The 2008 flood caused an estimated $6 billion in damage in Cedar Rapids, ranking it among the top-five natural disasters in U.S. history. Hundreds of millions of dollars in state and federal aid has flowed into the city, but it feels like a slow drip to many residents deciding whether to rebuild or move. Eyerly came to Iowa after 16 years as a sales and operations manager for private companies. Four months after he took a job as Cedar Rapids’ utilities operations manager, the Cedar River crested at 31.12 feet and flooded the city. Eyerly managed water and wastewater facilities overwhelmed by the rush of water and pushed for a faster response from regu- latory agencies and the Federal Emergency Man- agement Agency. Since the flood, two sides have emerged: the flood victims in low-income neigh- borhoods and the downtown development groups who envision a new city that can avoid the planning mistakes of the past. Some of the more vocal flood victims, such as Frank King, believe the city is waiting out poor residents so it can buy their properties cheaply. “People look at this from two entirely different per- spectives: flood survivors versus optimists,” he said. “I like Greg — he certainly did well with his flood- related tasks — but the city has somewhat engaged in economic cleansing. The people hit the most were the people with the least.” Seger echoed his comments. “A lot of decisions were made by people with dry basements,” she said. Eyerly resists the idea of a burgeoning class struggle. He said the city is trying to get residents and businesses alike back on their feet. He’s hesitant to directly address the pol- itics of the situation. “All I can do now is look forward,” he said. The 44-year-old has an important qualification for his new job — an ability to endure. The day before he interviewed with the City Council for the flood director job, he ran the 100-mile Kettle Moraine ultrama- rathon near La Grange, Wis. He said he sees simi- larities between the 100- mile course and the seemingly interminable flood recovery.

Because he believes this month’s robbery — the first at any West Bank branch in “a couple of years” — was handled “exactly as it should have been,” he said, bank officials are going to continue doing what they have been doing: training for bank robberies, usually four times per year.
