William “Bill” Hubbard
Age: 82. 1960s councilman, mayor (1966-67), downtown businessman (Jackson’s) and electrical contractor now living in Coos Bay, Ore., a shaker who steadfastly supported a local human rights ordinance, and a downtown urban renewal project against fierce opposition. His tough stance with neighboring governmental jurisdictions helped create the tenor of modern intergovernmental relationships, leading to charging fees to University Heights for city services, plus receiving county contributions for library service and senior center use. Coralville’s revolt produced its modern offering of all city services on its own, while other area towns reinforced efforts to develop their own libraries.
