Next Meeting - Email from Maurine
Please post on the website and let other people know that the Parkview Terrace Neighborhood Association will have its second meeting on Tuesday, July 1, 2008 at 7 p.m. in Room A of the Iowa City Public Library.
Representatives of the Iowa City Building Inspection Office will be there. They are going to address specific requirements that the City has for approving rebuilding efforts. One example is that although insurance adjustors seem to be telling people that they do not need to replace wiring that has been under water, the City will NOT approve it. We have asked the City to author a letter to insurance carriers which says this kind of thing. Hopefully that will assist our neighbors with their negotiations with insurance adjustors and contractors.
When people hire contractors, they should be aware that the City licenses subcontractors, but NOT general contractors. A list of licensed subcontractors is on the City website. There are signs up around town from “1-800-Flooded”. They are NOT licensed with anybody.
We have also invited the Johnson County Dept of Public Health to send a representative to the Tuesday meeting to discuss health issues related to working in flooded homes and cleaning up water damaged property.
Thanks for getting this information out.
Maurine
