Subject:
Public Hearing on the proposed conveyance of City-owned property located at 2301 East 11th
Street to the Davenport Fire Antique and Restoration Society, Petitioner. [Ward 5]
Recommendation:
Hold the Hearing.
Background:
This property was originally used by the Davenport Fire Department as Hose Station #4, but
has been leased to the Petitioner, Davenport Fire Antique and Restoration Society, for use as
the International Fire Museum for over 40 years.
The Society is a non-profit organization and, through planned fund-raising, lending, and
volunteer efforts, would like to make several improvements to the structure and property
including, but not limited to, tuck pointing, painting, refinishing floors on first and second levels,
updating windows, and concrete work. In order to effectively complete the improvements, they
have asked to become the owners of this historic building. As they have diligently operated the
facility for several decades, the City has tentatively entered into a purchase agreement to
transfer the property for $1 in recognition of the community partnership and desire for the
museum to continue to operate in the historic Village of East Davenport.

Subject:
Third 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
technology.
5. The extent to which the proposed amendment creates nonconformities.

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

Second 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.)

Subject:
Resolution of support for the submission of an application to the State of Iowa High Quality
Jobs program through a partial property tax exemption for improvements to a manufacturing
facility, Electro Freeze, H.C. Duke and Sons, LLC, Petitioner. [Ward 8]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
Electro Freeze, a division of H.C. Duke & Sons, LLC, is a global leader in frozen treat equipment.
For more than 107 years, the company has been a valued manufacturer in the Quad Cities.
Electro Freeze has approximately 169 employees and is currently based in East Moline. In 2003,
H.C. Duke & Sons was acquired by the Ali Group, an international food service equipment
manufacturer. Today, Electro Freeze serves customers worldwide through a robust distributor
network spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Having exceeded the capacity of its current facility, Electro Freeze requires additional
manufacturing space to meet increasing order volume and ensure continued operational
efficiency. Electro Freeze is evaluating potential improvements to an existing manufacturing
facility located at 8440 North Zenith Avenue in Davenport. The company is currently conducting
due diligence on the site and exploring incentive opportunities.
The project is seeking financing assistance through the State of Iowa High Quality Jobs
program, which is administered by the Iowa Economic Development Authority. As part of the
Company’s application to the State, the City is required to approve and provide a Resolution of
support detailing the financial incentive.
Proposed Project Overview
• Estimated capital investment: $16.3 million
• Construction Improvements: Upgrades to approximately 300,000 square feet of
manufacturing and office space
• Job Creation: 83 new positions
The City’s support for the project will be provided through the Urban Revitalization Tax
Exemption program. The building owner will apply for the exemption during the standard
application period in February of next year. In addition, the existing partial property tax savings
associated with the property will be passed along to the company through the lease.
Adoption of this Resolution confirms the following:
1. Approval of City participation in the project with the support of Electro Freeze, a division
of H.C. Duke & Sons, LLC, High Quality Jobs Program application.
2. Authorizes the Mayor to sign the High Quality Jobs Program application and, pending
approval of the project application by the Iowa Economic Development Authority Board,
the associated High Quality Jobs contractual agreements for Electro Freeze, a division of
H.C. Duke & Sons, LLC.

First Consideration: Ordinance amending Schedule V Four-Way Stop Intersections of Chapter
10.96 entitled “Schedules” of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa by adding East 3rd Street
at LeClaire Street. [Ward 3]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.
Background:
When earlier studies were conducted to determine the appropriate traffic control for the
conversion of 3rd Street from one-way to two-way traffic, the intersection of East 3rd Street
and LeClaire Street was recommended to remain a two-way stop. Following the recent
conversion to two-way traffic, staff collected new traffic counts at this intersection. The updated
data show that traffic volumes on LeClaire Street have increased by approximately 60%
compared to previous counts.
This increase appears to be influenced by changes in travel patterns following the completion of
the roundabout at the Government Bridge, as well as by fewer federal employees working
remotely. Based on the new volumes, the intersection now meets the warrants for an all-way
stop.
Staff recommends installing a four-way stop at East 3rd Street and LeClaire Street.

First Consideration: Ordinance amending Schedule VI Speed Limits of Chapter 10.96 entitled
“Schedules” of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa by adding West 83rd Street from
Northwest Boulevard to its western terminus as a 30-mph speed zone. [Ward 2]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.
Background:
West 83rd Street is a 41-foot-wide roadway located within an industrial area in northwest
Davenport. Historically, no regulatory speed limit has been posted along this corridor.
The most recent extension of West 83rd Street from Fairmount Street to North Zenith Avenue
was designed and constructed for 30 mph speed. Applying a posted speed limit that reflects this
design speed would help establish consistent and predictable travel speeds along the entire
corridor. This update will formalize an appropriate and design-supported speed limit on a
corridor where none has previously been posted, improving clarity and safety for all users.

