Davenport Civil Rights Commission elects 2026 officers; transcript shows inconsistent spellings for some commissioners' names
Summary
The commission elected Mike Guster as chair, Frank Holly as vice chair and a commissioner identified as Jeff (transcribed variously as Jeff Russo and Jeff Fanzoo) as secretary during its Jan. 13, 2026 meeting; the record contains inconsistent spellings that the commission should clarify in its minutes.
During its Jan. 13, 2026, meeting the Davenport Civil Rights Commission held annual officer elections.
An unnamed commissioner nominated incumbent Mike Guster for chair; the commission approved the nomination by voice vote. Commissioners nominated Frank Holly for vice chair; that nomination was approved. For secretary, Charlene Upchurch Taylor declined a nomination; another commissioner nominated Jeff Russo. The record later identifies the new secretary as "Jeff Fanzoo" in the same meeting. The transcript therefore contains inconsistent renderings of the secretary's name.
The commission announced the new 2026 leadership as Mike Guster, chair; Frank Holly, vice chair; and Jeff (transcribed as Russo and as Fanzoo), secretary. The meeting record does not include detailed roll-call tallies for the officer elections beyond the voice confirmations recorded on the public transcript.
Because the transcript includes multiple spellings for the same participants (notably the secretary and at times the vice chair), reporters and the public should rely on the official minutes or the commission’s docket to confirm exact spellings for formal records.
The meeting proceeded to old business after the elections.
