Davenport board votes to trim library director's merit increase to 2.5% to match city department heads
Summary
Trustees approved an amendment lowering the library director's annual merit increase from 3.25% to 2.5% effective January 2026, citing the need to align with other city department heads; the motion passed on a recorded roll-call vote.
The Davenport City Library Board voted to amend the library director's annual merit increase from 3.25% to 2.5%, effective January 2026, aligning the director's raise with other city department heads.
A board member summarized the rationale, saying the previous increase "went a little high" compared with other departments. After a motion and second, the chair completed a roll-call-style vote; trustees present recorded affirmative votes and the motion passed.
The change was presented under "old business" as an alignment measure with city department pay practices. No amendment to base salary or benefits beyond the stated percentage change was discussed in the transcript. The board recorded the vote and moved on to remaining agenda items.