Resolution awarding a contract for engineering services for the PROTECT | Mound and River
Drive Flood Mitigation project to HR Green, Inc of Cedar Rapids, Iowa for an amount not to
exceed $251,872.07, subject to Iowa Department of Transportation concurrence, CIP #68025.
[Ward 5]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
Earlier this year, the City began designing a flood-mitigation project located at the intersection
of East River Drive and Mound Street. The original project scope involved raising portions of
East River Drive to prevent floodwaters from entering the storm sewer system and causing
roadway closures. HDR Engineering was hired to design this scope of work based on an initial
construction estimate of approximately $2 million.
During preliminary design and hydraulic evaluation, it was determined that achieving this
outcome would require raising certain segments of the roadway by more than 4.5 feet—
substantially higher than originally anticipated. These elevation changes increased project
complexity, introduced significant challenges related to roadway tie-ins, access management,
and utilities, and resulted in a revised construction estimate of approximately $5.5 million. Given
these increased costs and complications, City staff reassessed the feasibility of the road-raise
concept.
Following this reassessment, the City has identified a more technically effective and financially
responsible solution: targeted storm sewer improvements. This approach eliminates the need to
elevate the roadway and instead focuses on preventing Mississippi River backflow into the
storm sewer system, addressing the primary mechanism of flooding at this location.
This new scope of work includes:
• Rerouting storm sewer lines and intakes to prevent backflow during high-water events.
• Installing a large-scale gatewell structure to isolate the storm sewer system from the
Mississippi River.
This method is a proven strategy already implemented at West River Drive and Marquette
Street and along East River Drive between 3rd Street and Carey Avenue. With a conceptual cost
estimate of approximately $2.8 million, this approach provides substantial cost savings
compared to the revised road-raise estimate while fulfilling the original intent of the PROTECT
grant application.
The storm-sewer improvement alternative offers multiple advantages:
• Directly addresses the primary source of flooding, providing a more effective mitigation
strategy than roadway elevation.
• Reduces construction complexity, shortens the timeline, and minimizes community
disruption.
• Improves fiscal responsibility, cutting costs nearly in half compared to the updated road-
raise estimate.
• Avoid major vertical changes to a state highway that carries between 12,550 and 19,000
average daily vehicles. This reduces the likelihood of necessary road closures during
construction, which would have been required under the original concept.
• Maintains PROTECT grant intentions, supporting long-term transportation system
resilience and reducing flood-related closures.
Because the scope of work has significantly changed, a new engineering design contract is
required to develop plans and specifications for the storm-sewer-focused approach. City staff
recommends contracting with HR Green, a firm with demonstrated success designing
comparable system-isolation and flood-protection projects in Davenport.
The agenda item before the City Council authorizes this new contract and enables the City to
advance the revised project scope.
For full context, the City of Davenport, in partnership with FHWA, is implementing multiple
flood-mitigation projects under the PROTECT Resilience Improvement Grant Program, in which
the city was awarded $13.1 million for this work. These projects support the creation of a
reliable permanent flood detour route, enabling safe, continuous travel during high-water
events. The detour system will utilize West River Drive, Rockingham Road, Marquette Street,
and 3rd/4th Streets, connecting to East River Drive and maintaining mobility throughout
Mississippi River stages up to approximately 22 feet.

Resolutions approving and authorizing the use of condemnation and commencement of
condemnation proceedings, if necessary, for a temporary construction easement associated
with the PROTECT | 2nd and Gaines Flood Mitigation project, CIP #35067. [Ward 3]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
The City of Davenport, in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), has
initiated a series of projects designed to enhance the reliability of the City’s transportation
network by reducing roadway closures and detours caused by Mississippi River flooding.
This proposed project, located at the referenced intersection and surrounding area, involves
elevating the roadway to remain passable up to Mississippi River stage 22. When combined with
other ongoing and targeted flood-mitigation projects, this improvement is integral to
establishing a permanent flood-detour route. The planned detour will begin on the west side of
the community at the intersection of Interstate 280 and U.S. Business 61 (West River Drive),
continue to Rockingham Road, transition to Marquette Street, and proceed to 4th Street, with
3rd Street serving as an alternate route. Both 3rd and 4th Streets connect to East River Drive,
which is expected to remain accessible to the eastern city limits up to Mississippi River stage 22.
To complete this project, the City must acquire one construction easement due to the necessary
sidewalk reconstruction resulting from the modification of the roadway grade along the
property. The City’s acquisition consultant, JCG Land Services Inc, has contacted all affected
property owners and is actively engaged in negotiations on the City’s behalf. The City’s
objective—consistent with all acquisition efforts—is to reach voluntary agreements with
property owners based on established valuations and any applicable site conditions. While
condemnation authority exists should negotiations fail, pending City Council approval, it is not
anticipated at this time.
All acquisition activities will be conducted in accordance with the federal Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act) and Iowa Code Chapter 6B.
The project is being designed by Shive-Hattery Inc and is currently at approximately 70%
completion (check-plan stage). All exhibits included with this Resolution are based on
preliminary design documents and are subject to revision as the design is finalized.

Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
The City of Davenport, in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), has
initiated a series of projects designed to enhance the reliability of the City’s transportation
network by reducing roadway closures and detours caused by Mississippi River flooding.
This proposed project is located from approximately 200’ west of Sturdevant Street to
approximately 100’ east of Marquette Street and Marquette Street from approximately 125’
south of 2nd Street to approximately 125’ north of 4th Street. Work involves elevating the
roadway to remain passable up to river flood stage 22. Additional work includes reconstruction
at and adjacent to intersections of Sturdevant Street, Washington Street, Filmore Street, and
Taylor Street. When combined with other ongoing and targeted flood-mitigation projects, this
improvement is integral to establishing a permanent flood-detour route. The planned detour will
begin on the west side of the community at the intersection of Interstate 280 and U.S. Business
61 (West River Drive), continue to Rockingham Road, transition to Marquette Street, and
proceed to 4th Street, with 3rd Street serving as an alternate route. Both 3rd and 4th Streets
connect to East River Drive, which is expected to remain accessible to the eastern city limits up
to Mississippi River flood stage 22.
To complete this project, the City must acquire 32 construction easements, 19 permanent
easements, and 10 right-of-way parcels due to storm intake construction, sidewalk
modifications, grading, driveway reconstruction, and the ADA improvements required as a result
of the roadway reconstruction and associated grade changes along the mentioned properties.
The City’s acquisition consultant, Ulteig Operations, has contacted all affected property owners
and is actively engaged in negotiations on the City’s behalf. The City’s objective—consistent
with all acquisition efforts—is to reach voluntary agreements with property owners based on
established valuations and any applicable site conditions. While condemnation authority exists
should negotiations fail, pending City Council approval, it is not anticipated at this time.
Pursuant to Iowa Code Chapter 6B, a Public Hearing is required before the City may proceed
with the acquisition of these property interests. All acquisition activities will be conducted in
accordance with the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Policies Act (Uniform Act).
The project is being designed by HR Green, Inc, and is currently at approximately 50%
completion (preliminary-plan stage). All exhibits included are based on preliminary design
documents and are subject to revision as the design is finalized.

