• Davenport City Council approves nearly $400K settlement with former assistant city attorney in 6-5 vote (wqad.com) — Davenport residents should know the City Council narrowly approved a $397,500 settlement with former assistant city attorney Mallory Bagby after her civil rights lawsuit, bringing recent legal payouts to about $2.3 million. The city denies wrongdoing, but the 6-5 vote followed public criticism from residents who urged leaders to fight the case in court instead of using taxpayer dollars for another settlement.
   

• QCA pushes to build out bike trail system (ourquadcities.com) — Trail planners and advocates across the Quad Cities are working to better connect bike paths into neighborhoods and neighboring towns, including tying routes into Davenport's growing trail investments.
