# CITY COUNCIL MEETING 11.10.2026

The Davenport City Council meeting was held November 10, 2026. Procurement-related discussion focused on the river railroad-crossing quiet-zone project: staff said the work within city right-of-way was completed under a city-held contract that had been bid out, and the work within CPKC’s right-of-way was also reported complete. The project is now awaiting submission to the Federal Railroad Administration for official designation; no new contract award or procurement vote was taken. Staff also gave an update on the Eastern Bridge, noting that remaining safety work and the path beneath the bridge still needed completion, with a firmer schedule expected soon. A consultant was preparing a draft final report, but no related contract decision was discussed.

The council unanimously approved a beer and liquor license application after suspending the rules; staff said the applicant’s dram insurance submission to the state had been late. This was a licensing action, not a procurement award. The council voted 10–0 against the second consideration of an ordinance changing the city administrator recruitment and appointment process, and voted 10–0 to table proposed amendments to the council’s rules of order for one cycle. No other specific spending allocations, bids, or contract awards were identified.