City of Davenport
Department: Public Works Action / Date
Contact Info: Clay Merritt | 563-326-7734 12/3/2025
Subject:
Resolution approving and authorizing the use of condemnation and commencement of
condemnation proceedings, if necessary, for rights-of-way and easements associated with the
PROTECT | 3rd and LeClaire project, CIP #35067. [Ward 3]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
The City of Davenport, in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), has
initiated a series of projects designed to enhance the reliability of the City’s transportation
network by reducing roadway closures and detours caused by Mississippi River flooding.
This proposed project, located on LeClaire Street between 4th Street and 200 feet south of 3rd
Street, which is in proximity to the roundabout near the Arsenal Bridge. In addition, the project
is also located at the intersections of East River Drive at 3rd Street and 4th Street. The scope of
the project involves elevating the roadway to remain passable up to Mississippi River stage 22
on LeClaire Street and realignment of the intersections on East River Drive for better turning
movements. When combined with other ongoing and targeted flood-mitigation projects, this
improvement is integral to establishing a permanent flood-detour route. The planned detour will
begin on the west side of the community at the intersection of Interstate 280 and U.S. Business
61 (West River Drive), continue to Rockingham Road, transition to Marquette Street, and
proceed to 4th Street, with 3rd Street serving as an alternate route. Both 3rd and 4th Streets
connect to East River Drive, which is expected to remain accessible to the eastern city limits up
to Mississippi River stage 22.
To complete this project, the City must acquire eight construction easements, four permanent
easements, and four right-of-way parcels due to the roadway reconstruction and grade change,
roadway realignment at 3rd Street and River Drive associated grading and sidewalk
improvements and required ADA upgrades. The City’s acquisition consultant, Ulteig Operations,
has contacted all affected property owners and is actively engaged in negotiations on the City’s
behalf. The City’s objective—consistent with all acquisition efforts—is to reach voluntary
agreements with property owners based on established valuations and any applicable site
conditions. While condemnation authority exists should negotiations fail, pending City Council
approval, it is not anticipated at this time.
All acquisition activities will be conducted in accordance with the federal Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act) and Iowa Code Chapter 6B.
The project is being designed by HR Green, Inc, and is currently at approximately 50%
completion (preliminary-plan stage). All exhibits included with this Resolution are based on
preliminary design documents and are subject to revision as the design is finalized.

Resolution offered by Alderman R. Dunn.
RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Davenport, Iowa.
RESOLUTION approving and authorizing the use of condemnation and commencement of
condemnation proceedings, if necessary, for rights-of-way and easements associated with the
PROTECT | 3rd and LeClaire Flood Mitigation project, CIP #35067.
WHEREAS, City Council has authorized the PROTECT | 3rd and LeClaire Flood Mitigation project in the
Capital Improvements Program and budgeted money for said project; and
WHEREAS, this project requires that additional rights-of-way and easements be acquired in
accordance with the design plans and the associated construction for said project; and
WHEREAS, Section 6B.2C of the Code of Iowa requires that the governing body specifically provide
and confer prior authority and approval to the acquiring agency to condemn and/or commence with
the condemnation proceedings associated with such public improvement project; and
WHEREAS, by passing this Resolution, in accordance with Section 6A.5 of the Code of Iowa, authority
and approval is automatically conferred, unless otherwise declared, upon the acquiring agency to also
purchase property at its fair market value for rights-of-way and/or easements necessary for this
project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Davenport, Iowa that the use
of condemnation and commencement of condemnation proceedings, if necessary, for rights-of-way
and easements associated with the PROTECT | 3rd and LeClaire Flood Mitigation project is hereby
authorized and approved.

Subject:
Resolution approving and authorizing the use of condemnation and commencement of
condemnation proceedings, if necessary, for rights-of-way and easements associated with the
Eastern Avenue Over Goose Creek Bridge Replacement project, CIP #21012. [Wards 6 & 7]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
The City of Davenport has entered into an agreement with the Iowa Department of
Transportation (IDOT) for the replacement of the Eastern Avenue bridge (south bridge) over
Goose Creek.
This proposed project involves removing the existing bridge and replacing with a structure
meeting current design standards. To do so, the bridge will be slightly elevated compared to the
existing which will aid driver visibility standards and along with reconstructing a sewer creek
crossing just downstream of the site, allows the structure to meet the hydraulic flow
requirements.
To complete this project, the City must acquire four construction easements and five rights-of-
way parcels due to the location of proposed infrastructure and working area to complete the
project. The City’s acquisition consultant, JCG Land Services, has contacted all affected property
owners and is actively engaged in negotiations on the City’s behalf. The City’s objective—
consistent with all acquisition efforts—is to reach voluntary agreements with property owners
based on established valuations and any applicable site conditions. While condemnation
authority exists should negotiations fail, pending City Council approval, it is not anticipated at
this time.
All acquisition activities will be conducted in accordance with the federal Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act) and Iowa Code Chapter 6B.
The project is being designed by WHKS & Co and is currently at approximately 95% completion
(final-plan stage). All exhibits included with this Resolution are based on preliminary design
documents and are subject to revision as the design is finalized.

