First Consideration: Ordinance amending Chapter 3.20 entitled "Sales and Service Tax" of the
Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa, by amending Section 3.20.020 and repealing Section
3.20.030 to align with Iowa Code. [All Wards]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.

Background:
Davenport Municipal Code Chapter 3.20 governs the City’s local sales and service tax allocation.
Section 3.20.030 currently states that revenues allocated for capital improvements may be used
for other lawful purposes as critical needs arise, and that the Council may allocate those
revenues to other purposes by resolution upon a two-thirds vote. The City Attorney’s Office has
reviewed this provision in light of applicable state law governing local option sales and services
tax (Iowa Code Chapter 423B) and concludes the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa, should be
revised to avoid any implication that dedicated allocations may be reallocated by resolution
where state law requires different procedures.

This Ordinance is a Code cleanup and compliance measure which will achieve the following:

 1. Amends Section 3.20.020 to remove internal language suggesting changes may occur
 "by other provisions of this chapter" and clarificies the allocation remains fixed unless
 changed as provided by state law.
 2. Repeals Section 3.20.030 in its entirety.

Subject:
Resolution rescinding Resolution 2025-517, which reallocated a portion of local sales and
service tax revenue designated for capital improvements to Parks Operations, and directing
administration of local option sales and service tax revenue consistent with state law. [All
Wards]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.

Background:
Iowa law authorizes local option sales and services taxes through state statute, currently
codified in Iowa Code Chapter 423B and its implementing rules. The City of Davenport has
adopted its local framework for the administration and allocation of LOSST revenues through
Title 3, Chapter 3.20 of the Davenport Municipal Code, which establishes the City’s approach to
distributing these revenues.

On December 10, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-517. That resolution
approved a prospective reallocation of up to five percent (5%) of LOSST revenues from the
portion allocated to capital improvements to Parks Operations, with the reallocation scheduled
to begin in FY 2027.

The resolution advanced in a budget and planning context and was based on a combination of
factors. These included LOSST revenue performance, increasing service-delivery pressures
related to parks operations, and language in Davenport Municipal Code section 3.20.030. That
section states that revenues allocated for capital improvements “may be used” for other lawful
purposes as critical needs arise and that the Council “may allocate these revenues to other
purposes by resolution upon a two-thirds majority vote.” As a result, the proposal proceeded on
the premise that reallocation by Council resolution was a sufficient legal mechanism under the
City Code.

Following adoption of Resolution No. 2025-517, additional legal review was conducted to assess
the interaction between the Davenport Municipal Code and controlling state law governing
LOSST. This review focused on statutory requirements related to elections, voter authorization,
and the procedures for changes to the imposition, repeal, rate, or permitted uses of LOSST
revenues. That analysis identified legal risk that the mechanism used in Resolution No. 2025-
517—namely, reallocation by resolution—may not be authorized under state law and/or the
voter-approved framework applicable to Davenport’s LOSST.

From a procedural standpoint, rescission of Resolution No. 2025-517 is the most appropriate
corrective action. Rescission removes a Council directive that may be ultra vires or
unenforceable, prevents staff from developing FY 2027 budgets and multi-year financial plans
based on a legally uncertain allocation, and improves clarity for auditors, bond counsel, the
public, and City departments. Importantly, rescission also serves as prospective harm reduction,
as the resolution was structured to take effect in FY 2027, allowing Council to correct the issue
before it influences budget decisions.

Rescission does not preclude the Council from funding park operations. Rather, it requires that
such funding decisions be made through lawful mechanisms. These may include general fund
budgeting, legally available transfers, other revenue sources, or, if Council chooses to pursue it,
a LOSST use-change process that fully complies with state law and voter-authorization
requirements.

Resolution offered by Alderwoman Newton.

RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Davenport, Iowa.

RESOLUTION rescinding Resolution 2025-517, which reallocated a portion of local sales and service
tax revenue designated for capital improvements to Parks Operations, and directing administration of
local option sales and service tax revenue consistent with state law.

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, Davenport Municipal Code section 3.20.020 provides that LOSST revenues “shall be
allocated 60% for property tax relief and 40% for capital improvements,” and that such allocation
“shall remain fixed and shall not be changed except as provided by state law or by other provisions of
this chapter”; and

WHEREAS, Davenport Municipal Code section 3.20.030 further states that revenues allocated for
capital improvements may be used to fund other lawful purposes as critical needs arise, and that the
Council may allocate such revenues to other purposes by resolution upon a two-thirds majority vote;
and

WHEREAS, on December 10, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution 2025-517, titled “Resolution
approving the reallocation of a portion of the local sales and service tax revenue designated for capital
improvements to Parks Operations,” approving the reallocation of up to five percent (5%) of LOSST
revenue from capital improvements to Parks Operations beginning in FY 2027; and

WHEREAS, Resolution No. 2025-517 was presented as part of the City’s budget and financial planning
process, based on staff analysis and forecasts indicating (i) LOSST revenues had exceeded budgeted
expectations by more than thirty-one percent (31%) annually over the prior four fiscal years, and (ii)
the City’s parks system was experiencing increasing operational demands and maintenance needs,
including anticipated impacts associated with the addition of Main Street Landing to the park system;
and

WHEREAS, consistent with that budget-planning context, Resolution 2025-517 was advanced on the
premise that reallocating a limited portion of the LOSST revenues historically earmarked for capital
improvements to Parks Operations would preserve substantial capital funding while addressing day-
to-day operational service levels expected by the community; and

