The debate over how to protect the neighborhoods along the Iowa River four years after the historic and destructive 2008 flood continues as the council is scheduled to receive an update Tuesday about the city’s flood mitigation efforts.

During Tuesday’s council work session, public works director Rick Fosse will update the council on the city’s flood mitigation strategy, review the progress made in implementing that strategy and discuss key decisions regarding flood mitigation yet to be made. Among those critical decisions is how to best proceed with protecting Idyllwild, Taft Speedway and Foster Road. Idyllwild is a neighborhood of 92 condominiums off Foster Road.
