Townships are governed by the "international building code" by adopting the code, they are mandated to enforce its provisions. One type of "rapid access system is a universal keybox system on the outside of all buildings in the township, at the owners expense.

**UPDATE** 6/13/11
Ordinance #2740( An unfunded city-wide mandate) was passed with a resounding 6 to 1 vote, and it allows for the citizens of Cedar Falls to forcefully give the government keys to their comercial properties through universal 'lock boxes'. The intent of the program is to provide increased safety and protection to personal, private property which include businesses, apartments and some rental houses-- which by the way-- comes at the expense of furthering wayward erosion of fundamental constitutional rights.

**UPDATE** The plights and concerns of the citizens have fallen on deaf ears as the City of Cedar Falls has voted to pass the final ruling on mandatory lock boxes, again, with a 6-1 decision.

City Government demands all keys to properties belonging to Cedar Falls residents.
