Without public discussion by council members, the Eldridge City Council voted unanimously Monday to remove Paula Steward from the city s utility board.
At a meeting Tuesday evening, Eldridge s utility board tabled an action item that would have rescinded authorization for a third-party investigation into the city s complaints against two utility employees.
Eldridge s utility board will hire its own firm to investigate allegations against employees who were placed on leave in an ongoing rift between the board and city administration.
