Two top officials in Davenport may lose their jobs. Thursday Mayor Bill Gluba announced the possible firing of city administrator Craig Malin and corporation counsel Tom Warner.
Their firing, or resignations, will be voted on Friday during a special meeting of the city council.
Gluba says he's lost confidence in both men following the discovery of an incentive, he says Malin worked out with the developer and contractor for the new casino in north Davenport - that the city would pay to grade the site - and didn't tell him or the council. And that will cost the city an additional 1.6 to 2 million dollars.
Aldermen thought the development agreement called for the city to pay only to extend Elmore Avenue, not to pay the additional cost of grading the 40-acre site.
The mayor says they might have approved the extra cost anyway, but were never informed about it. He says both Malin and Warner have done good work for the city, but this time, in his words, "stepped over the line."
Malin became city administrator in Davenport in 2001.
