BETTENDORF — Bettendorf officials are seeking federal funding that would allow the city to buy and demolish homes in flood zones. Bettendorf City Planner John Soenksen presented the plan to apply for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds to aldermen on Monday. To apply for the funds, the city must match 15 percent of the funds, or $252,000. The aldermen authorized the money on Tuesday. The application process is overseen by the Department of Homeland Security.
