NEWSLETTER
| Volume 15 | Issue 11 | November 2014 |
Walcott Trust and Savings Bank has made
several changes in the last 9 months! We
hope most of you know that a decision was
made to open up a branch location in
Davenport to serve our customers who live
and work outside of Walcott. The branch
location is just that. Another location that is
more convenient to get too when you are in
“town”. Walcott Bank is committed to keeping the main bank in Walcott where we
opened the doors over 80 years ago.
The bank employees are very excited
about the new location and much thought and
energy has been spent getting the doors open
which should be right around the corner. In addition to our new location, the
bank has spent time developing a new website that we find more informative and
user friendly. Our online banking now offers financial tools to help you manage
your expenses and allows you to track where you money is spent each month.
You may have also noticed that we updated our bank logo. The new logo
represents a piece of our main location while joining the letters WTSB to represent our new move into Davenport.
There are also several new faces at our bank. We have hired several new
employees to help staff our new location and they have been in Walcott training.
The bank’s mission says in part that our employees are our most important assets
and we will commit to developing and maintaining highly trained and motivated
staff to serve our valuable customers.
The bank intends to maintain the small community banking philosophies it
had had over the last 80 years moving forward. You will not call into the bank
and get a machine answering your call. When you need financial advice, you
can simply come into the bank and talk
with a person you know and trust. Many
of our customers have been with us for a
very long time and we value their business.
As we prepare to open the doors at
our new location, we reflect back on the
last successful 80 years with a smile. We
are truly SAFE, SOLID and SECURE and
we are so grateful that our roots are in the
wonderful community of Walcott.

CITY SNOW POLICIES
Ready for winter weather? It will be here before we
know it! It is easier for City staff to clear snow off streets
when cars are not parked on them but if it is necessary
to use street parking during a snowfall, staff encourages
you to adhere to the following Snow Emergency
Parking Regulations:
• All vehicles and equipment shall be parked on
the side with even addresses on even numbered calendar days and on the side with
odd numbered addresses on odd numbered calendar days.
• If a snow emergency is declared, vehicles
and/or equipment may be towed if they are
parked in violation of the snow emergency parking regulations.
Residents are reminded that it is the property owners’
responsibility to remove snow and ice accumulations
promptly from sidewalks. Also, corner lots are required
to clear the snow from the access ramps to allow unimpeded passage for pedestrian traffic. Please make
arrangements, including when you are away for a few
days/weeks, to have your sidewalks maintained at all
times. When shoveling or snow blowing your driveway
and sidewalk, please DO NOT shovel or blow snow into
the street. This could create road hazards and is a violation of City Code, subject to a civil penalty of up to
$750. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!
The Walcott Auxiliary #548 is seeking names and
addresses of area service people so they may be
remembered with a Christmas gift. If you know
someone who is serving our country, please notify
Loretta Beitel, 284-6000, so we can send him/her a
monetary gift for Christmas. We would appreciate
receiving the names as soon as possible so they
receive the gift in time for Christmas. Thank you.

The Scott County Library
System offers a new database of
music called freegal music. Over 7
million MP3 songs, including
today’s top hits, are available for
free for iPads, iPhones, Android
tablets and smartphones.
Instructions of how to download
this free app are available at any Scott County library
station and on the library website, www.scottcountylibrary.org. Please remember that you can also check out
e-books with Rivershare Overdrive and One-Click
Digital, e-magazines with Zinio, and children’s stories
on Tumble Books, all available with instructions on the
website and in the library stations.
There is no new news about the library moving to
the old meat market building. There are several issues
that need to be considered before Scott County is willing to purchase the building for a new Walcott station.
These include roof leaking, mold, and an open stairway
to the basement. Library Director Tricia Kane and the
Scott Library Board are pursuing cost-analysis information, and the Scott County Board of Supervisors is
aware of the need for a larger building for the Walcott
station in the center of town.
The winners of the Teen book drawing in
September were Joey Castel and Isabella Castel. Joey
won the book, Divergent and Isabella won The Fault in
Our Stars.
Preschool story hours will be on November 5, 12,

Kevin Toft, Scott County Sno-Seekers, stated they are looking for a fixed location for their annual swap meet, held on
the first Sunday in November each year. He stated they are
no longer able to use their past location and they have a temporary site for this year but would like to utilize a location in
Walcott, preferably Victory Park, for following years. He
stated set-up would start around 7:30 a.m. and they are done
by 1:00 p.m. They provide toilet facilities, garbage cans,
clean-up, and their own food trailer. Brockmann expressed
concerns about vehicles driving on park due to the condition
of the grounds. It was discussed that Council could approve
closing sections of the side streets around the park, allowing
for the truck and trailers to park around the park instead of on
the grass. Toft stated they have approximately 200 – 250
people throughout the meet and 30 – 50 vendors. No objections to the request were expressed. Rickertsen will place
