Therefore, after the flood of 2008, increasing the to existing levee. flood protection level became a top priority for the city. At the end of 2011, the city hired a consultant for preliminary Flood of 2008 design and modeling of the Cedar River. For two years, this initial work involved much coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. By early 2014, the city’s consultant started final design and the work to obtain permits from the Corps. Extensive hydraulic modeling of the river was completed— following all U.S. Army Corps of Engineer’s design standards— to determine the proposed increase in the levee protection level would have a “no rise” condition for properties upstream, downstream, or across the river. Approval was issued on June 28, 2017, to allow increasing the levee height to 104.9'. Another record flood occurred in September 2016. It was the second highest on record at 98.9'. Sandbagging efforts and Hesco barriers were constructed, due to higher predictions and concerns it might be close to topping the existing levee (102.9'). Construction to increase the levee height is anticipated to Flood of 2016 begin as early as October and continue until mid-November. If weather permits, work may occur later into November or December. A majority of the construction will occur in 2018, starting as early as possible in the spring. It is expected to last through the summer and into the fall of 2018. The project is different in various sections. Near the Ice House Museum the earthen levee will be reduced by a foot; a 3' wall will be constructed there. In areas that already have a wall, an additional 2' will be added. The added wall will match the existing wall. At the southern end of the project, south of 9th Street, an earthen berm will be constructed. The City of Cedar Falls received a grant from the State of Iowa’s Flood Mitigation Program totaling $6,700,000. The grant covers the design, land acquisition, and construction.

There is always the risk of pointing out a few larger partners at the expense of leaving others out. I’m going to point towards a few of them while begging forgiveness from those not listed. Our award-winning Community Main Street organization is a cornerstone of economic vitality, citizen volunteerism, and targeted destinations. The College Hill Partnership; various neighborhood associations; folks involved with the arts, bicycle and pedestrian interests; the hard working Sturgis Falls Celebration board and volunteers; and other groups contributing to our vibrant city are all considered valuable partners. The final partnership I will highlight is the most important: our citizens. From time to time, I will walk the streets (view from South Main Street) of Cedar Falls and simply inquire of people—whom I don’t know—on their view of the city. While there are timely, hot topics to discuss, they inevitably circle back to how great the people of Cedar Falls are towards each other, strangers, and those passing through.

  • ISKA SPORT MMA RULES SUBJECT to CHANGE REQUIRED EQUIPMENT: • ISKA Approved Combined Shin and Instep Protectors
    BASIC DESCRIPTION ISKA SPORT MMA is a mixed martial arts sparring competition. It may best be viewed as a light contact version of MMA. ISKA Sport MMA provides competitors with an opportunity to use many of the same techniques associated with MMA, including; strikes, throws, shoots, grappling and submissions applied safely with light or semi-contact. This will be strictly enforced (no damaging strikes or slams). The format for our Sport MMA competition is additionally designed to allow each and every competitor the opportunity to gain as much experience as possible. In order to achieve this, we have instituted a “best of three, tap out” rule (explained below) . Each match begins with two competitors starting from the stand-up position. Light contact strikes combined with good foot-work may be used to control the action, score, or close the gap for a shoot or takedown. If the match goes to the ground, grappling, submissions and light contact striking to legal targets come into play. The goal is to either outscore your opponent with legal, light contact strikes and/or to obtain submissions over your opponent. EXPLAINING THE BEST OF THREE, SUBMISSION RULE • If FIGHTER A obtains a submission over FIGHTER B , it is recorded on the score sheet and the match gets restarted from the stand-up position. • FIGHTER B must now obtain a submission over FIGHTER A in order to have a chance at winning the match. Regardless of how effective FIGHTER B is for the rest of the match, if he/she does not score a submission over FIGHTER A , then he/she will lose even if he/she is the superior technical competitor, gains more points for striking or outclasses FIGHTER A for the duration of the bout.
