Council advances first consideration of alley vacation (case ROW25-01) after unanimous vote
Summary
The Davenport City Council voted 9-0 on March 26 to advance the first consideration of an ordinance (case ROW25-01) to vacate a portion of alley right-of-way north of Locust Street; the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended denial.
The Davenport City Council on Wednesday advanced the first consideration of an ordinance (case ROW25-01) to vacate a portion of alley right-of-way located north of Locust Street between Bell Avenue and Doug Will Be Street, moving the item to a second reading after a 9-0 roll-call vote.
The Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended denial of the vacation. The council’s first-reading vote does not finalize the action; it schedules the ordinance for the next consideration, when further debate and a final vote may occur.
Alderman Jochen, speaking during the discussion, said his vote at this first reading reflected his desire to continue the conversation and move the item forward to subsequent readings so the council could examine it more fully. No members of the public registered comments on the ordinance during the meeting.
The council’s formal roll call for first consideration recorded nine affirmative votes and no opposing votes; the motion and second were made from the floor but the transcript did not specify which council members moved or seconded the motion.
Because this is a first consideration, the ordinance remains subject to additional readings, public comment and any amendments before final adoption.