WHEREAS, at the time Resolution 2025-517 was recommended and adopted, the Council’s
understanding, based on the language of Davenport Municipal Code section 3.20.030 and the staff
recommendation accompanying the item, was that the City possessed sufficient local authority to
implement a reallocation for “other lawful purposes” by resolution (with a two-thirds vote), and that
Parks Operations qualified for such treatment under the cited local code provision; and

WHEREAS, upon further review after adoption, including review of controlling state law requirements
governing LOSST, the voter-approved authorization/use framework applicable to Davenport’s LOSST,
and the legal effect of any local provision that is inconsistent with state law, the City Council has
determined that the premise underlying Resolution 2025-517 was incorrect, and that Resolution 2025-
517 should be rescinded to ensure compliance with state law, the voter-approved authorization, and
to prevent continued reliance on an invalid or unenforceable allocation directive; and

WHEREAS, the City Council further finds it is in the public interest to correct the record promptly, to
provide clear direction to City staff regarding administration of LOSST revenues, and to consider park-
operations funding needs through lawful budgetary mechanisms and/or other legally authorized
processes.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Davenport, Iowa, that:

1. Resolution 2025-517 is hereby rescinded and repealed in its entirety and shall be of no further force
or effect as of the effective date of this Resolution.

2. City staff, having already ceased implementation of Resolution 2025-517, is directed to administer
LOSST revenues consistent with applicable state law and the City’s codified LOSST allocation
provisions, including Davenport Municipal Code section 3.20.020, unless and until such allocations are
lawfully changed through an authorized legal process. Corporation Counsel is directed to prepare any
and all necessary changes to Davenport Municipal Code Chapter 3.20 to bring it in line with state law
ensuring its reliability for future Councils and Administrations.

3. The Interim City Administrator and Finance Director are authorized and directed to prepare any
necessary budget amendments, financial plan revisions, or administrative corrections to remove any
planned, assumed, or implemented reallocation associated with Resolution 2025-517 and to present
such items to the City Council as needed for approval.

Passed and approved this 28th day of January, 2026.

Third 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.

“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.

First Consideration: Ordinance amending Chapter 8.12 entitled "Nuisances" of the Municipal
Code of Davenport, Iowa, to update language in accordance with Iowa State Code and update
the problem area nuisance list. [All Wards]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.

Background:
Chapter 8.12 of the Davenport Municipal Code establishes standards for identifying and
addressing nuisance conditions that impact public safety and quality of life. Section 8.12.015
defines a “problem area nuisance” based on the occurrence of specified criminal acts or
violations within a defined timeframe and proximity to a property.

Iowa Code section 708.6 has replaced the term "Terrorism" with "Intimidation with a Deadly
and Dangerous Weapon", so the City is updating our local code to reflect this change. Also,
adding "Felon in possession of a firearm" aligns the nuisance ordinance with serious offenses
identified in state law and strengthens the City’s ability to proactively address properties
associated with dangerous activity. This update supports consistent application of the code and
provides an early, preventative enforcement tool focused on public safety.

Section 1. That Subsection 8.12.015(A) of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa, be and the same

A problem area nuisance exists:

A. When one or more of the following acts are committed within a period of 12 consecutive months

Subject:
First Consideration: Ordinance amending Chapter 10.16 entitled “Traffic Control Devices” of the
Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa, to clarify authority related to traffic fines. [All Wards]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.

Background:
Adding "operator" to Section 10.16.070(C) of the Municipal Code clarifies responsibility for
traffic violations by recognizing that the person driving the vehicle may not be the registered
owner. This update improves enforcement consistency and strengthens the legal clarity and
effectiveness of the ordinance without expanding the scope of the violation.

 Section 1. That Subsection 10.16.070(C) of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa, be and
 the same is hereby amended to reads as follows:

 C. Vehicle owner subject to civil fine for automated traffic citations.

 vehicle crosses a marked stop line or the intersection plane at a system location
 when the traffic signal for that vehicle's direction is emitting a steady red light or
 red arrow.
 2. The vehicle owner or operator shall be liable for a fine as imposed below if such
 vehicle travels at a speed above the posted speed limit.
 3. A list of non-exclusive exemptions from liability under this section are set forth below
 and shall not be considered violations for purposes of the automated traffic
 enforcement system.
 (a) The violation occurred after the vehicle in question or its state registration
 plates were reported to a law enforcement agency as stolen and were not yet
 recovered.
 (b) The vehicle operator was issued a uniform traffic citation for the violation at
 issue pursuant to Davenport Municipal Code.
 (c) The vehicle in question was an authorized emergency vehicle and/or otherwise
 was conducting official business.

 question was lawfully participating in a funeral procession.
 (f) The officer or employee reviewing the image determines that the image, in
 whole or in part, is unclear due to weather, obstruction, or poor image quality

Downloaded from https://ecode360.com/DA4058 on 2025-
08-27
 (g) The officer or employee reviewing the image is unable to determine which
 vehicle in the image triggered the automated system when more than one
 vehicle is present in the image.
 (h) The foregoing list of exemptions shall not be construed as limiting the defenses
 available to challenge an automated traffic citation or defend a municipal
 infraction.
 4. The Iowa Department of Transportation or similar department of any other state
 shall not consider the violation for purposes of driver's license sanctions, and an
 insurer shall not consider the violation for determination of an individual's
 automobile insurance rates.

 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.

 ordinance are hereby repealed.

 publication as provided by law.

