The Davenport City Council convened on June 26, 2024, with a moment of silence followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Alderman Reinhart. The meeting commenced with a roll call, confirming the presence of nine council members.

City Administrator Miss Merritt provided updates, highlighting that the next council meeting is scheduled for July 2 at 5:30 PM. She also announced the grand opening of the Dose Splash Pad in Play Park, set for the following morning at 10:30 AM, inviting the community to enjoy festivities including hot dogs and snow cones.

A significant moment of the meeting was the reading of a proclamation declaring June 28, 2024, as \"Community is Stronger than Cancer Day\" in Davenport. Alderman McGinnis, who has personal ties to the cause, emphasized the importance of emotional and social support for cancer patients, a service pioneered by Gilda's Club nearly 25 years ago. The proclamation recognizes the growing number of cancer survivors and the community's role in supporting those affected by cancer.

The council unanimously approved the proclamation, which aims to inspire and connect the community in the fight against cancer. Alderman McGinnis accepted the proclamation on behalf of Gilda's Club Quad Cities, reinforcing the message of hope and solidarity in the face of cancer.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for public comments, fostering community engagement in local governance.
