Paul Vasquez

Second Ward council seat vacancy filled

None — this is a governance appointment with no direct cost.

IT ordinance and independence of Civil Rights Commission and Library

No direct fiscal impact this session, but a transfer of oversight could change how library funding decisions are made.

Affordable housing and rental code enforcement

Your rent could go down or you could get a credit if the ordinance applies to your building—but landlords may absorb new costs or pass them along.

Estimated $237M-$295M, split 50/50 between Iowa and Illinois using federal and state funds.

Electrical code conformity with state code

Humane Society of Scott County special meeting

The current contract costs $800,000 a year; the Humane Society wants $1.1 million plus $300,000 capital with 5% yearly hikes, and the six-month extension alone tops $800,000 — none of it in the current budget.

Contracts add up to more than $12 million, largely funded through federal PROTECT grant program dollars.

Proposed memorial park at the 324 Main Street site

Levee Inn (Municipal Inn) restoration funding

The restoration campaign targets $300,000, and the city might chip in under $92,000 toward stabilization.

Year 53 Application and Evaluation Criteria

The criteria will determine which community projects qualify for Year 53 funding.

Duck Creek Trail reroute under Division Street

$205,200 state grant for the trail project.

Fire apparatus replacement purchases

Up to $2.855 million total across two fiscal years for fire equipment.

Samuel Huff separation and contract terms

Taxpayers could be on the hook for six months' severance (about half his annual salary) if contract terms aren't enforced.

Brady Street rezone (REZ26-07)

Year 51 Audit Extension Requests

Extension of audit deadlines could affect grant compliance and funding for community programs, though specific dollar amounts aren't yet public.
