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.

 animals, abandoned animals, and cats or dogs running at large without license tags or rabies
 vaccination tags shall be taken and impounded in the animal shelter and there confined in a humane
 manner. Community cats may be excluded.
Section 14. That Section 6.04.160 of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa be and the same is hereby amended
to read as follows:
6.04.160 Nuisances.
 B. Whenever an animal control officer or police officer determines that a nuisance under this chapter
 exists, the officer may cause a written notice ordering the abatement of the nuisance to be served
 upon the owner or custodian. The notice to abate shall contain a description of what constitutes the
 nuisance, the location of the nuisance, a statement of the act or acts necessary to abate the nuisance,
 a definite time within which the nuisance shall be abated which time shall be reasonable under the
 circumstances, and a statement that the City will abate the nuisance if the nuisance is not abated in
 the manner and within the time stated and no request for a hearing is made within the time stated.
 Notice to abate shall be served personally upon the owner or custodian by serving the owner or
 custodian or any person residing at the residence who is at least 18 years old, or by serving the owner
 or custodian by certified mail, return receipt requested. If service is by certified mail, service shall be
 deemed given when mailed.
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE. If any of the provisions of this ordinance are for any reason illegal or void, then the
lawful provisions of this ordinance, which are separable from said unlawful provisions shall be and remain in full
force and effect, the same as if the ordinance contained no illegal or void provisions.
REPEALER. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby
repealed.
EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall be in full force and effective after its final passage and publication as by law
provided.

 a. Carrying by persons who are legally eligible under Iowa Code, including those who may carry
 handguns under the state’s permitless carry law. Such persons may carry firearms in parks,

 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

 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.

provided by law.
