Meeting notices were sent to residents on November 29, 2000. In case you were not able to attend the meeting,a summary of the main points is listed below. • The City installed a 600-ft long temporary flood control structure on December 7 and 8, 2000, at the Maplewood Golf Course along the Cedar River. The temporary structure is intended to decrease the possibility of flooding within the Maplewood Neighborhood if Cedar River flows increase above 9,000 cubic feet per second. • If a resident is interested in purchasing flood insurance,the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP) suggests that you first call your insurance agent. If your agent does not write flood insurance or you don't have an agent,the NFIP suggests that you call 1-888- CALL FLOOD,ext.445 to obtain the names of agents in your area who provide flood insurance. There may be a 30-day waiting period before the policy is activated. • The City developed an Emergency Response Plan that will be implemented in case of a flooding emergency on the Cedar River. The plan is summarized on the back side of this page. • The City is planning to develop preliminary engineering and architectural designs for a permanent solution(i.e. construction of an earthen levee or concrete floodwall along the river)to the recently identified flooding hazard. At this time,construction of a permanent structure is anticipated to occur in late 2001. The exact date of construction will depend on the timing of project permit approvals. If you have any questions related to this project,please call Gary Schimek, Surface Water Utility Project Manager, at 425-430-7205,or Ron Straka, Surface Water Utility Supervisor, at 425-430-7248.
