Include in this description how this project will provide property tax relief, capital improvements and/or charitable services. Waterloo Cedar River Boathouse: The project is to build a new boathouse to replace a structure that was destroyed during the 2008 Cedar River flooding disaste-. In the mid 1960's the City of Waterloo constructed a multi-use boathouse on the banks of the Cedar River in Cedar River/Exchange Park. Until the spring of 2008 this structure was being used by the Waterloo Crew Rowing Club and for other events and public gatherings. The flood of June 2008 caused irreparable damages to the Cedar River Boathouse. The structure had to be demolished and negotiations continue between City of Waterloo and FEMA for assistance with rebuilding costs. The proposed BHCGA grant, along with FEMA assistance and several other funding sources would allow for the building of a new flood resistant boathouse to be used by the Waterloo Crew Rowing Club and many community events/parties.

At the time of this grant writing there had been no additional approved FEMA funding. In the event FEMA grants additional assistance for mitigation the amount requested from BHCGA could be significantly reduced. Final determination on FEMA funding is expected by late July or early August. Narrative A. State problem addressed by the project or program and describe the need for service. The floods of June, 2008 destroyed the Cedar River Boathouse in Cedar River/ Exchange Park. This presents a problem because the structure had housed the Waterloo Crew Rowing club and was home to a number of community events, activities, and social gatherings. There is a need to replace this structure to continue and improve river related activities and events. B. Describe the goals and objectives of the project or program. The purpose of this project is to replace the destroyed boathouse with a new structure that is more flood resistant and versatile in order to foster the use and enjoyment of the Cedar River and encourage river related programs and events. C. Describe the nature of the service to be offered and the activities which will be conducted to carry out the project or program. The new Cedar River Boathouse will house the Waterloo Crew Rowing Club (on the lower level)with their activities including rowing lessons, practices and competitive rowing regattas. In addition, the boathouse facility will be available to host possible kayaking events, fishing tournaments, festivals, and outdoor education classes. The upper level will be rented for events, meetings, parties, and celebrations. D. Provide the beginning and ending dates for this project or program. FEMA timelines dictate bid letting by September 20, 2009 and project completion by July 1, 2010. E. Provide estimates of the number of people to be served by this project or program. Estimated annual attendance related to competitive rowing events, kayaking, fishing, outdoor education events and rentals for parties would be approximately 20,000. In addition this facility is connected by a new paved recreational trail to the new downtown amenities being developed as part of the Cedar Valley River Renaissance initiative. Design team estimates of visitors for the larger project have been at 1.5 million for the first three years of operation. With the connections of the trail and the river, a significant portion of these visitors will experience the new boathouse facility via watercraft or bicycle/pedestrian transportation. F. Describe how you will evaluate the success of the project or program. 1)The number of events and volume of building rentals will be one measure of the degree of success. Records will be maintained of all Leisure Services sponsored events and rentals. 2)Another test of the success of this project will be how the building stands up to major flooding. Planned elevation of the building and use of durable construction materials should help the building pass this test. Leisure Services maintenance staff will evaluate the building after the next significant flood event and related information will be provided to BHCGA upon request. G. If this project or program is ongoing, what are future sources of revenue to support this proposal. This building will be used for many decades into the future. The Leisure Services operating budget will cover regular maintenance and utilities. Rental fees and program fees will be used to help offset these expenses. Flood insurance will be obtained to protect the building from possible future catastrophic loss. Mission Statement The City of Waterloo Leisure Services Commission is dedicated to improving the quality of life for all citizens by providing the best possible recreational activities, special events, facilities, and services that encourage lifelong learning, fitness and fun. The Commission strives to provide an enjoyable outdoor environment with top quality parks, preserves, golf courses, recreational trails, and a healthy urban forest resource. Board of Directors David Buck, Chair Sheryl Annette, Vice Chair Sharon Samec, Secretary Edgar Cunningham Jr. Aundra Meeks Chris Handfelt Bob Frost Recognition The Black Hawk County Gaming Association and/or the Isle of Capri Casino and Hotel would be recognized in many ways for its contributions. Below are several ideas for recognition and others would be considered if requested by BHCGA. • Recognition at televised City Council meeting at the time of grant award. • A press release announcing the award and upcoming construction would be distributed to local and regional media contacts. • P.A. announcements during regattas and other boathouse-based events would credit BHCGA and the Isle for their support of the new building project. • Recognition would be provided on the Leisure Services website. • Presentations at service club meetings, conferences, and other other venues include mention of the ongoing support and community minded donations provided by BHCGA. 31-014 625-0206 STATE OF IOWA 625-02 s1s SALES TAX EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE (see reverse side for instructions) This document is to be completed by a purchaser whenever claiming exemption from sales/use tax.
