Former Davenport Fire Chief Lynn Washburn has filed a complaint with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission accusing the city and City Administrator Corri Spiegel of harassment, sexual harassment and termination, with age and gender believed to be factors. Washburn filed the complaint Feb. 8, 2018. Washburn was terminated by Spiegel on July 27, 2017, three days after being placed on administrative leave. She appealed to the city Civil Service Commission on the grounds she was entitled to a job in the department commensurate with her civil service status. The commission ruled in her favor, a decision the city appealed to Scott County District Court. That case is pending.
