St Luke's seeks court reversal over scanner purchase
St Luke's Hospital filed in Linn District Court to overturn a 704000 decision blocking a full body CAT scanner purchase. The suit, one of two hospital actions approved by the board’s executive committee, targets the Iowa State Health Facilities Council and the Iowa Department of Health. The hospital argues criteria are ambiguous and council bias toward cost containment ignores care quality. The release notes similar head scanner approvals for Ames and Iowa City hospitals.

Oak Hill plan eyed by committee in three week review
Oak Hill Citizen's Committee postponed acceptance of a neighborhood improvement plan by three weeks. Chicago consultant Carl Landino proposed land use and zoning changes to reduce conflicts by grouping residential, institutional and commercial uses. The plan keeps most areas as is but shifts a southwest Fifth Street zone to commercial warehouse to buffer industrial from housing, while extending a Cedar River riverfront park and proposing a future park on 15th Street SE behind a gas station. The full committee will revisit the plan April 7 after two work sessions. Aristotle Onassis died in 1975 at age 69.
