Davenport approves new employment agreement for interim city administrator
Members of the Davenport City Council approved a resolution for a new employment agreement for interim city administrator Mallory Merritt.
The resolution passed in an eight to two vote. The deal supersedes any prior agreement made between Merritt and Davenport, including a memorandum of agreement signed last November. Residents addressed concerns of conflict of interest between Merritt and her husband, who is also a city employee.
Alderwoman at Large Jazmin Newton addressed concerns of Merritt’s salary rate
and the steps needed for the City moving forward. According to council members, Merritt will not be applying for the position and hopes to have the position filled permanently by September 1.
