Board approves revised trustee code of ethics and job description
Summary
Trustees voted to approve updates to the library trustee code of ethics and the trustee job description at the July 15 meeting after discussion and roll-call vote; staff said the updated documents incorporate prior feedback and will be used going forward.
The Davenport Public Library Board of Trustees approved updates to the trustee code of ethics and the trustee job description at the July 15 meeting.
A motion to approve the changes was moved and seconded; trustees then called the roll. Amanda (trustee) voted yes, Joanna (trustee) voted yes, Honey (trustee) voted yes, Jerry (trustee) yes, Joe (trustee) yes, Michael (trustee) yes and Tom (board chair) recorded his vote as yes. Shelley and Malvika were not present. Jeff (staff member) said the updated job description reflects prior board discussion and that trustees had signaled they intended to use the document in practice. The motion passed on the roll call.
Why it matters: the code of ethics and job description guide trusteesconduct and responsibilities; adopting updated versions clarifies expectations for the board.
Ending: Trustees thanked those who helped draft the updates and moved on to committee-assignment planning for the coming year.
