Cedar Rapids council moves to overhaul flood program oversight
The Cedar Rapids council, led by Mayor Ron Corbett and four allies, votes to make flood-recovery director Greg Eyerly report to the council rather than City Manager Jim Prosser. Critics question legality under the 2005 City Charter and wonder about chain of command, including Rita Rasmussen's reporting line. The measure awaits formal approval at the April 6 meeting as Charter questions linger.
