Architect's eight percent fee approved for Prairie High expansion
The College Community school board reluctantly OK'd an eight percent architect's fee for the Prairie High School expansion, with a $33,200 credit cutting the total to $358,362 on a $4.8 million project. The plan risks delay and inflation if the Rockford firm is replaced.

Bassett backs police tuition plan in response to Jaeger
Bassett urged Cedar Rapids to resume a police tuition reimbursement program to help officers meet education requirements. He spoke after Public Safety Commissioner Jaeger pressed the Civil Service Commission to broaden promotions to include experience, a move Bassett called a step backward. Bassett noted past budget cuts eliminated such programs in 1988 and hinted at a city election rivalry with Jaeger.
