/reimbursement resolution by the Issuer, which must contain:
a general functional description of the property to which the reimbursement relates

DORSEY & WHITNEY LLP, ATTORNEYS, DES MOINES, IOWA
City of Davenport, Iowa
Tax Compliance Policy
Relating to Tax-Exempt Bonds
Dated: November 2025
I. Purpose:
To ensure that interest on tax-exempt bonds, notes or other obligations (the “Bonds”) of
the City of Davenport, Iowa (the “Issuer”) remains excludable from gross income under
Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
This policy is adopted by the City Council of the City of Davenport, Iowa, and shall be
administered under the direction of the Finance Director (the “Compliance Officer”) in
coordination with the City Attorney.
This written policy is intended to formally memorialize certain practices and procedures of
the Issuer previously adopted or followed in connection with its issuance of Bonds. The
Issuer’s policy for compliance are as follows:
II. Expenditure/Use of Proceeds:
A. Expenditure of Bond proceeds will be maintained and/or coordinated with the
FINANCE DIRECTOR (the “Compliance Officer”) for consistency with the Bond
documents, including any applicable resolutions, loan agreements,
tax/arbitrage/closing certificates or other operative document (referred to
collectively as “Bond Documents”).
B. The Issuer has separately established procedures for preparation and review of
requisitions of Bond proceeds through the accounting system of the Issuer. To such
end, the Compliance Officer shall:
(i). account and record how the Bond proceeds are spent (including
investment earnings and including reimbursement of expenditures made before
bond issuance) and maintaining records identifying Bond-financed or refinanced
assets (e.g., land, buildings, improvements, facilities, furnishings or equipment)
(the “Bond-Financed Property”), including the average economic life of such
Bond-Financed Property and allocation of such Bond-Financed Property to private
use or other non-qualifying use.
(ii). create the required funds/accounts (and any necessary subaccounts)
required by the Bond Documents (i.e. sinking funds, debt service funds, debt
service reserve funds, project funds, etc.), and if such funds are not required by the
applicable Bond Documents, create such funds and accounts, into which proceeds
of a Bond issue will be deposited. For all construction projects, a project or
construction fund shall be established to track expenditures for the projects.
629872\99999\4934-3552-2403\1
(Referred to herein as the “Project Fund.”) (In the event the Bond Documents
require a trustee, paying agent or other entity to create and hold such funds and
accounts, the Compliance Officer will monitor such funds and accounts
accordingly).
(iii). review and monitor all requisitions, draw schedules, draw requests,
invoices and bills for payment from the Project Fund, and determine whether such
payments are appropriate and consistent with the Bond Documents and use of the
Bond proceeds.
(iv). make and account for all payments from the Project Fund and any
other funds created (i.e. sinking funds, debt service funds, debt service reserve
funds, etc.).
C. None of the proceeds of Bonds will be used to reimburse the Issuer for costs of a
capital project paid prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds unless the Issuer shall
have fully complied with the provisions of Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury
Regulations with respect to such reimbursed amounts, and those provisions are
summarized in Exhibit 1 hereto.
D. The Compliance Officer will make a “final allocation” of Bond proceeds to uses
not later than 18 months after the in-service date of the Bond-Financed Property
(and in any event not later than 5 years and 60 days after the issuance of the Bonds
or not later than 60 days after earlier retirement of the Bonds) in a manner consistent
with allocations made to determine compliance with arbitrage yield restriction and
rebate requirements.
E. Expenditure of proceeds of Bonds will be measured against the Issuer’s
expectation, as set forth in the Bond Documents, to proceed with due diligence to
complete the capital project and fully spend the net sale and investment proceeds
within three years.
F. If there are any Bond proceeds remaining other than in a reserve or debt service
fund established pursuant to the Bond Documents after completion of the projects,
such proceeds shall be applied in a manner consistent with the applicable Bond
Documents or pursuant to advice from Bond Counsel/Special Tax Counsel.
G. In the event that Bond proceeds are to be used to make a grant to an unrelated party,
a grant agreement will be reviewed prior to execution for compliance with the
Code. Such agreement will be approved by the Issuer’s Attorney or Bond Counsel
and the Compliance Officer. The repayment of any portion of a grant by the grantee
shall be treated as unspent Bond proceeds.
III. Use of Bond-Financed Property:
A. Use of Bond-Financed Property when completed and placed in service will be
reviewed and continually monitored by the Compliance Officer.

