Cedar Rapids appoints E. J. Keough as director of inspectors
Emmett J. Keough 54 was appointed Thursday as Cedar Rapids first director of inspectors by a 44 to 2 vote amid a firestorm between Safety Commissioner Bob Johnson and two other councilmen. Keough will head building, electrical, plumbing and heating departments effective July 1 after acting inspector Leo Wilson resigns June 15 to join the City Plan Commission as assistant to the planning director. Johnson defended the appointment, contending Keough meets the ordinance’s professional engineer requirement, while Shank and Halvorson opposed, arguing the post should require a licensed engineer and pay is too high.
