Community Police Review Board (CPRB) Member Information: 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: I am a member of an every generation law enforcement and military family. That is a bias that I watch, but my expectations for law enforcement are very high because each any negative behaviors impacts everyone on the job. My volunteer work has focused on working with minority youths who are at -risk. I moved to Johnson County in 2008, worked for SEIU, and participated in political work, as I learned about Johnson County. In 2020, I established an group called Truth Download 2020Vision where parents and black at risk youths with histories of violence could discuss and process the challenges they faced in schools. I was deeply concerned about the rage and violence increasing so, we developed functional tools and goals. I was and still am available to them any time - even tutoring in the middle of the night. I had to cap the number of teens at fourteen. Five of them are in college now and all fourteen have remained non-violent. In 2023, I began attending the Coralville Policing Advisory Board to understand more about circumstances young people were experiencing in Johnson County. I had many questions about how review boards function. I also found that I could receive excellent advice and understanding of Iowa Laws from the Coralville Police Chief. He made an invaluable advice for the young people in TD2020Vision. If he didn't have an answer he would direct me to the people who would have more insight. When I moved to Iowa City and settled in, I began attending the Iowa City Police Review Board meetings. I was impressed with the earnest nature of every member of the Review Board. I believe they have had experiences and knowledge of the application of laws that would benefit the young people I support. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? I have attended each Board meeting since last September and have studied the differences between Coralville's Policing Advisory Board and Iowa City's Review Board Codes and functions.

My name is Seth Hadenfeldt and I am an architectural and interior designer with OPN Architects who has a special interest in adaptive reuse, historic preservation, and urban design. I have an undergraduate degree in interior design and a master's degree in Architecture, both from the University of Nebraska Lincoln. I have a growing passion and interest in public service and historic preservation and feel that serving on the Historic Preservation Commission would be a great way to give back to the community. I am active in the nationwide build/reuse community and recently participated in a workshop Design for Deconstruction workshop with Metropolis Magazine. I feel that historic buildings are important to maintain the character of a city and must be advocated for. I feel that it is also important to be forward thinking and that reuse and repurpose is a great alternative to standard demolition. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? The advisory board reviews designs, grants appropriateness for properties in historic districts, can recommend landmark designations, educates and advocates for historic structures, and supports and builds on preservation policies.

My coursework has included topics such as Planning Livable Cities, Natural Resource Economics, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)—all of which directly relate to community development and housing accessibility. Professionally, I have supported faculty and researchers in the health sciences through roles in IT and data management, developing technical documentation, managing data systems, and ensuring accessibility and efficiency across departments. These experiences have strengthened my analytical skills, familiarity with public data systems, and commitment to community -focused work. In my role as Garden Manager for the University of Iowa Community Gardens, I've led budgeting, funding efforts, and sustainability initiatives focused on food accessibility and resource equity — experiences that align with the commission's emphasis on low and moderate income resident needs. I also serve on the University's Information Technology Advisory Committee, where I help evaluate university -wide systems and recommend improvements —similar to the policy review and advisory nature of this commission. I currently work as a Data Analyst for the Office of Statewide Clinical Education Programs, where I examine problems with rural healthcare deserts and medical access in Iowa. Combined, these experiences reflect my interest in housing policy, sustainable urban development, and inclusive public engagement, and I would be honored to contribute to this work in a meaningful way. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? Housing and Community Development Commission: From what I understand, this commission helps shape the policies and programs that support affordable housing, job access, and services for low- and moderate -income residents. I'm especially interested in its role connecting public input with how the city allocates resources. In my current role as a Data Analyst, I work on identifying healthcare access issues in underserved areas of Iowa, which gives me a helpful perspective on addressing service gaps and supporting equity, skills I'd love to bring to this commission. Historic Preservation Commission: I know this commission focuses on identifying and protecting places in Iowa City that have historic, architectural, or cultural value, and it helps review proposed changes to those areas. I've developed an interest in preservation through my studies in Environmental Policy and Planning, especially in courses focused on land use and planning. My experience managing the University of Iowa Community Gardens has also sparked an appreciation for how intentional spaces can reflect and support community identity over time. Planning and Zoning Commission: I see this commission as helping guide the city's long-term growth by advising on zoning and land use changes. Through my coursework like Planning Livable Cities and GIS, I've explored how cities plan for things like housing, transportation, and green space, and how zoning can impact access and quality of life. I'd be excited to bring what I've learned about equitable planning and data -informed decision -making to the table.

