Cedar Rapids cuts force transit chief Hoekstra to leave
Nine working days remain as Bill Hoekstra 55 prepares to depart Cedar Rapids. Hoekstra, longtime transit and parking chief, leaves after 31 years with the city amid a Hall reorganization that eliminates up to 50 positions and shifts to a council-manager system. His $109,241 salary stands as the highest among those losing city jobs. Prosser says the changes will address a budget crisis and create a more collaborative city government.
