Credentials built a nearly $200M business, time I have the time to do this, and my connections around the community lend a deeper relationship to other subcommunities that would lend to good functioning, education, and buy -in. What do you know: I have read the charter several times, and I understand how it works. Recommendations made by the charter commission go to the Council. I've been to many city and staff meetings and have a good understanding of how the city works today. What specific changes do you think need to be implemented: I am interested in examining the at -large voting system and election of the mayor. I'm very interested in looking at other comparable cities and what they've done. I strongly believe this process needs to have strong public engagement and education, and don't come into this opportunity thinking I know exactly what's right or what's needed. We need to work together to get to that conclusion. Rod Sullivan Introduction: Rod Sullivan What do you think sets you apart: Received the vote of Iowa Citians over 200,000. 5 primary elections and general elections. The people of Iowa City trust and value his opinion. What do you know about the Charter/Charter Commission: Has applied for the last thirty years. Years prior there has been a token progressive. Very business -oriented. Has attended many of the hearings from '94, '04, and '14. Karen Kubby was part of that. High -profile attorneys. Good jobs in the past. '14 was a big year. Missed a few things. Do you think any specific Changes need to be made to that charter?: Has listened to a lot of the conversations over the last years. Thinks there needs to be a direct election of the Mayor. A member of the council still, just directly elected. 4 districts and three at large. Direct election by district. Cedar Rapids attempted to go to an instant runoff if the state allowed it. Special Census??? Brandon Pflanzer Introduction: Iowa City resident for 12 years. Used to live on SE side, now lives on north side. Has been an employee of the fire department for the last 13 years. It gives me a different perspective being able to work in and see all parts of the city. I am also president of the firefighters union and believe it's very important to be as involved in local government as possible. What do you think sets you apart from other candidates?: I think the perspective that I have as a firefighter, is seeing deeply into people's lives and seeing how city policy and form directly affect people's lives. I and my colleagues see the needs that people in our community has every day. People in different areas and of different backgrounds have different needs. I think this perspective is important to ensuring that people from different areas and needs are served by our government form at large. What do you know about the Charter/Charter Commission?: The Commission reviews how our city government is set up to run and serve the community. It starts with a review of how government works and what other communities do. We will also explore other parts of how city government can be improved for the future and best serve future Iowa Citians. Do you think any specific changes need to be made to the Charter?: I open to a lot of ideas for the community. I think that a big part of this is ab Points of priority: Find ways to empower local government to lead the community. Whether that's changes to directly elect the mayor or changing the way we elect councilors, I am committed to exploring the potential paths and working with the community to ensure decisions are made transparently. Any questions?: No questions. Looking forward to the opportunity to serve. Introduction: Moved to Iowa City in the 1980s to go to grad school. Worked at St. Luke's.

What sets you apart from other candidates: I've been in Iowa City for the majority of my life. I know the city, I know the diversity of the city. We have a wide range of economic needs. I know about economic disparity within the ICCSD. I know the ins and outs of government, community, and the need for service tailored to our community's unique makeup. Come to the commission without a one -size -fits -all approach because one size can't fit all members of the community. Advocacy with the legislature both state and federal has given me a lot of experience sharing ideas and making sure people are heard. What do you know about the Charter/Charter Commission?: Not a lot. Just know that the Charter needs to be reviewed periodically and that there is a strong dialogue about changes that need to be made relating to good representation on the Council. I think the growth of the community warrants this dialogue. Do you think any specific changes need to be made to the Charter? Do you have any questions?: Doug Boothroy Introduction: Been in Iowa City since 1968. 56 years. Raised a family here. Worked for the city for 42 years. Retired 6 years ago. Was the director of neighborhood and development services. Degree in urban planning. Interested in affordable housing and environment issues. Connected with many professionals around the community and was involved in code enforcement significantly. It was great to meet people and find solutions to problems. Help people work through code enforcement issues rather than be antagonistic. Married, wife, and two adult children. What sets you apart from other candidates?: I understand and familiar with the Charter. I dealt with it when working for the city. Very familiar how the city works and how things get done. Strong institutional knowledge. Good understanding of the history. Away from City work for 6 years and anxious to contribute again. Hope to be a resource. What do you know about the City Charter/Review Commission?: Appointed every 10 years, 9 members. Have read the charter, which establishes the City manager form of government, and lays out how councilors are elected. Terms of how the Mayor is selected. Admin detail for appointed and executive positions. It includes initiative and referendum procedure Do you think any specific changes need to be made to the Chater?: I'm open to discussion. I've heard people talk about why do we have three districts. Why don't we have a directly elected mayor. I'm not up on the arguments for or against that. Questions? Jim Throgmorton Introduction: Sets apart: Significant inside knowledge of government works by being a city councilor at two different times and being mayor. Also worked for almost 5 years as a city employee in Louisville, KY. Worked for three different consulting firms and a national energy lab. Taught at the University for almost 25 years in urban and regional planning. What do you know: First established in the late 70s, amended since. Part of the charter mandates review. Last met in 2014. 1 was part of council and helped appoint to the last commission. I don't have perfect memory of it but I do have working familiarity. It establishes the basic structure of Iowa City government. Any specific changes: I have an interest in deepening democratic practices in the Iowa City government. I'm not sure what exactly that means, but it's a direction 1'd like to explore and pursue. I have previously advocated for the mayor to be directly elected by the city, but I know there are many arguments against that. I'm committed to weighing both sides of the issue transparently and educationally for the community. Very interested in discursive democracy. Listening and engaging in dialogue is a crucial part of an effective democratic government. This should be a foundational principle of our government. This can be addressed by example by creating an open, well -noticed, and engaged public process in diverse locations as a possibility. Kehry Lane Introduction: Lived in IC since '98, and have been here full time since `99. IC is home and wants to see it do well and move forward. IC should be a template for successful cities.