Question applies to Historic Preservation Commission Board Member Information Historic Preservation Commission Category * m At -Large Interests & Experiences Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: Hello! My name is Seth Hadenfeldt and I am an architectural and interior designer with OPN Architects who has a special interest in adaptive reuse, historic preservation, and urban design. I have an undergraduate degree in interior design and a master's degree in Architecture, both from the University of Nebraska Lincoln. I have a growing passion and interest in public service and historic preservation and feel that serving on the Historic Preservation Commission would be a great way to give back to the community. I am active in the nationwide build/reuse community and recently participated in a workshop Design for Deconstruction workshop with Metropolis Magazine. I feel that historic buildings are important to maintain the character of a city and must be advocated for. I feel that it is also important to be forward thinking and that reuse and repurpose is a great alternative to standard demolition. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? The advisory board reviews designs, grants appropriateness for properties in historic districts, can recommend landmark designations, educates and advocates for historic structures, and supports and builds on preservation policies. Thank you for reviewing my application! Potential Conflicts of Interest Please contact the City Attorney at 356-5030 to discuss questions or concerns regarding a potential conflict of interest.

The Commission plans to review and vote on the amendment to the by-laws at the April 21, 2025 meeting. There are currently seven members appointed to the Commission and City Council is scheduled to appoint two additional members at an upcoming formal meeting. By a vote of 5-0, the Housing and Community Development Commission recommends that City Council defer additional appointments to the Commission to allow time for the Commission to review an amendment to the by-laws. Attached please find a copy of the draft minutes of the March 24, 2025, Housing and Community Development Commission meeting.

