Rebuild Iowa Commission to Meet Posted 18 August 2008 The Rebuild Iowa Commission will meet in Cedar Falls tomorrow, Tuesday, Aug. 19, from 2 until 5 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, Cedar Falls University Plaza, 5826 University Avenue. Members will continue working on an initial report on flooding damage and the state's recovery.   The Commission's recent "Speak Up Iowa!" sessions, held across the state, has provided the public with the opportunity to give their input on the recovery and rebuilding process taking place across the state following this year's devastating storms and flooding. The input sessions initiated dialogue on the major issues facing the State of Iowa and provide an opportunity for official public and community involvement, with specific focus on gaining input for the RIO 45-day Report due Sept. 2. Iowans can also submit comments online at http://www.rio.iowa.gov . RIAC is a 15-person, bipartisan commission whose members chair nine task forces focused on specific issues that will develop further recommendations to support the state’s strategic recovery and rebuilding process. The Commission reports to Lt. Governor Patty Judge, who is executive director of the Rebuild Iowa Office, which coordinates all state recovery activities. Major General Ron Dardis of the Iowa National Guard serves as the Commission's chairman. Later this month the commission will meet over a two-day period in Urbandale beginning Aug. 25. It is the last scheduled meeting before the group will present its report to Gov. Chet Culver on Sept. 2.
