Kim Reynolds is working as an expert witness in a private property lawsuit, backing a family that is seeking millions of dollars from neighbors in a zoning dispute. The outside work by Department of Administrative Services Director Kurtenbach is unusual for an agency leader.

FILE - In this Sept. 14, 2012 file photo, Iowa State President Steven Leath speaks he is officially installed as the university's 15th president during a ceremony in Ames, Iowa. Leath caused &quot;substantial damage&quot; to a university airplane he was piloting when it made a hard landing at an Illinois airport last year - a costly incident kept quiet for 14 months. Reports obtained by The Associated Press show both wings suffered damage after Leath failed to navigate windy conditions and hit the runway at the Central Illinois Regional Airport in Bloomington, Ill. The university confirmed the incident Friday, Sept. 23, 2016, after AP inquiries, saying it paid for $12,000 in repairs itself rather than file an insurance claim.
