Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:15 a.m. CDT

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Nearby communities are donating several thousand filled sandbags to Cedar Rapids as the city prepares for flooding. Waterloo and Cedar Falls endured the crest of the Cedar River Saturday evening. So on Sunday those cities sent their extra sandbags about 55 miles downriver to Cedar Rapids. Forecasters say flooding is expected to begin in Cedar Rapids Sunday night and reach its height by Tuesday.

TRAER, Iowa (AP) — A single wind turbine was already turning in the breeze several miles away when MidAmerican Energy began work on the Vienna Project, the utility company’s 14th wind farm, in 2012. That one turbine near Traer may not get much attention compared to the Vienna Project’s 45 turbines _ one of the smaller wind farms MidAmerican owns. But that one turbine, on average, powers 40 percent of Traer Municipal Utilities’ energy usage. And it’ll likely be the only one the town of 1,700 ever requires.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Some of Iowa’s most powerful interest groups along with environmental organizations are backing efforts to clean up the state’s waterways, but there isn’t unity about how to take action on an issue that has frustrated lawmakers in the past. Two new coalitions have offered very different plans for tackling the problem, with one backing an increase in the sales tax and another supporting a moratorium on livestock confinement operation. Gov. Terry Branstad has rejected both of their proposals.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Music, food trucks, skateboarding and more could soon come to the Missouri River area. A new committee backed by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce has formed to do the nitty-gritty work of implementing a bold vision for the riverfront area in Omaha and Council Bluffs. It’s working off a blueprint developed by a group of outside experts from the Urban Land Institute.

A police pursuit that began Sunday in Omaha ended in Council Bluffs with the driver of the suspect vehicle being taken into custody. Council Bluffs Police report Omaha Police attempted to stop a Nissan 370-Z that was driving recklessly. After Omaha Police helicopter ABLE 1 pursued the vehicle across I-80 into Council Bluffs at around 6:20-p.m., Sunday, officers from both Omaha and Council Bluffs converged on the vehicle behind Long John Silvers at 603 32nd Avenue, in Council Bluffs.

The driver fled on foot and was taken into custody without incident, at Hardee’s on South Expressway. An investigation revealed that the driver of the Nissan was 25-year old Jack Orozco, of Omaha. Orozco was charged with Theft 5th degree for having stolen license plates, Eluding a Police Officer, and Reckless Driving for his actions in Council Bluffs. His passenger was released without charges.

The Red Oak Police Department reports the arrest of a Red Oak man for Trespassing on Sunday.  At 7:45am officers arrested 24-year-old Cody Dean Johnson of Red Oak at 1804 East Summit Street Unit #3 in Red Oak.  Johnson was arrested for Trespassing, a Simple Misdemeanor, and was taken to the Montgomery County Jail and booked in.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — The Cedar Rapids school district has cancelled classes for three days and closed its offices because of the flooding expected in Iowa’s second largest city. The district said Sunday that no classes will be held through Wednesday. The flooding along the Cedar River is expected to reach its peak on Tuesday, but it may take several days for the water to recede. District officials will reevaluate the situation by Wednesday afternoon.

The National Weather Service has revised its forecast for the Cedar River near Iowa’s second-largest city of Cedar Rapids. The river is expected to crest there on Tuesday morning at 23 feet. That level will cause significant flooding in Cedar Rapids, but it has been reduced since earlier forecasts for a crest above 25 feet. But officials are preparing for the worst flooding since 2008.
