I have been flying for nearly 6 years, hold a private pilot's license for 4+ years with an instrument rating for nearly 3 years. I co-own a plane with another Iowa City resident, and our plane is hangared at the Iowa City Municipal Airport (IOW). I use this plane for both recreational and professional activities. Thus I have a strong interest in promoting the success of IOW and in fostering positive relations between the Iowa City community and aviation community (both local and transient visitors). Given that women remain under-represented in areas of math, science, and engineering, it is not surprising that few women pursue aviation as a profession or a hobby. I believe that my experiences qualify me for this position and that I can contribute new perspectives by participation on the Airport Commission. 4isrepresentations on this application will constitute just cause for removal of an appointee. If you fail ~o answer all the questions, Council may not consider your application. General Application December 2008 Page 1 of 7 WHAT IS YOUR PRESENT KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ADVISORY BOARD? I have attended several meetings of the Airport Commission over the past 2-3 years. I have spoken informally at these meetings, offering my thoughts on a variety of issues under discussion. Through these meetings, I have gained some knowledge of the general activities of this committee and have met the current commission members, a~ 'll as the individuals working routinely with the Commission (e.g., operations specialist, FBO personnel). WHAT CONTRIBUTIONS DO YOU FEEL YOU CAN MAKE TO THIS ADVISORY BOARD (OR STATE REASON FOR APPLYING)? I have alluded to some contributions in my responses above concerning my experiences and activities. I have a very ,good practical understanding of the needs of the GA community. On the one hand, I can offer input to the ~ICommission from the perspective of a pilot who is concerned about the continued success of the airport. On the other hand, I can also serve as a liaison to foster effective communication and partnerships between the City and the GA community. The University is a major client utilizing the airport services, and my familiarity with the University community will also facilitate contributions to the Commission in this area. Some of the discussions that occur on the Commission are aided when members have some technical background, and I feel that my educational background and aviation training will be useful to the Commission and the City. I believe that mygrant-writing experience may be of some value when pursuing extramural funding opportunities on behalf of IOW improvements. Lastly as noted above, too few women are visible and represented in aviation at every level, and I believe that try participation on the Airport Commission would allow me to make an important contribution in this regard -both amo``~g~local,.~ilots and in _::~ the Iowa City community. ~' ._~.' ^1 us POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ~ "~ ~ `'~~<y Please identify any potential conflicts between membership on the advisory boarded your personal interests,including financial interests and your duties to an employer.

Gardinier 1527 Muscatine Avenue Iowa City, IA 52240 City Council City of Iowa City - 410 East Washington Street '~~_ .-. q Iowa City, IA 52240 - ;... Friday 13 February 2009 ~` ,~ ,; =~ ~~ ~; ., Council Members: l `' ~~~' v I have submitted an application to fill the open position that has become available on the Airport "' Commission. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to the Council and to let you know that I would welcome an opportunity to talk with you about my interest and enthusiasm for serving on this commission. First, I moved to Iowa City in July 1998 after accepting a faculty appointment at the University of Iowa. have always enjoyed working here, and more importantly, making Iowa City my home. While I may have had some initial qualms about moving from a city of 6 million (Chicago) to a city of 60,000, it was an easy fit and it's hard to believe that 10 years has flown by. I believe-that I have embraced living here because the community is so open and welcoming, and in addition, the range of activities that folks can pursue and enjoy. One activity that I undertook here in Iowa City is learning to fly. I can't honestly say that it was a dream that I've always had, but I've always liked flying commercially and followed the space program since I was a kid in the 60's. Nearly six years ago, I happened to visit the Iowa City Municipal Airport and picked up a "Learn to Fly" brochure. I tried an introductory flight and loved it. Today, I am a licensed private pilot with an instrument rating (600+ hrs). I co-own a 1978 Cessna Cardinal Classic (4-seater) with another Iowa City resident and his family. Between us, we fly this plane about 250-275 hrs per year (125-140 hrs each), which is probably above average for the usual plane owner. I fly the plane for both recreational and work-related missions. I am a member of the Iowa Chapter of the Ninety-Nines, the international organization of women pilots, that was founded by a group of women pilots in 1929 including Amelia Earhart. As an aside, an Iowan -Ida Loetscher Fox - was a charter member of this historic group of women. Beyond Iowa, I have flown on business trips to areas of the country such as Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, and Washington DC. Last year, I participated in the annual Air Race Classic, offspring of the original Powder Puff Derby all-women transcontinental air races. We flew from Bozeman MT to Mansfield MA