The City of Bettendorf Committee of the Whole meeting on June 15, 2026, included a presentation from the East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA) regarding their Home Repair Grant Program focused on lead paint remediation and healthy homes improvements for low to moderate income residents. The program offers grants with no fixed cap, averaging around $20,000 but potentially up to $70,000 per home, and includes contractor services managed by ECIA. The council also reviewed and approved insurance renewals for the city, noting a total premium of $1,354,414 with a 6.29% decrease from the previous year, including property, liability, and workers compensation coverage. Additionally, the council discussed and approved consent agenda items including a $60,000 change order for street patching around the public works building, and a contract for software services with a three-year commitment but annual payment terms. Budget reallocations for park capital improvement projects were also addressed, with $75,000 moved from contingency funds to cover project overruns and emergency repairs. The meeting concluded with recognition of the city's financial reporting awards and preparation for the next council meeting.