 Chapter 10.16
 TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES

 10.16.010. Manual and specifications for official traffic control devices. [Ord. 84-247 § 6.1]
 All official traffic control devices shall conform to the manual and specifications required by state
 law and approved by the Iowa State Department of Transportation. All traffic control devices so
 erected and not inconsistent with the provisions of the manual or state law or this ordinance shall
 be official traffic control devices.

 10.16.020. When official traffic control devices required for enforcement purposes. [Ord.
 84-247 § 6.2]
 No provision of this ordinance for which official traffic control devices are required shall be
 enforced against an alleged violator if at the time and place of the alleged violation an official
 traffic control device has not been erected. Whenever a particular section does not state that
 official traffic control devices are required, such section shall be effective even though no devices
 are erected or in place.

 10.16.030. Official traffic control devices — Presumption of legality. [Ord. 84-247 § 6.3]
 A. Whenever official traffic control devices are placed in position approximately conforming to
 the requirements of this title, such devices shall be presumed to have been so placed by the
 official act or direction of lawful authority, unless the contrary shall be established by
 competent evidence.
 B. Any official traffic control device placed pursuant to the provisions of this title and
 purporting to conform to the lawful requirements pertaining to such devices shall be
 presumed to comply with the requirements of this title, unless the contrary shall be
 established by competent evidence.

 10.16.040. Traffic control signals. [Ord. 84-247 § 6.4]
 A. For the purpose of this section "stop at the official traffic control signal" means stopping at
 the first opportunity at either the clearly marked stop line or before entering the crosswalk or
 before entering the intersection.
 B. Official traffic control signals consisting of colored lights or colored lighted arrows shall
 regulate vehicle and pedestrian traffic in the following manner:
 1. A "steady circular red" light means vehicular traffic shall stop. Vehicular traffic shall
 remain standing until a signal to proceed is shown or vehicular traffic, unless prohibited
 by a sign, may cautiously enter the intersection to make a right turn from the right lane
 of traffic or a left turn from a one-way street to a one-way street from the left lane of
 traffic on a one-way street onto the left-most lane of traffic on a one-way street. Turns
 made under this paragraph shall be made in a manner that does not interfere with other
 vehicular or pedestrian traffic lawfully using the intersection. Pedestrian traffic facing a
 steady circular red light shall not safely cross the roadway without interfering with any
 vehicular traffic.

City of Davenport, IA

 10.16.040 10.16.060

 2. A "steady circular yellow" or "steady yellow arrow" light means vehicular traffic is
 warned that the related green movement is being terminated and vehicular traffic shall
 no longer proceed into the intersection and shall stop. If the stop cannot be made in
 safety, a vehicle may be driven cautiously through the intersection. Pedestrian traffic is
 warned that there is insufficient time to cross the intersection and any pedestrian starting
 to cross the roadway shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles.
 3. A "steady circular green" light means vehicular traffic may proceed straight, turn right
 or turn left through the intersection unless otherwise specifically prohibited. Vehicular
 traffic shall yield the right-of-way to other vehicular and pedestrian traffic lawfully
 within the intersection.
 4. A "steady green arrow" light shown alone or with another official traffic control signal
 means vehicular traffic may cautiously enter the intersection and proceed in the
 direction indicated by the arrow. Vehicular traffic shall yield the right-of-way to other
 vehicles and pedestrians lawfully within the intersection.
 5. A "flashing circular red" light means vehicular traffic shall stop and after stopping may
 proceed cautiously through the intersection yielding to all vehicles not required to stop
 or yield which are within the intersection or approaching so closely as to constitute a
 hazard, but then may proceed.
 6. A "flashing yellow" light means vehicular traffic shall proceed through the intersection
 or past such signal with caution.
 7. A "don't walk" light or symbol is a pedestrian signal which means that pedestrian traffic
 facing the illuminated pedestrian signal shall not start to cross the roadway in the
 direction of the pedestrian signal, and pedestrian traffic in the crossing shall proceed to
 a safety zone.
 8. A "walk" light or symbol is a pedestrian signal which means that pedestrian traffic
 facing the illuminated pedestrian signal may proceed to cross the roadway in the
 direction of the pedestrian signal and shall be given the right-of-way by drivers of all
 vehicles.

 10.16.050. Unauthorized signs, signals or markings. [Ord. 84-247 § 6.5]
 No person shall place, maintain, or display upon or in view of any person upon a street any sign,
 signal, marking, or device which purports to be or is an imitation of or resembles an official
 parking sign, curb or other marking, traffic control device or railroad sign or signal, or which
 attempts to direct the movement of traffic, or which hides from view or interferes with the
 effectiveness of any official traffic control device or any railroad sign or signal, if such sign,
 signal, marking, or device has not been authorized by the City traffic engineer and no person shall
 place or maintain any traffic sign or signal bearing thereon any commercial advertising.
 Every such prohibited sign, signal, or marking is hereby declared to be a public nuisance and the
 City Administrator is hereby empowered to remove the same or cause it to be removed without
 notice.

 unless the hours during which the device is in effect are so stated on the device.

Subject:
First Consideration: Ordinance amending chapter 10.40 entitled “Speed Restrictions” of the
Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa, to clarify the applicability of posted and code-established
speed limits. [All Wards]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.

Background:

The proposed amendment adds the phrase “unless otherwise posted or established in this
code” to clarify that the listed speed limits serve as default speeds and may be superseded by
posted signs or other speed limits adopted elsewhere in the Municipal Code. This clarification
ensures consistency with existing traffic control practices and provides clear legal authority for
enforcing posted speed limits where conditions warrant different speeds.

The added language improves enforcement clarity, reduces ambiguity, and strengthens the
legal defensibility of speed regulations without changing the intent or overall structure of the
ordinance.

