Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position:
I am currently a member of the airport commission and would like to serve a second term. I am a local pilot and
flight instructor, so have direct knowledge of aviation -related issues that impact the airport operation. As a citizen
of the community, I am also sensitive to the needs and concerns of Iowa City residents, as well as the benefits
provided to the city by having an active local airport.
What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in?*
See above
Please contact the City Attorney at 356-5030 to discuss questions or concerns regarding a potential conflict of
interest. The following describe some but not all potential conflicts.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
The Housing and Community Development Commission makes recommendations to the City Council
regarding the distribution of federal CBDG/HOME funds. The general rule is that no persons who exercise
or have exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to federally funded activities, or who are in
a position to participate in the decision -making process or gain inside information with regard to such
activities, may obtain a financial interest or benefit from a federally —assisted activity, or have a financial
interest in any contract, subcontract, or agreement with respect to a federally -assisted activity, or with
respect to the proceeds of the federally -assisted activity, either for themselves or those with whom they
have business or immediate family ties, during their tenure or for one year thereafter.
Section 362.5 of the Code of Iowa generally prohibits, with certain important exceptions, a member of a
City Board or Commission from having an interest in a City contract.
City Council Resolution # 15-300 established a policy that the following persons shall not be eligible for
appointment to Boards and Commissions:
A Council Member's spouse, domestic partner or partner by cohabitation, children, step -children,
children for whom the Council Member assumes parental responsibility, mother, father, son-in-law,
daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, step-parent, brother, sister, step -siblings and half -
siblings, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, grandparents and grandchildren, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, first
cousin, foster parent, foster child, persons who are parents of the same child, and persons with whom
the employee is in an intimate relationship
Res. #15-300 states that each application for reappointment to a City Board or Commission will be
considered without regard to incumbency. If reappointed, an individual would be limited to one
reappointment to a full term in order to increase the opportunities for new applicants to serve.
Council policy is not to permit an individual to serve on two Boards or Commissions at the same
time. You will be asked to resign from one if appointed to another.
Do you currently have a conflict of Interest?*
Yes
List potential conflicts of interest [See next page for information regarding conflict of interest]*
As a local pilot and aircraft owner, I rent a hanger on airport
property, and will recuse myself from votes regarding hanger
rents, etc. I also work part time for Jet Air as a flight
instructor. During my first term with the commission, this has
not created any conflicts, but I am sensitive to this issue and
will not hesitate to recuse myself if there is any potential
conflict of interest. I feel that my knowledge of flight
instruction has been beneficial, and has led to the purchase
of an FAA -approved flight simulator by the Airport, creating
an income stream that previously did not exist, as well as an
important service to local pilots and aviation enthusiasts.
Please identify any potential conflicts between membership on the advisory board and your personal
interests, including financial interests and your duties to an employer. List all businesses in which you or
your spouse/domestic partner, have an ownership interest (for example, sole proprietor, partner, 5% or
more of corporation's stockholdings).