Motivated strongly by my work with Better Ballot Iowa. A strong advocate for ranked choice voting. Want a municipal option bill in the legislature that would allow communities to choose. Hope to heal divides. Helped present a trigger for RCV to the CR charter review commission. I feel I could be valuable to the process. I want to be part of the solution. Sets apart: Having had some experience with CR charter review, I bring experience to the table and connections with many aspects of the community. What do you know: I need to do more research on the charter review commission and its authorities. I became very familiar with the process in CR. Review the charter, make recommendations for change, and send it to the council for approval to order to the voters. Any specific changes: Iowa and America are in a very perilous place. We have devolved into a combativeness. I think we need consensus rather than fights. I think we need to hold officeholders accountable. The current system doesn't really allow for that. Municipal ranked choice voting triggers when legalized by state law a strong advocacy of mine to better the situation.

Been part of multiple deliberative bodies tasked with things like this. HCDC especially. Was on Council the last time we went through the Charter Review Process. Very strong level of civic pride and engagement in the community. What do you know: I have not looked at the charter since was on City Council. The charter is reflected in how elections are run and how city hall functions. We see the charter every day. We are charged every 10 years with looking under the hood to make sure it's serving the community. Any specific changes: No particular change I'm looking for. Until you're inside the institution or really close to the issues, proclaiming a game plan isn't good for the individual or institution. I have no agenda and look forward to the various ideas and perspectives that are afforded to the commission as part of this process.

The form of government bits is reviewed. High-level review. Any specific changes: I want to take a look at everything. I don't come in with an agenda. The topic of the mayor is also a constant issue.

As former chair of the JC Dems, was able to successfully bring people together and manage varied interests. What do you know about: Not a lot. I have been a bit busy with some family affairs, so have been unable to review it recently. One of the things that I developed in my career was adaptation to a steep learning curve. I feel well-equipped to do the same with this duty. Any specific changes: 1 am impressed with how the city government runs. We must be conscientious about any changes we may make and the impacts it may have. Question: Susan Craig Introduction: Grew up in Waterloo. Came to UI freshman year. Fell in love with IC and stayed.

The charter sets out a lot of the rights and responsibilities of different areas of city government. It also determines how the council is organized and how citizens interact with the government. Any specific changes: I expect to discuss the way council districts work. I also anticipate a discussion on whether we should elect the mayor. I don't have any specific goals for either of these issues. Questions: Mackenzie DeRoo Intro: IC transplant. Have lived here since 2018. Worked for the chamber of commerce.

Personally would not apply if I wasn't going to take the job seriously. Committed to listening and figuring out what the best path forward for our city is. What do you know?: The charter is the constitution for the City. Designates how local government works, and the roles of various government officials. The Commission 4)( meets every 10 years to review and suggest changes as needed. Changes?: Going into this with an open mind. The Charter has been around for a long time, so I want to understand why decisions were made in the past.

Changes: I have long been concerned with youth participation in local government and think that issue is a structural problem. I strongly believe that council districts need to be reviewed. I'm not certain what the best way to address this would be, so I'm excited to discuss solutions with the board and community. Jennifer Patel Intro: I've been active in parliamentary processes for over 30 years in the Johnson County Democrats, League of Women Voters, and serve as the Voter Registration Coordinator for the League. I have three children. I am also active with NAMI Johnson County. I am attending NAMI on the Hill on the Tuesday of the appointments.