Subject:
First Consideration: Ordinance amending Schedule VI Speed Limits of Chapter 10.96 entitled
“Schedules” of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa, by changing West 3rd Street from
Marquette Street to Brown Street to a 25-mph speed zone. [Ward 3]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.

Background:
West 3rd Street currently has a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour between Telegraph
Road and Brown Street, and a posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour east of Brown Street.
Prior to the conversion of a portion of 3rd Street from a one-way roadway to a two-way
roadway, the roadway operated with three travel lanes in a single direction, which provided
wider operating space and contributed to higher vehicle speeds. Following the conversion, part
of the corridor now consists of one travel lane in each direction. This change in roadway
configuration has significantly altered traffic operations and has reduced the ability of vehicles
to travel at higher speeds.

Given the current two-way configuration, the existing 35-mile-per-hour speed limit is no longer
consistent with the roadway’s function, lane arrangement, or adjacent land uses. Reducing the
speed limit to 25 miles per hour for the segment of West 3rd Street that was converted to two-
way traffic would create consistency with the adjacent segment east of Brown Street, better
align with current operating conditions, and support overall traffic safety.

For these reasons, staff recommends reducing the posted speed limit to 25 miles per hour on
West 3rd Street between Marquette Street and Brown Street.

Subject:
Resolution approving Case F25-14 being the request of Dan and Sandy Gayman for a final plat
of D&S Gayman Addition, a 3-lot subdivision on 8.44 acres located at 4104 Telegraph Road.
[Ward 1]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.

Background:
The Plan and Zoning Commission reviewed Case F25-14 at its November 4, 2025, meeting and
recommended approval subject to the listed findings and conditions:

Findings

 1. The final plat conforms to the comprehensive plan Davenport +2035.
 2. The final plat prepares the area for future development.
 3. The final plat (with conditions recommended by City Staff) will achieve consistency with
 subdivision requirements.


Conditions

 1. That the surveyor signs the plat.
 2. That the utility providers sign the plat when their easement needs have been met.
 3. Add a 15-foot utility easement along Telegraph Road.
 4. Include a note stating, "Stormwater detention and water quality treatment will not be
 required for this subdivision, but will be required upon further development of the
 property."


Background

The subject property consists of a single-family home setback approximately 450-feet from
Telegraph Road. There is a small agricultural field between the home and street that will be
subdivided to create two new residential lots. The purpose of the subdivision is to facilitate the
development of additional single-family dwellings. Access to the existing home will be
maintained via a flag lot that encompasses the existing driveway.

Comprehensive Plan

Within Existing Urban Service Area: Yes
Within Urban Service Area 2035: Yes
Future Land Use Designation

The subject property is currently designated as Residential General in the Davenport +2035
Future Land Use Map.

 1. Residential General (RG) - Designates neighborhoods that are mostly residential but
 include, or are within one-half mile (walking distance) of scattered neighborhood-
 compatible commercial services, as well as other neighborhood uses like schools,
 churches, corner stores, etc. generally oriented along Urban Corridors (UC).
 Neighborhoods are typically designated as a whole. Existing neighborhoods are
 anticipated to maintain their existing characteristics in terms of land use mix and
 density, with the exception along edges and transition areas, where higher intensity may
 be considered.


Relevant Goals to be considered in this Case: Strengthen the Existing Built Environment.

The proposed final plat complies with the Davenport +2035 proposed land use section.

Zoning

 1. R-1 Single-Family Residential District: This zoning district is intended to
 accommodate the lowest-density single-family neighborhoods within the City of
 Davenport, exhibiting a predominantly semi-suburban development pattern of large lots
 and generous yards.


Technical Review

 1. Zoning: The three-lot subdivision complies with the R-1 Single-Family Residential District
 dimensional standards. Farming Lot 2 and 3 can continue as a legal nonconforming use
 until development of the site occurs.
 2. Streets: Each lot of the subdivision maintains frontage and access to Telegraph Road.
 There are no sidewalks along this portion of the public street to connect into. No
 additional right-of-way is dedicated with this final plat. Access to Lot 1 will be
 maintained though the existing driveway on the westside of the property.
 3. Stormwater: Stormwater Management will not be required with this subdivision by may
 be required upon further development.
 4. Sanitary & Storm Sewer: There is an existing 27-inch public sanitary sewer south of
 Telegraph Road, located along Blackhawk Creek. Due to the distance from the sanitary
 sewer, development of the lots are eligible for septic systems. Storm sewer is not
 available within the vicinity of the subdivision.
 5. Other Utilities: Normal utility services are available on this site. A 15-foot utility
 easement is requested along Telegraph Road to ensure adequate access to the
 overhead utility poles and wires.
 6. Parks/Open Space: There are no impacts to parks/open space.

Subject:
Resolution approving the purchase of a replacement Hazardous Materials (HazMat) vehicle from
Reliant Fire Apparatus from Slinger, Wisconsin, for an amount not to exceed $1,800,000. [All
Wards]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.

Background:
On October 22, 2025, the City Council approved the award of a contract to Feld Fire for the
purchase of this asset. Since that time, Fire Administration has experienced ongoing difficulty
contacting the vendor to obtain responses to specific vehicle- and equipment-related questions
prior to contract execution. This level of unresponsiveness has been unsatisfactory; therefore,
staff sought pricing from an alternative vendor. Reliant Fire out of Wisconsin is a dealer for
Pierce manufacturing. Fire administration has confirmed that Pierce (Reliant Fire) can meet the
timeframe necessary to replace the current aging equipment. The agenda item currently before
the City Council is for review and approval of awarding the purchase to that alternative vendor,
keeping the dollar amount for the contract the same.

