1986: Eldridge city administrator resigns; takes job in Waverly

Feb. 5, 1986: Eldridge city administrator Don Sandor announced he would resign to take a similar position in Waverly. Sandor had served as administrator since 1982, and his announcement came as a surprise to members of the city council. He said it was a very hard decision to make. “Things are going well here, and no one was pushing me to leave. Waverly offers me experience I couldn’t get here, although the experience I acquired in Eldridge will go a long way to ensure a successful career in city management.”
