Bettendorf Council approves street reconstruction resolution, advances sewer-rate ordinance and reappoints park board members
Summary
At its June 2 meeting the Bettendorf City Council unanimously approved a resolution to proceed with a street reconstruction project (transcript alternately refers to Glen/Lehi Street), advanced a sewer utility ordinance on second reading, and approved two Park Advisory Board reappointments after one member recused.
The Bettendorf City Council on June 2 moved forward on several routine but consequential items: it approved a resolution to authorize plans, specifications and a contract for a street reconstruction project, passed a sewer-utility ordinance at its second reading and reappointed two members to the Park Advisory Board with one councilor recusing from that vote.
Council Member Sechsler moved a resolution described in the meeting as approving "plans, specifications and form of contract for the Lehi Street protection project from 19th Street to 21st Street." The mayor had earlier described the item as the "Glen Street reconstruction project." After a roll call, the council approved the resolution; the meeting record states the motion passed unanimously.
Council Member Flaherty presented the ordinance amending city-code sections related to sewer utilities (transcript references: City Code Section 8-2-7(h); Solid Waste Enterprise Activities 8-3(b)(14); Stormwater Utilities City Code Section 9-1-7) and moved approval of the ordinance at its second reading. The council voted and the second reading passed unanimously; the mayor said one more reading would follow before final adoption.
A resolution reappointing Betsy Flaherty and Greg Machetta to the City of Bettendorf Park Advisory Board was moved and seconded. Contemporary meeting text records that Council Member Flaherty recused herself from the roll call on that item; the remaining council members voted to approve the reappointments.
Michelle (the roll-caller) confirmed that notice for the public hearing was published and that no written correspondence had been received on the reconstruction project. The council approved the consent agenda with a unanimous roll call and adjourned.
The transcript contains inconsistent street-name references ("Glen" vs. "Lehi"/"Lehi Street") in the public hearing and motion; the council record should be consulted to confirm the official project name and contract details before implementation.
