Votes at a glance: animal‑services contract approved; landscaping contract tabled; Stompbox license added

Davenport, Iowa — The Davenport City Council took several formal actions Wednesday, approving an animal‑services agreement, tabling a landscaping contract for further information, and approving a temporary liquor license for a local brewery's event.

Animal‑services contract: By unanimous roll call the council approved an agreement with the Humane Society of Scott County for up to one year of animal protection services at $20,000 per month and up to three years of animal shelter services at $80,000 per month. The resolution passed on a roll‑call vote with all nine members voting yes.

Landscaping contract tabled: Council considered a one‑year renewal with Delph Landscape and Irrigation for $14,200 but Alderwoman Burkholder moved to table the item for one cycle, citing outstanding questions and the need for additional information. The motion to table passed on roll call (eight yeses, one no), so the contract will return to a future meeting after staff provides requested details.

Stompbox Brewing license: Council suspended the rules to add and approve a temporary Class C liquor license and temporary outdoor area for Stompbox Brewing at 210 East River Drive for a select event June 20–21. The council said the item was added because a clerical error prevented earlier committee scheduling and the temporary permit was approved by roll call.

Appointments and proclamation: The council also approved three appointments (Carlton Wills to the Scott County Public Safety Authority; Kathleen Townsley to the Design Review Board; Noah Treddudsdale to the Civil Rights Commission) and read a proclamation recognizing National Immigrant Heritage Month. Several items were adopted on the consent agenda by a unanimous roll call vote.