project in the Capital Improvements Program and budgeted money for said project; and
WHEREAS, this project requires that additional rights-of-way and easements be acquired in

project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Davenport, Iowa that the use
of condemnation and commencement of condemnation proceedings, if necessary, for rights-of-way

condemnation proceedings, if necessary, for temporary construction easements associated with
the West Central Park (Fairmount Street to Lincoln Avenue) Reconstruction project, CIP
#35064. [Wards 2 & 4]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
The City of Davenport has entered into an agreement with the Iowa Department of
Transportation (IDOT) for the reconstruction of West Central Park from Lincoln Avenue to
Fairmount Street. Work includes removal of existing pavement and construction of new PCC
(concrete) pavement, ADA improvements, grading, traffic signal upgrades at the intersection of
West Central Park Avenue and Clark Street, pedestrian signal upgrades at the intersection of
West Central Park Avenue and Elsie Avenue, and all other associated work.
To complete this project, the City must acquire fifteen construction easements due to roadway
reconstruction and associated grade changes along these properties. The City’s acquisition
consultant, JCG Land Services Inc, has contacted all affected property owners and is actively
engaged in negotiations on the City’s behalf. The City’s objective—consistent with all acquisition
efforts—is to reach voluntary agreements with property owners based on established valuations
and any applicable site conditions. While condemnation authority exists should negotiations fail,
pending City Council approval, it is not anticipated at this time.
All acquisition activities will be conducted in accordance with the federal Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act) and Iowa Code Chapter 6B.
The project is being designed by HR Green, Inc, and is currently at approximately 80%
completion (check-plan stage). All exhibits included with this Resolution are based on
preliminary design documents and are subject to revision as the design is finalized.

Preliminary Resolution for the 2026 Alley Cost Share Program. [Wards 4 & 5]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
Within the City of Davenport, alleys are considered secondary roads. A resident or business
owner petitions the City to have their alley reconstructed with full depth concrete or hot mix
asphalt (HMA) or resurfaced with HMA through the Alley Cost Share Program. This is an
assessment program where ¾ of the total cost to reconstruct or resurface a residential alley is
paid for by the City and the other ¼ is paid for by the abutting property owners based on the
size of their lot. Similarly, ½ of the cost to reconstruct or resurface a commercial alley is paid
for by the City and the other ½ is paid for by the abutting property owners based on the size of
their lot. The resident or business that requests to have their alley reconstructed or resurfaced
would have to obtain the necessary signatures on a petition prepared by the City of over 30%
of the owner-occupied property abutting the alley.
The City has received two petitions for alleys located within the City of Davenport:
• The north-south alley between Brady Street and Perry Street from East 14th Street to
East 15th Street.
• The east-west alley between West 16th Street and West 15th Street from Gaines Street
and Scott Street.
The estimated cost of these improvements is $319,200.

Third 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

hereby amended to add a new Subsection 6.04.060(B) as follows and relettering all subsequent
Subsections accordingly:
6.04.060 Animal running at large.
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.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

within or outside the city limits. Relocation of cats is prohibited unless expressly
authorized by animal control.

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

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.

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

or petitioned the court for the return of the animals by the end of the seventh day,

or animal control officer, be destroyed immediately without prior notice to the owner
thereof. The City and its agents shall be under no duty or obligation to capture or
otherwise confine the animal.
D. Any person found to be keeping, sheltering, harboring or maintaining a wild, exotic

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.

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
be allowed to keep such animal for the duration of the animal's natural life and shall

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:

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.

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

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

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

the animal to remain and create the violation is responsible.
E. Remedies. The enforcing official may issue: (i) a written warning and compliance plan;

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

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.

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.

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.

to challenge the action taken by the City.

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

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

Subject:
Third 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

C. Hunting and Firearms
1. Prohibited Actions. Except as permitted in this section, no person in a park shall:

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:

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.

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.

Resolution authorizing the conveyance of City-owned property located at 2301 East 11th Street
to the Davenport Fire Antique and Restoration Society, Petitioner. [Ward 5]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
This property was originally used by the Davenport Fire Department as Hose Station #4, but
has been leased to the Petitioner, Davenport Fire Antique and Restoration Society, for use as
the International Fire Museum for over 40 years.

volunteer efforts, would like to make several improvements to the structure and property
including, but not limited to, tuck pointing, painting, refinishing floors on first and second levels,
updating windows, and concrete work. In order to effectively complete the improvements, they
have asked to become the owners of this historic building. As they have diligently operated the
facility for several decades, the City has tentatively entered into a purchase agreement to
transfer the property for $1 in recognition of the community partnership and desire for the
museum to continue to operate in the historic Village of East Davenport.
Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Quad-City Times on November 28, 2025, and
the Public Hearing was held on December 3, 2025, in accordance with Iowa law. Adoption of