B. The Compliance Officer shall monitor all private use or private payments with
respect to Bond-Financed Property by nongovernmental entities and the use thereof
throughout the term of the Bonds to ensure compliance with covenants and
restrictions set forth in the applicable Bond Documents relating to the Bonds.
Private Use includes but is not limited to leases, research contracts, and use of
Bond-Financed Property by a non-employee, such as third-party contracts
concerning use, management or services in the Bond-Financed Property that do not
meet the compensation, term and other requirements under Revenue Procedures
2017-13. Such agreements will be approved by the Issuer’s Attorney and the
Compliance Officer, who will be responsible for determining whether the proposed
agreement (i) results in private business use of the Bond-Financed Property, and
(ii) if applicable, meets the compensation, term and other requirements under
Revenue Procedures 2017-13 and 2007-47 (i.e. Management/Service Contract
Rules and research sponsorship agreements); all upon advice of Bond Counsel, as
necessary.
C. Appropriate department/facility managers shall be advised in writing concerning
restrictions on the use of the Bond proceeds and the Bond-Financed Property and
instructed to consult with the Compliance Officer and the Issuer’s Attorney or Bond
Counsel, as appropriate, regarding private use.
D. Upon issuance of Bonds, there shall be no expectation that the Bond-Financed
Property will be sold or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer during the term of the
Bonds; and no item of Bond-Financed Property will be sold or transferred by the
Issuer while the Bonds are outstanding without approval of the Issuer’s Attorney
and the Compliance Officer upon advice of Bond Counsel or advance arrangement
of a “remedial action” under the applicable Treasury Regulations.
E. To the extent that the Issuer discovers that any applicable tax restrictions regarding
use of Bond proceeds and Bond-Financed Property will or may be violated, the
Issuer will consult promptly with Issuer’s Counsel/Bond Counsel/Special Tax
Counsel to determine a course of action to remediate all nonqualified bonds, if such
counsel advises that a “remedial action” is necessary.
F. The Issuer acknowledges that any sale, transfer, change in use, or change in users
of the Bond-Financed Property may require remedial action or resolution pursuant
to the IRS Voluntary Closing Agreement Program (or “VCAP”) to assist in
resolving violations of the federal tax laws applicable to the Bonds.
IV. Investments:
A. The Compliance Officer shall manage and supervise the investment of Bond
proceeds in compliance with the arbitrage and rebate requirements of the Code and
applicable Treasury Regulations.
B. Guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) may be purchased only in accordance

629872\99999\4934-3552-2403\1
bid requirements and fee limitations. Certificates of deposit may be purchased only
according to the fair market value provisions of applicable Treasury Regulations.
The Issuer’s Counsel/Bond Counsel/Special Tax Counsel will be consulted before
purchasing any other, non-marketable securities and before depositing gross
proceeds in any other bank account not explicitly authorized by the Bond
Documents.
C. The Compliance Officer will:
(i) Maintain a procedure for the allocation of proceeds of the Bonds and
investment earnings to expenditures, including the reimbursement of pre-
issuance expenditures. (See Section I Expenditure/Use of Proceeds and
Section II Use of Financed Property, above).
(ii) Obtain a computation of the Bond yield for each issue of the Bonds from
the Issuer’s financial advisor, underwriter or other relevant third party and
maintain a system for tracking investment earnings.
(iii) Coordinate with Issuer staff to monitor compliance by departments with the
applicable “temporary period” (as defined in the Code and Treasury
Regulations) exceptions for the expenditure of proceeds of the Bonds, and
provide for yield restriction on the investment of such proceeds if such
exceptions are not satisfied.
(iv) Ensure that investments acquired with proceeds of the Bonds are purchased
at fair market value. In determining whether an investment is purchased at
fair market value, any applicable Treasury Regulation safe harbor may be
used. (See Section IV. B. above).
(v) Avoid formal or informal creation of funds reasonably expected to be used
to pay debt service on the Bonds without determining in advance whether
such funds must be invested at a restricted yield.
(vi) Consult with Bond Counsel/Special Tax Counsel prior to engaging in any
post-issuance credit enhancement transactions.
(vii) Monitor compliance of spending of Bond proceeds with six-month, 18-
month or 2-year spending exceptions to the rebate requirement, as
applicable.
(viii) Prepare or cause to be prepared a spending exception report or an arbitrage
rebate computation (as applicable) for the Bonds upon final expenditure of
the Bond proceeds, other than a reserve fund or debt service fund (i.e. after
the project is completed and Bond proceeds allocated to the projects have
been spent).
(ix) Cause rebate payments, if due, to be made with Form 8038-T no later than
60 days after (i) each fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the Bonds
-4-
629872\99999\4934-3552-2403\1
and (ii) the final payment or prepayment of the Bonds. The Compliance
Officer shall engage a rebate specialist to assist with its rebate obligations.
(x) Arrange for timely computation and payment of “yield reduction payments”
(as such term is defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations), if
applicable.
(xi) In the case of any issue of refunding Bonds, coordinate with the Issuer’s
financial advisor and any escrow agent to arrange for the purchase of the
refunding escrow securities, obtain a computation of the yield on such
escrow securities and monitor compliance with applicable yield restrictions.
V. Continuing Disclosure:
The Compliance Officer shall be responsible for complying with any continuing disclosure
agreements/obligations related to any Bond issue, including making required annual filings,
reporting material events and coordinating with any dissemination agent.
VI. Financial & Other Non-Tax Covenants:
The Compliance Officer shall be responsible for monitoring and complying with financial
and other non-tax covenants and requirements in the Bond Documents, including but not limited
to covenants and requirements regarding liquidity, debt coverage, incurrence of additional
indebtedness, financial reporting, transfer of property, lien restrictions and loan-to-value ratios.
VII. Record Management and Retention:
A. Management and retention of records related to Bond issues will be supervised by
the Compliance Officer.
B. Records for Bonds will be retained for the life of the Bonds, plus any refunding
Bonds, plus eleven years (or such longer term as may be required by the state
records administrator). [Iowa Code section 372.13(5)(a)] Such records may be in
the form of documents or electronic copies of documents, appropriately indexed to
specific Bond issues and compliance functions.
C. Records pertaining to Bond issuance shall include a transcript of documents
executed in connection with the issuance of the Bonds and any amendments, and
copies of rebate calculations and records of payments, including Forms 8038-T.

