# SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING 10.07.2026


**Body:** Davenport Public Meetings
**Date:** October 08, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

Davenport’s special City Council meeting, dated October 7, 2026 in the title (the metadata timestamp is October 8 UTC), focused on filling the vacant Second Ward council seat. After discussing six applicants and thanking them for their willingness to serve, council members cited Bob Ingram’s more than 30 years on the Planning and Zoning Commission, including five years as chair, as relevant experience that could help him begin the role quickly. Members also noted the potential effect of his appointment on the Planning and Zoning Commission and expressed support for other applicants remaining involved or running in the next election.

Council adopted a resolution appointing Bob Ingram to the Second Ward seat by roll-call vote; the transcript records one “no” vote from Alderperson Blunk, with the other clearly audible votes in favor. The meeting then adjourned, with the council scheduled to reconvene for a Committee of the Whole meeting. No procurement, contracting, budget, or purchasing activity was identified.