I participated in the LWV Linn County study of different forms of government. What do you know?: I know that the city Charter writes out the way the city runs, how elections work, how departments are set up, and the form of government we have. The charter runs for one year, and commissioners recommend amendments for review to the council. Changes: I like ranked -choice voting. I've seen it in various situations and I think starting at the state level is a great way to introduce it to people rather than at the state level. I would like to review the way districts are set up. John Balmer Intro: First got on council when 27 years old. Former chair of the Charter Review Commission in 1984.

We have the commission every 10 years to look under the hood and see what needs to change. Changes: Doesn't support changing the way districts are elected or reviewing the mayoral election/appointment by council. I'd like to look at the document again, I think it's worth discussing a number of issues but the foundation of the government is solid. No issue in particular pops up on the radar.

Charter Review Commission: Eligible Preference on first choice (If multiple boards are being applied for.) Interests & Experiences Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: 1. 1 was director of nutrition services for the Iowa City Community School District for 25 years. Therefore, I am very familiar with the diversity within Iowa City including the wide range of needs within the community such as access to affordable housing and adequate nutrition. As director, I was responsible for a diverse staff of just over 100 employees. My career provided many leadership opportunities which often included meeting with members of Congress to lobby for the needs of children not only in Iowa but throughout the country. Strong organizational skills, working with a diverse group of staff, students and parents along with being fiscally responsible with program funds were strengths I have developed over my long career. 2. 1 have volunteered at the CommUnity Food Bank and Crisis center for several years. Therefore I am aware of the hundreds of families served each week by CommUnity. This includes helping families with not only food but also housing and utility assistance and other services. 3. 1 have served on the Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Executive Board. As a member of School Nutrition Association Iowa I served on the Board and was president (2002-03). 1 was on the executive board of the School Nutrition Services Dietetic Practice group which included a 2-year term in the House of Delegates of the Academy of Nutrition. Therefore I believe these opportunities have given me experience of working with a team and learning to discuss, evaluate and compromise when important issues were being discussed and consensus was needed. 4. 1 am a member of the League of Women Voters Johnson County which believes empowering voters and defending democracy. Our league supported both the Council-manager of government and home rule charter. I would plan on bringing these perspectives to the commission since city government must work for all residents. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? I know this commission is required to review the City Charter every 10 years. From reading articles in the paper I know an issue which has been discussed is how city council members are elected. As a resident since the 80's I know the diversity within the community and how important it is for every citizen to believe they are being represented and to know issues impacting that person are being heard and addressed. I believe a charter which works for all residents embodies the goals of empowering voters and defending democracy.

Interests & Experiences Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: I am a very active member and advocate in the community. For the last 10 years, I've focused on specific advocacy for immigrants and refugees settling in the Midwest. I previously served on the Iowa City Human Rights Commission for six years, I serve along with the UIHC and Johnson County Public on the Congolese Health Partnership for approximately seven years and going, and participated in Program Management Plus with the University of Iowa. I have served on the board of directors of The Center for Worker Justice for four years, the United Nations Association - Johnson County Chapter for three years, and the Johnson County Affordable Housing Coalition for the last year. I recently started volunteering with the new Community Health Worker Coalition of Johnson County. I speak five languages (English, French, Swahili, Lingala, and Kirega) which has allowed me to serve as a professional interpreter for ICCSD, Iowa DHS, the Johnson County court system, and multiple police precincts in the region. This particular experience has given me a strong understanding of the legal system and "legalese." I am passionate about helping others and serving as a mentor for many young people across the nation and abroad. Outside of my advocacy work, I am a proud foster parent and doula for local hospitals serving immigrant communities. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? I am familiar with Iowa City's Home Rule Charter and the role of the Charter Review Commission. Every 10 years Iowa City convenes a Charter Review Commission to review and propose amendments to the charter about our structure of government. I believe the Commission should ensure our form of government works for the need of the community and should address problems that may have arisen. I am aware of the ongoing dialogue in the community regarding the popular election of the Mayor of Iowa City and changes to City Council elections. I am confident these topics will be a focus of the Commission's work. If selected I am committed to facilitating an educational, public process and discussion on these topics and others to reach solutions that best serve our community, without prejudgement. I am also prepared to engaged in thoughtful, inclusive discussions.

Please take extra care opening any links or attachments. ** Hey Stefanie, Hope you're doing well. 1 just received news that my employer wants us back in the office so I will no longer be able to work remotely. As a result, I will have to move to DC soon. Thus, I will no longer be able to serve on the board. I have a couple months to move and will be able to make it to the February meeting. However, I'm traveling during the March meeting for a conference and will need the time in April to get ready for the move. Unfortunately, this February meeting will be my last. Thank you for the opportunity, it was great working with you and wishing you all the best in the future.
