Davenport residents spoke at Davenport’s council meeting Wednesday asking the council to change the language on an ordinance for maintaining boulevards and private property. The changes would set new requirements for drainage areas, like creeks and retention ponds.
In response, several aldermen had stories to tell about drainage problems in their wards, whether it was water backing up near shopping centers or washing out part of a creek bank.
In the end, the council voted to approve the second consideration of the ordinance but asked city staff to adjust and tighten the language to ease residents concerns before the vote on the third and final consideration of the ordinance.
