Court finds Cedar Rapids Council did not violate open meetings law
A Linn County judge dismissed Bob Teig's 2021 suit alleging the Cedar Rapids City Council violated Iowa open meetings law in hiring Alissa Van Sloten as city clerk. The ruling says the council did not close or manipulate the process, and Van Sloten was hired in open session after consensus. Teig plans to appeal or seek reconsideration.