The justification for the purchase remains the same and the justification below was included in
the October 22, 2025, resolution:

The Davenport Fire Department’s Hazardous Materials Team serves Davenport, as well as Scott
County, Clinton County, and Jackson County. The Davenport Fire Department has mutual aid
agreements with several agencies within Iowa and Illinois including the Rock Island Arsenal
Army installation. In addition, the Davenport Hazardous Materials Team is part of the Iowa
Hazardous Materials Taskforce and the Iowa Weapons of Mass Destruction Strike Force. With
these partnerships, personnel and equipment may be deployed throughout the state of Iowa.
The team must have the capability to respond to hazardous materials incidents at any time and
must be able to transport required technology, mitigation supplies, and personal protective
equipment for responders to the incident.

The proposed vehicle is a forty-foot straight truck with a tandem axle which will allow up to six
personnel to respond to hazardous materials events. Once on scene, the HazMat response
vehicle is used for research, lighting, weather monitoring, donning protective equipment,
incident command, and rehabilitation of responders. Many efforts have been made in recent
years to pursue federal funding or grant support for this purchase without success. The
department can no longer afford to wait as lead times for vehicles are being quoted up to three
years. The current vehicle is approaching 30 years old and is showing signs of its age, including
stress fractures throughout the frame. These deficiencies are resulting in increased
maintenance expenses and lack of reliability despite the Davenport Fire Department’s efforts to
repair the vehicle.
Procurement of a replacement HazMat response vehicle to support Davenport Fire Department’s
Hazardous Materials Team will increase personnel safety, provide a dependable, NFPA-
compliant vehicle with lower maintenance costs, and allow continuity of operations and
response capability. The total cost is estimated around $1,800,000. This resolution will
authorize vehicle order. Payment will not be due until delivery. The FY 2028 budget will include
general obligation bonds to fund this purchase.

Subject:
Resolution accepting work completed under the Flood Mitigation | West River Drive and
Marquette Street project by Five Cities Construction Company of Coal Valley, Illinois, in the
amount of $1,891,463.40, CIP #68022. [Ward 3]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.

Background:
This project is located near the intersection of West River Drive and Marquette Street. The
scope was to construct a new underground concrete structure with two new mechanical slide
gates to better control Mississippi River flooding and provide easier access and operation of this
system for Public Works maintenance crews during flooding. The project also separated and
simplified existing storm sewer pipes so that pipes located below West 2nd Street are not
inundated by flood waters through the installation of a new gatewell system, while storm sewer
pipes located on and above W. 2nd Street, where head pressure and elevation are greater, will
bypass the gate system. The previous gate system was believed to be from the 1950’s or
1960’s and leaked, causing operational issues. Also, the configuration of pipes made it difficult
to combat flood water inside the storm sewer pipes. While the Marquette Street and River Drive
intersection will continue to flood during times of major flood stage due to overland flow, this
system will better protect the intersection during minor flood stage and during a majority of
river elevations.

The total project cost was $1,891,463.40 and was funded in CIP #68022 l Flood Mitigation:
River Drive & Marquette. This project was partially funded by grants awarded by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) ($1,265,625 or 67%) and Iowa Homeland Security
and Emergency Management ($168,750 or 9%). The remaining amount was through the
Capital Improvement Program ($457,088.40 or 24%).

Resolution awarding a contract for engineering services for the North Duck Creek Interceptor
Flow Meters to RJN Group of Downers Grove, Illinois, in the amount of $347,250, CIP #30057.
[All Wards]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.

Background:
In accordance with the Administrative Order 2013-WW-07, the City has continued performing
sanitary sewer evaluation studies (SSES) throughout the sanitary sewer system. These studies
evaluate the condition and performance of the sanitary sewer system, identify sources of
infiltration and inflow (I&I), assess system capacity during wet weather events, and recommend
cost-effective improvements and repairs. After these SSES are complete, multiple projects and
programs have followed which have performed spot repairs, sewer replacement, cured in place
sewer lining and manhole rehabilitation and reconstruction. To determine the success of the
completed projects, as well as identify future basins needing additional study, staff proposes to
install nine flow meters within branches which feed the North Duck Creek Interceptor.
Additionally, five rain gauges will be installed. This contract will provide for the acquisition,
installation, calibration, and engineering data analysis of the meters.

Flow meter data will provide information for future projects and the overall health of the
collection system.

This project will be funded through CIP #30057 | Inflow and Infiltration Removal Program.

Resolution approving the plans, specifications, form of contract, and estimate of cost for the
Pine Street (West 49th Street to West 53rd Street) Reconstruction project, CIP #35061. [Ward
2]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.

Background:
This project will reconstruct Pine Street from West 49th Street to West 53rd Street. The
proposed improvements include, but are not limited to, the furnishing of all labor, materials and
equipment necessary for the reconstruction of the existing concrete roadway, installation of
subdrains, ADA sidewalk and ramps, adjustment of all existing utility surface features to finish
grade, replacement of the adjacent driveway approaches, paint striping, topsoil, sodding, and
erosion control.

During preliminary design, the Traffic Engineering Division evaluated corridor traffic volumes,
operating speeds, turning movements, and crash history. Based on this analysis, a roadway
reconfiguration (road diet) is recommended for this segment of Pine Street, converting the
existing four-lane cross-section to a three-lane configuration. The proposed layout would
provide one through lane in each direction with a center two-way left-turn lane, consistent with
the existing lane configuration south of 49th Street.