Resolution ratifying the Behavioral Health Services Agreement with the Iowa Primary Care
Association (Iowa PCA) to provide funding for a Crisis Intervention Officer. [All Wards]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
The Iowa Primary Care Association (Iowa PCA), now serving as the state’s Behavioral Health
Administrative Services Organization (BH-ASO), has transitioned to a unified Behavioral Health
Services System beginning July 1, 2025. As part of this transition, the Iowa PCA has offered the
City of Davenport a Behavioral Health Services Agreement that provides funding support for the
Police Department’s Co-Responder Program.
The Co-Responder Program pairs a full-time Crisis Intervention Officer (a sworn Davenport
police officer) with a mental health professional from Vera French. Together, they respond to
mental health-related calls, conduct follow-up visits, coordinate services, and help connect
individuals in crisis to the most appropriate resources.
The agreement provides up to $100,000 in year one to support personnel costs associated with
the Crisis Intervention Officer position. To ensure the agreement follows the City’s standard
approval procedures, staff is requesting City Council ratification. Ratifying the agreement will
allow the Police Department to fully participate in the state’s updated behavioral health system,
maintain continuity of crisis response services, and support the long-term sustainability of the
Co-Responder Program in partnership with the BH-ASO. This is a cooperative agreement with
the agreement held between Vera French and the Iowa PCA.

prevention, early intervention, treatment, recovery, and crisis services. There is a brief overview
of the Iowa PCA and our role as the BH-ASO at the end of this letter.
The contracting approach of the Iowa PCA, as the BH-ASO, provides access and sustainability
funding for services core to the continuum of care. These contracted services are one
component of Iowa’s new Behavioral Health Service System Statewide Plan. Another
component is Iowa HHS’s new Safety Net Management Information System (SN-MIS) and
associated fee schedule for billable services. We have included this information as well, and
those services will be billed directly to Iowa HHS for reimbursement and therefore are not
included in this contract or reimbursable by the Iowa PCA.
Click here for draft SN-MIS fee schedule
During this transition, services core to the continuum of care and service areas in effect now are
expected to carry over on July 1, 2025. With that goal in mind, below are some key principles
about the approach to contracting during this continuity period as we collectively work together
to transition to the new service system.
Iowa’s Mental Health and Disability Services (MHDS) Regions SFY24 expenditure data
and contract information was used to identify behavioral health and disability services
that will be paid through the SNMIS or through the BH-ASO.
We have attempted to extract all direct services core to the continuum and eligible for
access and sustainability funding and included them in one contract, by provider or
partner, to carry forward July 1, 2025 in services areas as of June 30, 2025. Dollars
identified as one-time investments by MHDS Regions are not included in the BH-ASO
contracts effective July 1, 2025.
The rates in Attachment B are consistent across the state and were set by Iowa HHS
based on historical expenditures data from both Iowa HHS contracts and as provided by
the legacy MHDS regions.

The contact information populated in the contracting package is based on the
information your organization submitted to us through the Provider Profile Form on our
website There may be additional information your organization is asked to populate in
the package.
We recognize that the process that was followed above may result in services, counties, or
funding not being accounted for in the contracting package your organization receives. Please
review all components of the package described below and reach out to
bhasoproviderrelations@iowapca.org to report any inaccurate information as soon as possible.
In addition to this cover letter, key components of the contracting package include:
1. Behavioral Health ASO Service Agreement – sets the general terms and conditions for
the overall business relationship. When designing this document, the Iowa PCA sought
continuity and streamlining across all providers. With this in mind, we will be accepting
minimal changes to this document.
2. Attachment A: Product Attachments – the number of attachments will vary depending
upon the services your organization provides (up to 7 total). These service descriptions
and requirements were developed by Iowa HHS and include state and federal
regulations. The Iowa PCA does not have authority to amend these.
3. Attachment B: Rate Sheet – the rates in this attachment are consistent across the state
and were set by Iowa HHS based on historical data provided by the legacy MHDS
Regions.
4. Attachment C: Data & Reporting – as the system develops, we will have additional details
on the requirements for data reporting necessitating future amendment.
5. Attachment D: Business Associate Agreement (BAA) – a legally binding agreement
between a covered entity (healthcare provider, health insurance plan, etc.) and a
business associate (a third party who performs certain functions or provides services
that involve access to protected health information (PHI). When designing this
document, the Iowa PCA sought continuity and streamlining across all providers. With
this in mind, we will not be accepting changes to this document.
The Iowa PCA is open to further discussion and is striving to maintain continuity of all services
that are carrying forward in the state’s continuum of care while also streamlining this important
work across the state. After reviewing all the attachments, please take one of two actions:
1) Execute the contract by signing all fields and submitting back to the Iowa PCA via the e-
signature process.
Docusign Envelope ID: 6D5E2FE9-7FAA-40A3-9A05-AEC8739990F4
2) Reach out to bhasoproviderrelations@iowapca.org to schedule time to discuss this
contract further.
The Iowa PCA is working to have all negotiations finalized and contracts fully executed no later
than June 20, 2025.
Upon execution, please also:
1. Upload a copy of your most recent W-9 to the link in the email, and
2. Fill out the Electronic Funds Transfer information attached.
We appreciate your engagement and responsiveness to this request as we collectively work

About the Iowa PCA and Its Role as the New BH-ASO
The Iowa PCA is recognized as a national leader in health information technology, value-based
care partnerships, quality improvement, organizational change management, and systems
change. As the statewide BH-ASO, the Iowa PCA will draw upon these competencies, our
experiences, and continue to seek input from local stakeholders to inform their approach to
system redesign efforts and to ensure a smooth transition to the new model. The BH-ASO is
responsible for ensuring all Iowans have clear, consistent pathways to care and the support they
need within each behavioral health district through installation of behavioral health system
navigation. The Iowa PCA will meet regularly with local leaders, school officials, law
enforcement, health care providers and public health professionals to discuss behavioral health
needs at a local level. We will also engage in district assessment and planning that is aligned
with the state’s Behavioral Health Service System Statewide Plan. Over time, we will instill a
unified operational approach for each of the seven behavioral health districts with guidance and
input from the Behavioral Health District Advisory Councils, resulting in a more streamlined and
efficient system of care.