and used the adventure to raise $3,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. I have just been accepted into the Hawkeye Chapter of Angel Flight Central and am looking to my first charity flight for this great organization. So why am 1 applying for a position on the Airport Commission? In a nutshell, I tend to be a "do-er" rather than a "spectator". As an academician, I am very familiar with the ideas of collegiality, service, and teamwork on committees. The general aviation (GA) community in Iowa City is quite active and interactive, and it has provided my introduction to the Airport Commission. I have followed the dialogue in the community between pilots, area residents, and the City for the past 5 years, and I have attended a number of Commission meetings over the past 2-3 years and contributed to this dialogue. I have reached a point where I believe that my experiences, insights and perspectives can be helpful to both the Commission and the GA community. Clearly, there are items brought before the Commission where my background as a pilot will be helpful to the group. On other matters, my knowledge of the University might be useful. As an academic researcher, I have extensive experience as a grant writer, and I am fairly confident that this might have some value to the group. It's easy to sit on the sidelines and be an City of Iowa City - Airporf Commission opening Page 2 of 2 armchair coach, but it's another level of commitment to get in the game. I would look forward to an invitation to take this next step. Finally, I have one other personal consideration in pursuing this opportunity. Women remain woefully under-represented in aviation. Among pilots, they are only about 6%. Among professional Airline Transport Pilots, they are only about 3%. Among non-pilot positions in the aviation field, they are less than 4%. These numbers are partly due to the fact that women remain under-represented in fields involving science, engineering and math. If I am invited to join the Airport Commission, I believe that it is just a small grass roots effort to try and raise the visibility of women in this field. It still amazes me after 5+ years that virtually every aviation weather briefer and air traffic controller still refers to me as "sir" when speak with them. Clearly, I don't mean to infer this is a problem for the Airport Commission, but rather, I suggest that I can serve and put another face on aviation that is a little different from the usual face seen by the public. I much enjoy it when I can talk about aviation and piloting, especially to women and young girls. Again, I would be happy to speak with members of the City Council to discuss my application further. As already noted, I work at the University and would prefer to meet at the beginning or end of the work day if possible. If this timing is not feasible for the Council, I would be happy to work with you to find a time that is mutually agreeable for the group. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Minnetta V.

I was a member of the Johnson County Task Force on Aging during 2001 through 2004. I'm currently an ex-ofFcio member of the that Task Force. I was involved in a volunteer senior action effort called Seniors On Guard during 2001 to the end of 200: I have taken an active interest in the Senior Center and the Senior Center Commission since early 2000. I have a special interest in how the senior center plans for our lower income and very elderly people. In the past I was employed for 1 year as the Volunteer Director at a large hospital in Waterloo. Most of the volunteers were retired people. I also worked 1 year as Activity Dir./Social Worker in a nursing home in Burlington. Misrepresentations on this application will constitute just cause for removal of an appointee. If you fail to answer all the questions, Council may not consider your application. General Application December 2008 Page 1 of 7 WHAT IS YOUR PRESENT KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ADVISORY BOARD? I am aware that the Senior Center Commission has not had a low income member during the time I have lived in this city. I also know that most members have had some connection with the University of Iowa. I think the city council Auld consider breaking that record and consider allowing a low income person on that Commission, especially a low income member who is not afraid to ask tough questions and who will question financial decisions. WHAT CONTRIBUTIONS DO YOU FEEL YOU CAN MAKE TO THIS ADVISORY BOARD (OR STATE REASON FOR APPLYING)? I am not intimidated by a high income executive and would not hesitate to question things that seem to need discussion. I am very concerned about protecting the interests of our lower income seniors and the interests of the taxpayers who pay the bills. I already know that the current commission members take special interest in the higher ~~ income seniors. It would be fair to have a member with a special interest in the lower income seniors. I am very concemed about how the gifts and bequeaths to the senior centeranw being managed. I would like to be part of the decision making on that large fund. It is very hard for the public to know how that money is being managed. I would encourage the Commission to begin a serious effort toward reaching out to our black senior citizens to become involved at the senior center and on the Senior Center Commission. I am familiar with how the senior center commission operates. 1 have attended their meetings from time to time through the past 9 years. I do not like what I have seen related to lower income elders. I'd like to help make it better.
