Below is an email exchange with city mgr Lombardo. He asks whether the neighborhood wants the city to speed up formulating plans for the future of pvt so that they can be discussed with the neighborhood or whether city should hold off until it finds out whether congress in 2009 might appropriate more $.

The neighbors should discuss this issue among themselves and tell the city what they want

My inclination was to hold off until we had a better idea of the level of funding from the next supplemental appropriation – the concern being that we might develop solutions (and expectations) that would exceed funding levels and the emotional toll that might take.
Do you believe property owners would prefer getting started sooner and then modifying the approach as needed to fit likely funding scenarios?

Mr Lombardo

Do you have any sense as to when the city will have developed plans firm enough to discuss with the residents?

Mr. Linder,
Yes, we continue to meet with the University to coordinate long range planning for the river corridor. The University has also provided access to the individuals and firms that they brought on and we are likely to avail ourselves of some of the engineering and design services that they specialize in.

Subject: UI cttee of flood experts

Mr. Lombardo,
Some time ago you mentioned at a city council mtg that IC, Coralville, and UI would try to coordinate their plans for coexisting with the river. Has there been a follow-thru?
Now that UI has appointed a cttee of flood experts, is there any possibility that: 1. IC could piggy-back on to this cttee? 2. The cttee could also consider PVT? Or 3. IC could appoint its own cttee?
