Summary
Bettendorf City Council unanimously approved awarding a contract and authorizing bonding for the Devil’s Glen Road widening and approved plan specifications and the form of contract for a 50 Third Avenue widening project at its March 4, 2025 meeting.
Bettendorf City Council unanimously approved action on two connected roadway projects during its March 4, 2025 meeting, authorizing a contract and bonding for the Devil’s Glen Road widening and approving plan specifications and the form of contract for the 50 Third Avenue widening.
The first action was a resolution awarding the contract and approving the contract to be bonded for the Devil’s Glen Road widening project covering the segment from 50 Third Avenue to Crow Lake Drive. Council member Brown moved the resolution; a second was offered but not named on the record. The council approved the resolution by roll call vote with all members present voting aye.
Council members then opened a public hearing on the 50 Third Avenue widening project. City staff confirmed that notice had been published and that an affidavit of publication was on file; the council recorded that no written correspondence had been received and no members of the public spoke during the hearing. After closing the hearing, Council member Naumann moved a resolution approving the plan specifications and form of contract for the 50 Third Avenue widening project (Devil’s Glen Road to Middle Road). The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.
Council members said the work is part of the city’s capital improvement program and noted the items had been discussed previously at the Committee of the Whole. The meeting record did not include construction schedules, contract amounts, or funding sources for the projects.
The council did not take public testimony at the hearing and did not record any written objections; staff indicated the affidavit of publication is on file. Next steps were not specified at the meeting; the motions as approved authorize contract execution consistent with the awarded contract and the approved plan specifications.
Speakers and council members on the record included the presiding mayor (unnamed on the record), staff member Michelle (roll call/administrative duties), Council member Brown (mover on the contract award resolution), Council member Naumann (mover on the plan-specs resolution), and council members Kosinski, Jaeger, Sechsler, Baden and Maiden, who voted aye on the items.
