Government notes on jail survey and a busy civic week
Johnson County seeks public input via a mail and online survey on the county jail and sheriff office as part of a joint study with the University of Iowa and firms OPN Architects and Shive-Hattery. The survey targets 3000 residents aiming for a 10 percent response while a bond proposal for a joint law enforcement facility is considered for November 2026. NASA Moon Tree Artie at Metro High School is celebrated with a naming ceremony and growth study, while Linn County backs Cedar Rapids school bonds and Marion forms an Uptown Parking Implementation Task Force to guide future parking. Community groups and schools coordinate fundraising, petitions, and public outreach across Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, and Marion.