Management Information System.
3.2 Payment for Services. BH-ASO shall pay Provider for Services in accordance with the payment
schedule set forth in Attachment B. All payments from the BH-ASO are contingent upon
appropriation from the Iowa Legislature and funding to the BH-ASO from Iowa HHS. Provider shall

from the Iowa Legislature or funding from Iowa HHS.

a. Provider will submit an electronic invoice to the BH-ASO by the tenth (10th) day of the
month outlining the Services or Deliverables performed, unless otherwise agreed to in an

Docusign Envelope ID: 6D5E2FE9-7FAA-40A3-9A05-AEC8739990F4
Iowa HHS fiscal year. Invoices submitted outside this timely filing requirement shall not
be reimbursable.
d. Upon request by BH-ASO, Provider will provide any records related to the invoice for
review or audit by the BH-ASO or Iowa HHS.
3.4 Consumer Hold Harmless. Provider agrees in no event, including, but not limited to, non-
payment, insolvency, or breach of this Agreement by BH-ASO, will Provider bill, charge, collect a
deposit from, seek remuneration or reimbursement from, or have any recourse against a
Consumer or person acting on a Consumer’s behalf for Services provided pursuant to this
Agreement, unless otherwise permitted by Law.
3.5 Consumer Grievances. Provider shall not prohibit or induce a Consumer to not file a grievance for
Services provided by Provider.
SECTION 4 – TERM AND TERMINATION
4.1 Term. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date indicated by BH-ASO and will continue
in effect for one (1) year and will renew for successive one (1) year terms unless terminated by
either Party in accordance with this Agreement.
4.2 Termination without Cause. This Agreement may be terminated without cause at any time by
either Party by giving at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to the other
Party.
4.3 Termination with Cause. In the event of a breach of a material provision of this Agreement, the
Party claiming the breach will give the other Party written notice of termination setting forth the
facts underlying its claim that the other Party breached this Agreement. The Party receiving the
notice of termination will have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such notice to remedy
or cure the claimed breach to the satisfaction of the other Party. During this thirty (30) day period,
the Parties agree to meet as reasonably necessary and to confer to resolve the claimed breach. If
the Party receiving the notice of termination has not remedied or cured the breach within such
thirty (30) day period, the Party who delivered the notice of termination has the right to
immediately terminate this Agreement upon expiration of the thirty (30) day period.

reimburse Covered Entity for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)

5.1 Term. This Agreement is effective upon the effective date of the Services Agreement, and except

terminate the later of the date the Services Agreement terminates or when all PHI is returned to
Covered Entity or, with prior permission of Covered Entity, destroyed.

terminate this Agreement and the Services Agreement if Covered Entity determines, in its sole
discretion, Business Associate has breached any provision of this Agreement or otherwise violated
HIPAA Rules. Covered Entity shall provide written notice to Business Associate with an
opportunity for Business Associate to cure the breach or end the violation within forty-five (45)
days of such written notice, unless cure is not possible. If Business Associate fails to cure the
breach, end the violation within the specified time period or cure is not possible, this Agreement
and the Service Agreement shall automatically and immediately terminate, unless termination is

Services Agreement and this Agreement is infeasible, as determined in the sole discretion of the
Covered Entity, Covered Entity may report the violation to the Secretary.

Covered Entity may terminate the Services Agreement and this Agreement if Covered Entity
determines, in its sole discretion, that Business Associate has repeatedly breached any provision

PHI by Business Associate, Business Associate shall provide written certification to Covered
Entity that the return or destruction of PHI has been completed.
(b) In the event that Business Associate determines that returning or destroying the PHI is
infeasible, Business Associate shall provide to Covered Entity notification of the conditions
that make return or destruction infeasible. Upon mutual agreement of the parties that return

such PHI.

SECTION 2
Duties of Provider
Section 2.1 Licensing. The Provider shall obtain and maintain all licenses, permits, certifications, and
other authorizations required under applicable federal and state laws and regulations to perform
the services described in this Agreement.
Section 2.2 Provision of Covered Services. Provider shall provide co-responder services, to
individuals and families in need, who shall be identified by emergency dispatch. Such services shall
be rendered in compliance with applicable laws, and regulations. Provider shall provide covered
services in a manner which: (a) documents the services provided, in conformance with federal, state
and local laws and regulations, and (b) protects the confidentiality of the individual’s medical
records and Protected Health Information.
Page 2 of 11
Section 2.3 Access to Records. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable statutes or regulations,
Provider shall allow specified City police department personnel access to records of individuals
served under this contract for purposes of appeals, utilization review, grievance, claims payment
review, individual medical records review or financial audits, during the term of this contract and
seven (7) years following its termination. The Provider shall provide records or copies of records at
a cost of twenty-five cents ($.25) per page.
Section 2.4 Service Shifts. Provider shall provide services based on a schedule including four (4) days
of ten (10) hour shifts for co-responders. Provider agrees to have at least one co-responder working
each day of the week, excluding national holidays when services will be provided only by the City
and co-responder positions will be filled with appropriate City staff.
On days in which two co-responders are working, they will work offsetting shifts to provide as much
coverage as possible within peak call for service hours, unless such structure is not possible or
feasible for Provider. Peak call is considered between11:00 AM and 7:00 PM. On days in which one
co-responder is working, that co-responder will work a mid-shift in order to ensure that the peak
hours are covered while also providing equal co-responder coverage to both day shift and afternoon
shift patrol, unless such structure is not possible or feasible for Provider. The Parties acknowledge
that exact times of shifts may be modified or may fluctuate depending on the needs of the
department, changing analysis of calls for service or staffing needs of Provider.
The City’s Police Department will identify a Crisis Intervention Officer (“CIO”) and allow that officer
and other patrol officers to receive all required training, including, but not limited to, Crisis
Intervention Training related to co-responder work. Once a Crisis Intervention Officer is identified,
hours may fluctuate to accommodate placing a co-responder with a full-time CIO and the Parties
acknowledge this practice has been found to be the most effective and trauma-informed response.
The City Police Department further promises to provide all equipment necessary or required for co-
responders, including but not limited to, up-to-date concealable body armor, a police radio, and a
body-worn camera.
Section 2.5 Reporting. The Provider will deliver a monthly report to the City of Davenport’s
partnership contact by the 10th of the following month with the following information:

Subject:
Resolution approving the Small Community-Oriented Renewal and Enhancement (SCORE)
Program and authorizing the City Administrator to administer and execute program purchases.
[All Wards]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
The program originated in 2004 as the Neighborhood Beautification Program and later evolved
into a Community Improvement and Support Program (CISP).
Throughout September 2025, staff met with elected officials to review the program. Council
provided policy direction on the scope of services, approvals, and other areas. The attached
proposal attempts to combine these opinions into a program that clearly defines applicant and
project eligibility and emphasizes public purpose for the program.
If the attached proposal is approved, notable program highlights include:
• The program will fund small capital improvement projects through Local Option Sales
Tax.
• The program total per fiscal year increases from $55,000 to $110,000, with the amount
changing from $5,000 to $10,000 per year per elected official.
• The City Administrator or designee will be authorized to administer the program at the
direction of elected officials wishing to fund an application.
• Applicants will be required to complete a detailed application and may be required to
provide additional reporting information.
• Applicants will receive funds on a reimbursement basis, unless prior authorization is
received from the CFO.
There is expected to be an amendment detailing the following information:
The proposed SCORE Program will replace CISP effective January 1, 2026. Any remaining
unspent CISP funds will roll into the SCORE Program and must meet the SCORE Program
criteria.

Wards]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
James W. Victor, deceased, named the City of Davenport in a Last Will and Testament to

In lieu of a gift/bequest to the City of Davenport, the Estate wishes to make a charitable gift to
the Figge Art Museum. The Victor Estate and Figge Art Museum entered into a Charitable Gift
Agreement on August 20, 2025, said Agreement being subject to the Agreement’s approval by
the City of Davenport and the Scott County District Court where the Estate is pending.
This agreement provides the necessary approval from the City of Davenport to divest from the

Subject:
Resolution approving the reallocation of a portion of the local sales and service tax revenue
designated for capital improvements to Parks Operations. [All Wards]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
Chapter 422B of the Code of Iowa allows for local sales and service tax to be established upon
a majority vote of the residents in that area. Such a tax was established in the City of
Davenport. In 1988, through an ordinance, it was established that local sales and service tax
would be allocated 60% to property tax relief and 40% to capital improvements. By resolution,
the ordinance allows revenues earmarked for capital improvements to be reallocated to other
lawful purposes as critical needs arise. Per Section 3.20.030 of the Municipal Code of
Davenport, Iowa, the Council may reallocate these revenues for other purposes by a resolution
passed by a two-thirds majority.
Over the last four fiscal years, local sales and service tax revenues have exceeded budgeted
projections by more than thirty-one percent (31%) annually, resulting in increased capacity to
address operational and community service needs. At the same time, the City’s parks system
continues to experience rising operational demands. These pressures will further increase with
the addition of Main Street Landing, which will require ongoing maintenance, staffing, and
operational support as it becomes part of Davenport’s park system.
Reallocating up to five percent (5%) of local sales and service tax revenue from capital
improvements to Parks Operations will enhance the City’s ability to adequately fund essential
day-to-day park maintenance, support general fund relief, and sustain the service levels
expected by the community—while continuing to preserve substantial funding for capital
investment.
Beginning in Fiscal Year 2027, local sales and service tax revenue shall be allocated as follows:
up to five percent (5%) for Parks Operations, up to forty percent (40%) for capital
improvements, and sixty percent (60%) for property tax relief.

RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Davenport, Iowa.
RESOLUTION approving the reallocation of a portion of the local sales and service tax revenue

WHEREAS, Chapter 422B of the Code of Iowa authorizes the establishment of a local sales and service
tax upon approval by a majority of the voters within the jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, the residents of the City of Davenport approved such a tax, and in 1988 the City enacted
an ordinance allocating sixty percent (60%) of Local Option Sales and Service Tax (LOSST) revenue
to property tax relief and forty percent (40%) to capital improvements; and
WHEREAS, Section 3.20.030 of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa, provides that the Council may
reallocate these revenues for other purposes upon passage of a resolution approved by a two-thirds
majority; and
WHEREAS, LOSST revenues have exceeded budgeted expectations by more than thirty-one percent
(31%) annually over the last four fiscal years, providing additional financial capacity to support
operational and community service needs; and
WHEREAS, the City’s parks system continues to experience increasing operational demands and
associated maintenance needs, which will further expand with the addition of Main Street Landing to
the Davenport park system; and
WHEREAS, reallocating up to five percent (5%) of LOSST revenue from capital improvements to Parks
Operations will strengthen the City’s ability to maintain clean, safe, and high-quality parks, support
general fund relief, and sustain service levels expected by Davenport residents and visitors.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Davenport, Iowa that the
reallocation of a portion of the local sales and service tax revenue designated for capital improvements
to Parks Operations is hereby approved.
Passed and approved this 10th day of December, 2025.