proceeds will include requests for Bond proceeds, construction contracts, purchase
orders, invoices, payment records, and trustee/paying agent reports. Such
documents will include documents relating to costs reimbursed with Bond
proceeds.
-5-
629872\99999\4934-3552-2403\1
E. Records pertaining to use of Bond-Financed Property shall include all third-party
contracts concerning use of the Bond-Financed Property, including (without
limitation) leases, use, management or service contracts, and research contracts.
F. Records pertaining to investments shall include records of purchase and sale of
GICs, certificates of deposit and other investments, and records of investment
activity sufficient to permit calculation of arbitrage rebate or demonstration that no
rebate is due.

A. Overall administration and coordination of these procedures is the responsibility of
the Compliance Officer.

could result in the retroactive loss of the exclusion of interest on Bonds from federal
gross taxable income.

reported to the Compliance Officer, and the Issuer will engage qualified consultants

P2PAudit Group’s rates are subject to adjustment from time to time and at least annually effective January 1. P2PAudit Group
will advise City and Counsel immediately if a rate adjustment is being made. P2PAudit Group will bill for reimbursement of
reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses that are directly incurred on the Engagement, such as messenger, travel,
meals, accommodations, and other expenses specifically related to the Engagement. Further, if P2PAudit Group and/or any
of its employees are required to testify or provide evidence at or in connection with any judicial or administrative proceeding
relating to this Engagement to which P2PAudit Group is not a party, City will compensate P2PAudit Group at its stated hourly
rates and reimburse P2PAudit Group for reasonable direct and allocated expenses (including counsel fees) with respect
thereto.
All payments will be due upon receipt of the invoice. For your information and use, P2PAudit Group’s Taxpayer Identification
Number is 39-3619576. In the event City disputes any of the fees or expenses on a specific invoice, the City shall notify

