The Davenport Public Library Board of Trustees voted unanimously Oct. 21 to approve a wording change to the library’s filming and monitoring policy that adds a reference to Iowa Code chapter 27.2 on monitoring devices in public locations.

The board approved an amendment adding a sentence to provision number 9 that directs the policy to be “in accordance with” Iowa Code chapter 27.2. Jeff Collins, the library director, said the only substantive change since the board last saw the policy was that sentence and that he recommended changing the phrase “in compliance with” to “in accordance with.”

Collins described the edit as a technical wording change tied to the state statute governing monitoring devices in public places. The meeting record shows the board made a motion to approve the revised filming and staff policy, received a second, heard Collins’s brief explanation and then approved the policy by roll call.

Board members recorded as voting “yes” during the roll call were Amanda, Joanna, Honey, Joe, Shelley, Malvika, Michael and the chair; the motion passed unanimously. The transcript did not identify who made the original motion or who seconded it by name.

No further amendments were offered in the meeting. After the board’s vote the meeting moved on to other business and later adjourned.
