A judge voided $300K in harassment settlements due to lack of public council approval, upholding a separate $1.6M settlement.
A Davenport judge ruled that $300,000 in settlements to two former employees over harassment claims are invalid because the city attorney lacked proper council approval, violating Iowa law.
The settlements, signed in July 2023 before a closed council session, were not formally approved, making them unenforceable.
However, a separate $1.6 million settlement with a former city administrator was upheld after council approval.
The decision, stemming from a 2021 legal challenge, reinforces that city councils must formally approve settlements through public processes, not private negotiations.
The city may appeal.