The current average daily traffic (ADT) on this segment is approximately 9,500 vehicles per day.
A three-lane roadway has a typical operational capacity of 15,000 to 20,000 vehicles per day,
indicating adequate capacity for existing and projected traffic volumes. The proposed
configuration reduces conflict points associated with turning movements and improves overall
corridor safety. National studies indicate that road diets result in crash reductions ranging from
19% to 47%. In addition to safety benefits, road diets promote lower operating speeds and
more consistent traffic flow. A comparable four-to-three lane conversion on Hickory Grove Road
resulted in a reduction in average vehicle speeds of approximately 5 mph. The proposed
reconfiguration would also narrow the roadway footprint, reducing pavement replacement
quantities and overall impervious surface area.

This project will be funded through CIP #35061 | High-Volume Street Projects.

Resolution approving and adopting preliminary plans and specifications and plats and schedules
for the 2026 Alley Cost Share Program. [Wards 4 & 5]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.

Background:
As a part of the Alley Cost Share Program, alley reconstruction/resurfacing requests begin by
receiving a petition signed by 30% of the property owners on the block face. Staff then
provides cost estimates based on the following updated cost sharing:

 • Residential | 25% property owner/75% City funds
 • Commercial | 50% property owner/50% City funds


If more than 50% of the property owners wish to ‘opt out’ of the program, then the alley does
not move forward in the assessment process. This ‘opt out’ period has occurred, and the
following alleys have been identified to participate in the Program:

 • The north-south alley between Brady Street and Perry Street from East 14th Street to
 East 15th Street. (Resurfacing)
 • The east-west alley between West 16th Street and West 15th Street from Gaines Street
 and Scott Street. (Reconstruction).


This Program will include pavement reconstruction or milling of the existing surface and asphalt
overlay, sidewalk and ADA curb ramps as needed, and other associated work. As a part of the
procedure for Iowa Code 384.46 for Special Assessments, the City is required to complete this
Resolution.

Subject:
Resolution establishing special assessment interest rates. [All Wards]

Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.

Background:
The City of Davenport bills customers for clean water projects, alley repair, boarding up
buildings, brush and debris cleanup, building demolition, sidewalk replacement, snow removal,
tree removal, weed cutting, sewer lateral repair, and water services. Sixty days after the bill
date, outstanding balances become eligible for assessment against the property.

Properties with a balance of $500 or less are assessed to the owner's property taxes in the
following year. In contrast, balances exceeding $500 are spread out and assessed over the next
ten years. Historically, residents have been charged either 0% or 9% interest on these
balances. No interest is charged for large-scale projects that benefit the broader community,
such as streambank restabilization, and the cost is assessed at 0%. All other services were
assessed with a 9% interest rate.

The Finance Department has been directed to set the annual interest rate for all assessments in
January each year. The interest rate will be calculated by evaluating the 10-year US Treasury
yield curve, rounding the result to the nearest percentage, and adding 1%.

Based on this criterion, the proposed assessment interest rate for calendar year 2026 is 5%.
The established interest rate will align with market rates while incentivizing residents to pay.

ISSUE PAPER 26-01 | Tax Reform Implications

January 1, 2026 (S. VanDeWoestyne, B. Gerlach)

STATEMENT OF ISSUE & BACKGROUND

During the 2023 legislative session, HF718 was passed and signed by Governor Reynolds. This
legislation eliminated several previously authorized levies and consolidated them into a new general
fund levy. In addition, taxable growth is generally capped at 3% over the previous year.

The City of Davenport continues to evaluate the impact that HF718 will have on City finances in
both the immediate term and long term, however the full financial impact of this legislation will take
several years to fully understand as it phases in. Most specifically and known at this time, the law
eliminates the City’s use of the emergency tax levy and library levy.

The City of Davenport is committed to evaluating, considering, and supporting property tax reform
structures that continue to promote accountability, predictability, and transparency; provide
adequate resources to ensure public safety and other frontline service response to
residents; and equitably distributes property tax obligations among various real estate
classifications and their usage and demand of City services.

It is anticipated that further property tax reform will be introduced during the 2026 Iowa Legislative
Session. The City of Davenport supports legislation that maintains the City’s general fund budget.
In addition, the City supports the following as it pertains to discussions regarding property tax
reform; this is not meant to be an exhaustive list but should rather be construed to serve as a guide
for responding to any newly introduced legislation:

 Capped Growth | Previous property tax bills instituted caps on annual property tax growth
 including the most recently adopted legislation. While the City is generally supportive of this
 concept, there must be a recognition that the City relies on general fund property tax dollars
 to fund the majority of its public safety resources, including contracts negotiated under
 Chapter 20 which are uncapped. The City seeks recognition that property tax growth and
 public safety expenditure growth are directly linked with public safety accounting for nearly
 70% of the general fund. The City supports legislation that provides for adequate resources
 and revenues needed to cover expenditures necessary for hiring, supporting, and retaining
 professional, qualified, and highly trained public safety personnel which may require not
 having a cap on new growth.

 Transparency | The City supports transparency initiatives related to the property tax
 structure, budgeting, and the reporting of actual expenses.

 Equitable Distribution | The current property tax structure does not address equitable
 distribution of payment by property tax classifications. Consideration should be given to
 ensure that property tax classifications align with and reflect the response services required
 by local governments and demanded by end-users. Multi-residential properties are often
 large-scale users of police, fire, and code enforcement resources; however, due to previous
 property tax legislation, these properties now pay the same rollback as a residential property
 homeowner. For example, a $500,000 residential property and a $500,000 apartment
 building now have an identical tax bill, although they typically use and demand drastically
 different levels of city response services.