Motion approving Change Order #1 in the amount of $81,000 to Naviant of Verona, Wisconsin
for the Managed Services Agreement for OnBase support and maintenance. [All Wards]
Recommendation:
Pass the Motion.
Background:
The Management Services Agreement for OnBase support and maintenance was approved by
City Council on June 25, 2025, as council action #2025-297.
The City's current level of managed services is not sufficient for the depth of OnBase
deployment and the limited internal staff expertise. This proposed increase aligns with the City's
requirements as and will support the upskilling of two City employees to provide ongoing
support. After one year, the goal is to lower the contracted support hours from 20 to 10 per
month, allowing sufficient time for staff to become proficient.
This change order will increase the blocks of managed service hours included under the
agreement from 5 hours per week to 20 hours per week, an annual increase of $81,000.
Funding for this change order comes from account 50450530 560530 | IT Software.

Motion approving a contract with The Salvation Army in the amount of $50,000 to support its
housing and homelessness initiatives in Davenport. [Ward 5]
Recommendation:
Pass the Motion.
Background:
In late September 2025, the Salvation Army submitted funding proposals for the City Council’s
consideration. Council was provided with the proposal for their consideration.
The Salvation Army requested $100,000 to support its housing and homelessness initiatives in
Davenport due to funding gaps that stem from overlapping pressures including changes in
federal housing program support, the conclusion of one-time ARPA funds that temporarily
stabilized services during the pandemic, and a continued rise in local need.
The organization operates a housing voucher program that serves an average of 56 households
per month—most with children—by providing temporary shelter while participants await
placement in longer-term housing programs. This contract will support that program, allowing
the Salvation Army to stabilize operations and ensure families who need services are met with
dignity, safety, and a genuine path forward. This request from The Salvation Army is part of a
balanced funding strategy that distributes responsibility across local, state, federal, and private
partners.
Based on individual feedback given by Council members regarding the proposal, staff
recommends allocating $50,000.

1. Contract
THE SALVATION ARMY
AND
THE CITY OF DAVENPORT, IOWA
This contract is made and entered into by and between the Salvation Army (hereinafter known as
"Contractor") and the City of Davenport, Iowa (hereinafter known as "The City") upon signatures
of both parties.
Background and Impact
This year, between September 1, 2024 – September 1, 2025, the Contractor has supported 999
individuals through their voucher sheltering program. They served an average of 56 households
each month, with monthly totals ranging from 25 to 71. Nearly all included children, underscoring
how deeply this crisis impacts families. Each number represents a family or individual who found
safety, stability, and a pathway forward.
Families are remaining in shelter longer—an average of 87 days compared to 27 days in prior
years—because affordable housing is increasingly difficult to secure. This limits turnover and
keeps demand consistently high.
The Contractor projects a funding requirement of $619,587 for the coming year to maintain current
operations. Spread across twelve months, this equates to approximately $51,632 per month,
supporting an estimated 300 households annually.
This request from the Contractor is part of a balanced funding strategy that distributes
responsibility across local, state, federal, and private partners.
Scope of Services
This contract provides funding to support the voucher sheltering program of The Salvation Army
to help stabilize shelter operations and ensure continued access for families in need. The work
performed by The Salvation Army is imperative to the Davenport community and ensures families
who need services are met with dignity, safety and a genuine path forward. Securing for the needs
of Davenport families will save cost in vital community resources such as crisis care,
hospitalization, emergency room visits, the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, jails,
prisons, among other costs.

Services of the Contractor shall start immediately upon full execution of this Agreement and end
no later than January 1, 2027. All of the required activities and services, except for audit, will be
completed by or before this date.

Requests for Payment

amount of $50,000, to be disbursed in monthly payments over a one-year period. All invoices
shall be submitted using the City’s standard invoice, Attachment B, but at a minimum shall include
current and cumulative costs, breakdown by major cost category. Invoices and questions
concerning invoice receipt or payments shall be directed to the Program contact, shown in
Attachment A.
Final Statement of Costs
A final statement of cumulative costs incurred, marked "FINAL" must be submitted to the Program
contact, as shown in Attachment A, not later than 30 days after the contract term has ended or

constitute the Contractor’s final financial report.

Attachment A, within fifteen (15) days following the end of each calendar quarter. Reports shall
include:

household type)

Record Preservation
Contractor shall preserve and make available all records related to this Contract for examination

Motion approving a contract with Project Renewal in the amount of $50,000 to support the
second phase of their Youth Program Expansion and Renovation project. [Ward 3]
Recommendation:
Pass the Motion.
Background:
In late September 2025, Project Renewal submitted a funding proposal for the City Council’s
consideration. Project Renewal is conducting a campaign for their Youth Program Expansion
and Renovation project. Project Renewal's Youth Programs fill needs for many children who
face challenges of stability, education barriers, and access to opportunities for a successful
future. They help prevent risky behaviors, teach responsible decision-making, and appropriate
conflict resolution. Families utilize their support to care for children while parents work long
hours, complete their education, and/or struggle to overcome obstacles or abuses in their life.
Project Renewal requested $100,000 to support the second phase of its Youth Program
Expansion and Renovation project. This phase focuses on rebuilding the organization’s existing
structure to create an academic hub, expand capacity, and sustain year-round services. Project
Renewal currently serves between 55–75 youth annually, benefiting more than 350 individuals
including families and neighborhood members. To date, the organization has secured
approximately 78.5% of the total project funding.
Based on individual feedback given by Council members regarding the proposal, staff
recommends allocating $50,000 to Project Renewal for the second phase of the Youth Program
and Renovation Project.

for youth participants, include: 95% BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color), 65% from single

directly impacts 55 - 75 individual youth and over 350 lives of our surrounding families and
