How Do What’s Right Works
• Individual submits a tip
• Davenport Police receive tip in office that is staffed 24
hours/day, 7 days/week.
• Supervisor reviews tip, assesses threat and submits to
next level supervisor.
• Shift Commander completes assessment. Makes
decision to have emergency response, call in detectives
to investigate further or assign for follow up.
• Level of threat determines if a phone call, text message
and/or e-mail is disseminated to an identified group of
employees.
• Threat assessment may involve communication and
partnerships with mental health professionals.
“Do What’s Right”
• Encourage citizens to report what they see or
know, in a timely manner
• Every Smart Phone now can be surveillance
camera
• Totally Anonymous
• Program name is based on inherent need to
save/protect self, family and friends
• Work with outside agencies to get treatment, not
incarceration.

Planned Institutional Districts
Generalized Approval Process for
Rezoning to PID, Planned Institutional
District
Roy DeWitt
City of Davenport - CPED
The process is much like a petition for rezoning.
One major difference is that the applicant is
required to make a good faith effort to conduct a
neighborhood meeting at least 60 days in
advance of actually applying for the rezoning.
The application essentially consists of a land use
plan and narrative explaining the project.
A transportation study, stormwater plan and other
technical details are also to be included.
Once the application is filed, Planning staff will work
with the applicant to conduct a public meeting.
Instead of sending notice to properties 200 feet from
the boundary, for PID the requirement is 500 feet.
Planning will also work with the applicant to identify
any neighborhood organizations and others of this
meeting.
A public hearing before the Plan and Zoning
Commission is also required.
Again, the City will notify property owners within
500 feet of this public hearing.
Following the Public Hearing, the Plan and
Zoning Commission will make its
recommendation to the City Council, taking into
account testimony, facts, and staff’s
recommendation.
As an ordinance, the Council requires three
readings in order to pass.
At the initial Committee of the whole meeting,
there is to be another Public Hearing. Owners
within 500 feet will be notified again.
Assuming the PID is passed, any changes have to
go through an amendment procedure.
Minor amendments, generally less than 10% in
density, size, reductions of setback, etc can be
considered administratively.
Major amendments, over 10%, must go through
the whole process again.
Any development will go through a site plan
review process prior to issuing building permits.
Pre-Application Timeline Prior to
the PID Process
• NRC represented neighbor interests
• St. Ambrose heard neighbors would like:
▫ Adequate time to review documents
▫ An opportunity to see adjustments as a result of
open meetings before formal submission to City
▫ To have opportunities for dialogue
▫ To see proposed changes submitted to the City
and the City response to these proposals
Pre-Application Process
• There will be a 90-day Pre-application Process
• Will follow general time guidelines set forth in
Main Campus PID for St. Vincent’s Center PID
• Guidelines include:
▫
▫
▫
▫
Draft application review prior to City submission
NRC open meetings to review and discuss draft
Consideration and re-consideration of comments
Final review by NRC prior to filing application
with the appropriate City office
▫ Process will then follow PID as outlined
Ground Rules for Open Dialogue
• Openly share your ideas and perspectives.
• Listen to others while waiting to be recognized
with the floor
• Keep comments respectful
• Keep comments on topic, avoiding redundancy
• Keep an open mind regarding comments
• We desire a constructive and productive space
for dialogue that affirms dignity and worth.