 Taxing Authority / Public Safety Levy | The City supports legislation that would give cities
 the ability to increase taxing authority through a local referendum for the express purpose
 of public safety.

REQUESTED ACTIONS

Oppose legislation that may arise that seeks to further cut the City’s general fund budget.

Oppose legislation that caps taxable value on new growth.

Support legislation that provides cities with alternative revenue sources.

Support legislation that demonstrates alignment between allowable property tax growth and
contracts negotiated in good faith under Chapter 20. (For example, when contract expenditures in
taxable levies are valued at 5% over prior year, a City should be able to capture up to 5% of new
valuation growth on the revenue side.)

Support legislation that removes annual growth reduction for cities that previously had the maximum
GF levy of $8.10.
ISSUE PAPER 26-02 | Tax Increment Financing

January 1, 2026 (S. VanDeWoestyne, S. Knutsen)

STATEMENT OF ISSUE & BACKGROUND
The City of Davenport utilizes Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to incent businesses that are making
a large capital investment and creating new jobs in Davenport and/or reversing blight in areas
needing redevelopment. TIF has been consistently targeted by the state legislature in past sessions
for modification. The City of Davenport, and the developers and businesses that invest in our City,
would be directly impacted by any legislation that seeks to further regulate the use of TIF.

Iowa Code 403 allows for municipalities to use Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for a variety of
economic development purposes. Davenport utilizes TIF for projects with significant job creation
and capital investment. Davenport’s standard TIF agreement provides companies with a 60%
rebate over 15 years. Since 2015, TIF has leveraged $10.25 in private investment for every $1.00
of public TIF funds. This has resulted in $619M in development in Davenport. In addition, 1,600
jobs have been created and retained through projects supported by TIF.

In a globally competitive world, TIF helps position the City of Davenport and the State of Iowa as a
business-friendly place to do business. Davenport uses economic development agreements to help
existing businesses expand and thrive in Iowa.


OPERATIONAL/FISCAL IMPACTS
Over the past 10 years the City has seen 1,600 jobs created and $619M in capital investment in
projects assisted by TIF. This capital investment has a direct effect on increasing the City’s tax base
and has led to an increase in assessed value of over $153M. This will result in an estimated $5.2M
in annual property taxes once the TIF payment schedules are complete. All other taxing jurisdictions
benefit from development incented with TIF as the City only rebates a portion of the increment back
to projects, meaning that all taxing jurisdictions see a net gain in property tax revenue.

Any legislation that seeks to limit municipalities’ use of TIF would have substantial impacts on cities
and potential economic development. The dexterity to rebate a portion of a growing company’s
property taxes or to utilize some of the property tax revenue stream to create infrastructure
improvements is a critical tool for economic growth.

ISSUE PAPER 26-03 | Tax Credit Programs

January 1, 2026 (S. VanDeWoestyne, S. Knutsen)

STATEMENT OF ISSUE & BACKGROUND
The City of Davenport utilizes many different programs to help make needed and/or necessary
development financially feasible. State tax credits provided through the Historic Preservation Tax
Credit program, Brownfield and Grayfield, Workforce Housing, and the High Quality Jobs program
help to bridge financial gaps and encourage development that might not otherwise occur. The City
of Davenport, developers and businesses that invest in our City would be directly impacted by any
legislation that seeks to limit the use of these vital tax credit programs. A brief outline for uses of all
programs is provided below.

 Historic Tax Credits: The Historic Preservation Tax Credit Program has been a vital
 component to the revitalization of Davenport’s downtown area. The HPTC is administered
 by the State and provides a 25% state income tax credit of qualified rehabilitation
 expenditures associated with the project. Since 2011, Davenport developers have received
 approximately $47M in tax credits, which resulted in over $228M in private investment in
 Davenport’s downtown and urban core neighborhoods.

 Brownfield and Grayfield Credits: Redevelopment Tax Credits for Brownfield and
 Grayfield sites are an important tool that assists properties where potential or real
 contamination is a concern or where a property is vacant, blighted or obsolete. Eight
 projects in Davenport have utilized $3.28M in this program since 2016. Together these
 projects represent over $100M in finished or planned private investment.

 Workforce Housing Tax Credits: This program provides tax credits to developers to
 provide housing. There is a focus on projects that involve abandoned, empty or dilapidated
 properties. Since 2018, 9 projects in Davenport have received a total of $3.6M in Workforce
 Housing Tax Credits. Together these projects represent over $66M of private investment in
 awarded projects

 High Quality Jobs Now Updated to be Business Incentives for Growth (BIG) These
 programs provide qualifying businesses assistance to off-set some of the costs they incur
 when then choose to locate, expand or modernize a facility in Iowa. Over the past 10 years,
 15 Davenport businesses have committed $500M in private investment in return for $9.8M
 in tax credits. We look forward to the additional flexibility of the BIG program when working
 with business expansions as well as new locations in Davenport.
OPERATIONAL/FISCAL IMPACTS

The tax credits offered by the State have helped to encourage many projects that might not
otherwise have occurred. This includes rehabilitation of long vacant properties in Downtown
Davenport and urban core neighborhoods. Many of the projects in Downtown Davenport would not
be economically feasible without the contributions of these tax credit programs. The redevelopment
equates to higher property tax dollars flowing into the community and renovated or new living
spaces for residents. If the State Legislature cuts the annual allocation of these programs, many of
the projects currently in the planning stages will not come to fruition.



