(Davenport, IA) -- A Scott County judge is ruling that Davenport City Council recordings of meetings concerning settlement payments to former employees are not public record.
A local doctor is suing the city over settlement agreements totaling around $2-million to three former city employees that he says weren't voted on in open Council in violation of Iowa law.
Council approved a $1.6-million payout to former City Administrator, and payouts to two other employees after accusations of abuse and harassment by elected officials.
