A request from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for Riverside to update their policies to receive federal funding has gotten the city noticed, in a good way. City Administrator Christine Yancey says the city was originally contacted by the Iowa Department of Homeland Security on behalf of FEMA to make an addendum to their purchasing policy and procedures as they relate to applying for federal disaster relief funding.

City Administrator Christine Yancey says next year’s budget will be similar to fiscal year 2021 with no change in tax rates for property owners, “No, we did not raise taxes at all, which is really nice because we’re still at the $8.10 (per $1,000 assessed valuation) and we don’t have any special levies that we tax for, so unless your (property) assessment went up, taxes should be close to the same for the city portion of it.” Yancey says the council also approved two applications for grants from the Washington County Riverboat Foundation (WCRF).
