In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a significant Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Scott County and the cities of Bettendorf and Davenport. This agreement aims to enhance emergency medical services through collaborative funding efforts.

Under the terms of the MoU, both cities will contribute $150,000 each for two fiscal years—covering the current fiscal year 2025 and the upcoming fiscal year 2026. This financial support is intended to bolster the county's capital financing for its ambulance services, reducing reliance on debt financing.

The agreement highlights the importance of partnerships between local governments in improving community services and ensuring sustainable funding for essential emergency medical programs.