REQUESTED ACTIONS

Oppose any legislation that may arise that seeks to decrease the amount of Historic Preservation
Tax Credits, Redevelopment Tax Credits for Brown and Grayfields, Workforce Housing, and
Business Incentives for Grwoth programs available for businesses and developers.
ISSUE PAPER 26-04 | Building and Development Codes

January 1, 2026 (S. VanDeWoestyne, J. Morris, R. Oswald)

STATEMENT OF ISSUE & BACKGROUND
During the 2022 legislative session, Governor Reynolds introduced an omnibus workforce housing
bill that included a section that would preempt local building and fire codes and replace them with
a State Building Code. The State Building Code as proposed would have adopted the 2015 editions
of several International Code Council model codes, two of which are the International Fire Code
and the International Building Code.

During the 2023 legislative session, several bills were introduced that would impact current
development codes, including the energy code, façade requirements, and stormwater development
requirements.

It is anticipated that during the 2026 legislative session, several bills will be considered that will
impact local control and authority over the building and development process.

The City understands the intent of legislation that makes construction more uniform for developers
across the state; however, we do not believe this should be done in a way that preempts local
municipalities, but rather done in a way that provides base uniformity across the state. This would
allow local jurisdictions to adopt amendments or new versions of the code to address safety
concerns and adequately address unique concerns that arise in municipalities.


REQUESTED ACTIONS

Oppose any bill that creates a State Building Code that does not allow for local jurisdictions to make
amendments or adopt newer versions of the code.

Support legislation that allows for local municipalities to retain local control to adequately address
development concerns as they arise.
ISSUE PAPER 26-05 | Davenport Police Response Priorities

January 1, 2026 (S. VanDeWoestyne)

STATEMENT OF ISSUE & BACKGROUND

The Davenport Police Department (DPD) serves as a cornerstone of public safety in the Quad
Cities, earning a strong and honorable reputation across Iowa and among peer agencies. With a
commitment to transparency, professionalism, and community-focused policing, DPD continues to
build trust with residents while oﬀering meaningful career paths for those who want to serve.

The mission of the Davenport Police Department is to protect and care for the well-being of our
community while providing excellence in police service. The Davenport Police Department is
committed to the values of integrity, fairness, competency, and professionalism through positive
and meaningful police-citizen interactions and partnerships; these interactions and partnerships
preserve the peace and safety of the community, making Davenport a desirable place to live.

The Davenport Police Department has an authorized strength of 167 sworn employees and 24
civilian employees. The Department handles over 94,000 calls for service annually.

Current staffing is 150 sworn.

REQUESTED ACTIONS

The City of Davenport supports the preservation of local control by the State on all matters that
impact the city.

Local police departments exist to protect the safety and well-being of their communities by
enforcing criminal laws.

The Davenport Police Department takes great pride in the strong, collaborative relationships it
has built over many years with our local, state, and federal partners and agencies.

Given the current staffing and resource shortages at the Davenport Police Department, our focus
remains on preventing crime, responding to emergencies, and investigating serious offenses.

bill that included a section that would preempt local building and fire codes and replace them with
a State Building Code. The State Building Code as proposed would have adopted the 2015 editions
of several International Code Council model codes, two of which are the International Fire Code
and the International Building Code.

During the 2023 legislative session, several bills were introduced that would impact current
development codes, including the energy code, façade requirements, and stormwater development
requirements.

It is anticipated that during the 2026 legislative session, several bills will be considered that will
impact local control and authority over the building and development process.

The City understands the intent of legislation that makes construction more uniform for developers
across the state; however, we do not believe this should be done in a way that preempts local
municipalities, but rather done in a way that provides base uniformity across the state. This would
allow local jurisdictions to adopt amendments or new versions of the code to address safety
concerns and adequately address unique concerns that arise in municipalities.


REQUESTED ACTIONS

Oppose any bill that creates a State Building Code that does not allow for local jurisdictions to make
amendments or adopt newer versions of the code.

Support legislation that allows for local municipalities to retain local control to adequately address
development concerns as they arise.

Subject:
Motion approving the Citizens Advisory Committee’s recommendations for the reprogramming
of the unspent and unobligated Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from
program Year 50 ending June 30, 2025. [All Wards]

Recommendation:
Pass the Motion.

Background:
Background:
Each year, the Citizens Advisory Committee’s (CAC) recommends allocating the unspent and
unobligated Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the prior fiscal year; as of
June 30, 2025 $199,614.33 remained in CDBG funds. The funds came from the following
programs funded in Year 50:

Iowa Legal Aid $3,859.83
City Housing Rehabilitation Staff & Supplies $77,957.84
CDBG Planning & Administration $117,796.66

According to the CAC’s approved reprogramming process, only programs funded during the
initial allocation cycle are eligible for reprogrammable funds. However, because the City has
reached the HUD mandated Public Services cap for the current program year, Public Service
programs are not eligible for reprogrammable funds.

Reprogramming Requests

Non-Public Service CDBG subrecipients with active Year 50 CDBG awards were notified of this
one-time opportunity for funding and the following request was received:

 • Housing Rehabilitation/Revitalization Fund | $199,614.33


CAC Recommendation

At the January 5, 2026 CAC meeting the committee considered the reprogramming request.
The Committee determined that the requests received were eligible and voted unanimously to
make the below recommendation:

 • Housing Rehabilitation/Revitalization Fund | $199,614.33


Following Council action, the current year’s Action Plan will be amended, with notice published
in The Quad-City Times and submission of the amendment to HUD.
