(Davenport, IA) -- A demand letter does indeed exist.
The City of Davenport says despite a reported email thread to the contrary, there is a demand letter from former City Administrator Corri Spiegel that led to a 1.6-million-dollar separation agreement between the two.
The city says they'll provide a copy of the letter if the court handling a Freedom of Information request from a concerned citizen to release the letter orders them to do so.
The State Auditor is investigating a potential violation of Iowa's open records law over the agreement, which was made in October, but kept a secret until after the November election, and not approved by City Council until December.
