Council approves $209,900 demolition contract for 711 W. Third Street; one abstention recorded
Summary
The council awarded a contract to Valley Construction of Rock Island to demolish 711 West Third Street for $209,900 and recorded public comment about the property's owner and related neighborhood concerns.
Davenport — The Davenport City Council voted May 14 to award a contract to Valley Construction of Rock Island for demolition of the property at 711 West Third Street for $209,900.
During public comment and council discussion Alderman Kelly noted a resident previously sought assistance for the same property and said the situation included overlapping requests for city support. ‘‘This gentleman, mister Leandro, is interestingly 1 in this building last week,’’ Kelly said. Kelly said she had intended to ask about related neighborhood assistance when voting.
The council moved and called the roll. The clerk announced eight yes votes and one abstention; a council member stated they were ‘‘oustaying due to conflict of interest as I stated last week.’’ The resolution passes and the contractor will proceed per the awarded contract.
Council members did not specify additional funding sources during the discussion on the record; no related ordinance or funding amendment was recorded in the meeting transcript. The motion authorized the demolition contract only. The council’s roll call for the item was read aloud by the clerk before the vote was recorded.
