Dear Mayor Neuhauser:
I hereby resign from the Board of Examiners of Plumbers for the. City of Iowa
City,Iowa, : effective Friday, ';November 4, 1977, which is after the conclu
slon of the examination presently in progress.' Although I have enjoyed my
tenure on the Board of Examiners of Plumbers,..I am resigning from the Board
in :order that I may actively participate In work in the Urban Renewal project
area as a plumbing subcontractor.
I have been Informed by Angela Ryan of the City legal staff that an apparent
aonflirt of interest may arise from my position as 'a member' of the Boarrl of
1'%.irntnOln nf'Plumbers'If Mullor Plumbing,and Iienting, Inc., of which I own
:r wilminntlal lniorost, waslhlso doing work for, private dovolopors In that
Urban Ronowal project area. Accordingly, I am resigning from the Board to
remove any appearance of impropriety and to permit me to proceed with
attempting to obtain work from developers in the Urban Renewal project area.
It is my urd erstanding' that Angela Ryan has reviewed relevant sections of
the'' Code of Iowa, including' Sections' 362.5, 362.6, and 403.16 as well as
the Agreement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
and believes that my resignation from, the Board' of,', Examiners of Plumbers
would remove any questions regarding my eligibility to participate as a
plumbing contractor for a private developer in the Urban Renewal project'
area. I want you to be fully: aware that Muller Plumbing and Heating,' Inc.
will b y developersInthe Urban Renewal
e actively pursuing work with private develo
projects area and that the City legal 'staff has found that there is no impro-
prlety if my firm would be, successful' in obtaining 'a contract with one of
these developers.

has iarisen while I have been a 'member of'the -Board of 'Examiners of Plumbers
