Cedar Rapids public improvements chief to resign in 1980

Richard L. Phillips, Cedar Rapids commissioner of streets and public improvements for 10 years, will leave Jan 2 1980 after announcing Sept 14 he would not seek another term. A key figure in the city’s growth he cites the new water pollution control plant, street and sewer projects, and downtown reconstruction as major achievements. Phillips plans future work in either government or private enterprise and may seek state posts, with a governor’s interview pending.

Foundation funds aid Cedar Rapids agencies for decades

The Community Welfare Foundation of Cedar Rapids follows Andrew Carnegie’s doctrine of trustees’ discretion, distributing earnings to local public, charitable, and educational groups since 1949. From $20,000 seed, annual gifts rose to about 20,000 in 1972 after Minnie Rubek’s bequest of roughly 325,000, benefiting 25 agencies with 108 gifts totaling 127,200 over 18 years. Trustees serve seven-year terms, meet annually in May, and aim to grow giving via bequests from at least 50 new donors. The foundation operates as a supplemental program, not competing with other endowments, with contact details for more information.
