Cedar Rapids library term lengths corrected in 1950s plan
Cedar Rapids Mayor Meaghan announced action to align the 5-member library board terms with state law June 1958. The overhaul sets 6-year terms starting July 1 with staggered expirations and a new appointment procedure for board members, ending the long standing April 7 expirations. The move follows years of misapplied 5-year terms since 1921 and 1913 changes.
