Davenport council amends and approves purchase of two police interceptors for $95,130

The Davenport City Council on Feb. 25 amended and approved a resolution to purchase police vehicles under the State of Iowa Department of Administrative Services contract.

Alderman Tim Dunn moved to suspend the rules and read an amendment that changed the original purchase to "a resolution approving the purchase of 2 Ford interceptors from Stivers Ford of Waukee, Iowa in the amount of $95,130 using the state of Iowa Department of Administrative Services contract number 24051A." Dunn announced the amendment request and asked for a motion; the council recorded a motion and a second and the clerk called the roll on the amendment.

The clerk recorded votes for council members and reported 10 'yes' votes on the amendment. The council then voted on the amended resolution; the clerk again recorded 10 'yes' votes and the amended resolution to purchase the vehicles was approved.

There was no public comment on the item at the time the amendment was considered. The resolution references state contract number 24051A with Stivers Ford of Waukee, Iowa.
