Residents of all ages participate in a variety of activities offered at the Community Center. Bettendorf offers property taxes suitable to all, with services and facilities second to none. There is a strong emphasis on an open and responsive City government. This policy has attracted greater resident interest and involvement. City services are provided by a well trained and educated work force that is motivated by an incentive plan that rewards high productivity and achievement of annual operational goals.

Once inside the City's community center, users move from the Fitness Center to the Children's Museum and the Lincoln Center for the Cultural Arts. Situated in the center of the City is a modern library facility and government resource center. As much of the municipal service as possible is funded from the general fund. The City aggressively searches for all additional outside funding resources to compliment City funding of municipal services. The attitude of the City is confident and optimistic.
