Councilmen Farewell Tied to Cedar Rapids Flood Era
Two Cedar Rapids council members who did not seek re election in November served during the post 2008 flood era. Tom Podzimek served two terms as at large member and Chuck Wieneke held District 4, the west side hardest hit by floods. Wieneke logged 80 to 100 hours weekly in the early disaster months. NewBo City Market fundraising surpassed 2 million dollars with The Eastern Iowa Airport as its first sponsor. Groundbreaking is planned for March in the Bohemian Commercial Historic District as organizers aim for a five point three million project with a state grant and city in kind support, and a remaining goal of one million.