the twenty (20) day period, the City shall have waived its right to dispute such invoice.
Without limiting P2PAudit Group’s other rights and remedies, in the event any payment is not paid by City within thirty (30)
days of the date of invoice, then interest shall accrue, from the thirty-first (31st) day until payment in full is received, at the
rate of one and one half (1 ½ %) percent per month. Nothing herein shall be construed as extending the due date of payments
to be made by City under this Agreement. In addition to any other remedies set forth above, and any other remedies available
at law, P2PAudit Group reserves the right to halt further services until payment is received on past-due invoices. It is P2PAudit
Group’s normal practice to be paid in full for all work performed to date prior to issuance of a report, deposition testimony
and/or trial testimony. City agrees to pay all court costs, attorney fees (whether or not contingent on collection from City) and
other expenses which may be associated with the collection of unpaid invoices.
P2PAudit Group’s fees and expenses are not contingent upon the final results, nor does it guarantee any result or resolution
in connection with this Engagement. P2PAudit Group will meet with Counsel regularly to discuss the ongoing work and
associated fees, and P2PAudit Group will rely on Counsel to communicate these items to the City.
The parties hereto agree that any confidential information received from the other party shall only be used for the purposes
of providing or receiving services under this Engagement Contract. Except as provided below, neither party will disclose the
other party’s confidential information to any third party without the other party’s consent. P2PAudit Group understands that
the confidential information, as well as its work product and files may become subject to discovery; however, until such
materials are sought by subpoena or other process, they will be maintained by P2PAudit Group as confidential. It is agreed
that those materials and all other working papers and other documents prepared by P2PAudit Group pursuant to this
Engagement will be maintained as confidential materials and will not be disclosed to third parties without Counsel’s consent,
except as may be required by law, regulation, or judicial or administrative process. Unless prohibited by law, P2PAudit Group
agrees to notify Counsel promptly of any of the following events: (a) a request by anyone to examine, inspect, or copy such
documents or records; or (b) any attempt to serve, or the actual service of, any court order, subpoena, or summons upon
P2PAudit Group that requires the production of such documents or records. Confidential information shall not include
information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of a non-disclosure obligation
hereunder, is acquired from a third party who, to the recipient party’s knowledge, owes no obligation of confidence in respect
of the information, or is or has been independently developed by the recipient.

Any advice given or report issued by P2PAudit Group is provided solely for City’s use and benefit and only in connection
with the purposes in which the services are provided including but not limited to all Permitted Disclosures (defined
below). Except for Permitted Disclosures (defined below), City shall not provide any advice given or report issued by
P2PAudit Group to any third party without P2PAudit Group’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed but may be conditioned on the recipient executing a third party release letter in the
form provided by P2PAudit Group. “Permitted Disclosures” means any disclosure that is required by law or legal process
or is made in connection with the services or the related investigation, including disclosures in connection with related
investigations, remediation, dispute or litigation. City further agrees that in connection with a Permitted Disclosure, City
will not reference or identify P2PAudit Group as the service provider, unless required by law or legal process. In no event
shall P2PAudit Group assume any responsibility to any third party to which any advice or report is disclosed or otherwise
made available.
While P2PAudit Group’s work may include an analysis of financial and accounting data, the services will not include an
accounting audit, compilation or review of any kind of any financial statements or components thereof. City management will
be responsible for any and all financial information they provide to P2PAudit Group during the course of this Engagement, and
P2PAudit Group will not examine or compile or verify any such financial information. Moreover, the circumstances of the
Engagement may cause P2PAudit Group’s advice to be limited in certain respects based upon, among other matters, the extent
of sufficient and available data and the opportunity for supporting investigations in the time period. Accordingly, as part of
this Engagement, P2PAudit Group will not express any opinion or other form of assurance on financial statements of the City.
In the event the services involve prospective financial information, P2PAudit Group’s work will not constitute an examination
or compilation, or apply agreed-upon procedures, in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants or otherwise, and P2PAudit Group will express no assurance of any kind on such information.
There will usually be differences between estimated and actual results, because events and circumstances frequently do not
occur as expected, and those differences may be material. P2PAudit Group will take no responsibility for the achievability of
results or events projected or anticipated by the management of the City.
The City shall notify P2PAudit Group in writing if City delivers to P2PAudit Group any personally identifiable information or
equivalent and the City shall instruct P2PAudit Group if any additional measures (i.e. data transfer protections) are required.
Upon written notice to the City, P2PAudit Group will, at its option, destroy or return to the City all original materials provided
by the City and/or Counsel to P2PAudit Group, and all materials created by P2PAudit Group specifically for the City as a result
of an engagement; provided, however, that with respect to back-up media, such materials will be overwritten or destroyed,
subject to P2PAudit Group’s normal schedule for overwriting and destruction, as the case may be.
City and Counsel agree that P2PAudit Group shall not be liable under this Engagement Contract to the City, Counsel, or their
respective successors, assigns or affiliates for damages in excess of the total amount of the fees paid to P2PAudit Group under
this Engagement Contract. In no event shall P2PAudit Group be liable for punitive or consequential damages of any kind. The
City shall indemnify P2PAudit Group, and hold P2PAudit Group harmless against any and all claims by third parties for losses,
damages or liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (“Losses”), arising in any manner out of or in
connection with this Engagement, unless it is finally judicially determined that such Losses resulted from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of P2PAudit Group. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Engagement
Contract and shall apply to any controlling person, director, officer, employee or affiliate of P2PAudit Group.