HARVAT HALL, CITY HALL DRAFT MEMBERS PRESENT: Horacio Borgen, Maryann Dennis, Amos Kiche, George Kivarkis, Kyle Vogel MEMBERS ABSENT: Daouda Balde, Karol Krotz STAFF PRESENT: Erika Kubly, Brianna Thul, Sam Turnbull OTHERS PRESENT: RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL: By a vote of 5-0 the Commission recommends that City Council defer additional appointments to the Commission to allow time for the Commission to review an amendment to the by-laws. CALL MEETING TO ORDER: Vogel called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM. The Commission welcomed new member Kiche. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: OCTOBER 21, 2024: Dennis moved to approve the minutes of October 21, 2024. Kivarkis seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the minutes were approved 5-0. PUBLIC COMMENT FOR TOPICS NOT ON THE AGENDA: None. DISCUSS POTENTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE HCDC BY-LAWS TO REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE COMMISSION FROM NINE TO SEVEN MEMBERS: Vogel gave some background on this topic, obviously the Commission hasn't been able to meet since October from a combination of having a vacancy on the Commission and members not being able to make scheduled meetings. Therefore, they have not been able to have a quorum. Vogel stated this became incredibly relevant when they had Aid to Agencies work that needed to be done and recommendations that needed to be made to Council, but since HCDC didn't meet, they couldn't make those recommendations. One of the discussion items has been reducing the number of members from a nine member commission to a seven member commission, so that a quorum will be four members. Vogel noted they have been really successful in having four people be able to show up on a regular basis but since last October it's been hard to get more. Vogel introduced historic attendance data in the packet noting last year there was only one meeting where eight people out of nine were able to attend, and at that time they didn't have a ninth because there was a vacancy. Looking back to 2021 the average is six out nine members attending regular HCDC meetings. Housing and Community Development Commission March 24, 2025 Page 2 of 5 Thul explained the process for the Commission to make an amendment to the bylaws. According to the by-laws, the Commission will need to discuss it at one meeting and then would vote on the amendment at the next meeting. If they were to vote in favor of the amendment, it would go to the City Council Rules Committee next. Ultimately City Council decides on the amendment. She explained that today would be a discussion and if the Commission wants to pursue the amendment, staff will add it on the next agenda. If the Commission is not interested in an amendment, it would not be added to the next agenda. Dennis stated with all the data that they have, it just makes sense to reduce the membership to seven. She noted while she is not privy to know if the Council is not getting applications or why the people who were appointed have not been able to attend. Maybe it's because the amount of work the Commission is required to do, especially with Aid to Agencies, is huge. She stated the Director of Neighborhood and Development Services sent out letters about lack of attendance and at least one person resigned. Dennis stated it's not good that they haven't been able to meet since October and thinks it would be wise to amend the bylaws. Kivarkis agrees and noted they've delayed a couple of important votes because of it as well. He agreed it's been easy to get four people in the room, but harder to get any more. Making an amendment, or at least some temporary solution would help. Vogel asked when someone submits an application to serve on a commission, do they have a rank choice of which commission they're wanting to apply for or are they just applying to any commission and then they're appointed to one? Thul explained each commission has its own pool of applications, but the application lets someone select their top choice. Vogel asked if it's been an issue of people have just been getting their second choice and that's why they aren't attending? Thul would have to look into that specifically to get more information on that. Thul noted currently they have seven people appointed to a nine -person commission and City Council will be appointing two more people at an upcoming meeting. Thul explained that the Commission may recommend that Council defer appointments, but it would be up to City Council if they decide to defer or not. Additionally, there are three terms ending in June of this year. Borgen stated that if there are seven people currently appointed, he feels it would be a good time to do the amendment so there is no need to search for two additional people. Vogel thinks it would behoove them to ask City Council to hold off appointing any new members until the next meeting and until the Rules Committee has a chance to review. Thul noted the last time this was considered, there were some things that the City Attorney's Office had to look at as far as staggering the terms to make sure that they don't have too many terms ending at one time. Staff will need to review that to determine the process if the amendment moves forward. Kiche noted this problem seems like something that is related to the characteristic of the individuals appointed because probably four or five years ago, the problem might have not been there. So, in that case, it is not the problem of the numbers - it's the problem of the persons themselves. Ideally, they would hope that could be solved by adding new persons. He noted to reduce the number of members might introduce a new problem in terms of reducing diversity, skills, and other talents on the commission. Sometimes one additional person might add ideas or contribute something. Kivarkis agrees - while a quorum is important, are they disabling the ability to find more voices for the committee in general? With two more seats they get two valuable perspectives that show up to these meetings, which is more valuable than reducing the size of the committee. Vogel doesn't disagree but what happens when it's time for CDBG/HOME or Aid to Agencies and they can't have a meeting? They haven't had a meeting since October, even after an extra meeting was added and they made it imperative to the current members that they needed people to show up. It was just the four of them for three months that would show up. He doesn't disagree though and stated it's always nice Housing and Community Development Commission March 24, 2025 Page 3 of 5 to have a larger myriad of voices on any committee. The problem is there's no guarantee City Council can appoint two more people and that it won't be the same situation they've already got, which is they don't show up. Then they're still going through a process of two or three more months of not having meetings. Dennis stated in her experience with this Commission, there are several months when they have meetings and there's not a lot of what she would say is the most important work that this commission is assigned to do. They have some meetings with presentations, but there's also a few times a year where what they do is really important to Council, to the applicants, and to the community. That's what has happened since October. They were not able to review and provide recommendations to Council about the Consolidated Plan, which is a hugely important piece of whether or not this community is going to receive federal money. Then also to have the agencies here in the room waiting to see a recommendation from the results of the work that they did to request funding and to be told, sorry you have to just go to Council because not enough HCDC members can be present. That leaves Council with more work because they're not getting the recommendations from HCDC. There are certain times of the year that these meetings are very important. Dennis stated in her experience, because she was on the other side of this table for many years as an applicant, and in almost 30 years she never experienced what happened in January where meetings are cancelled. She thinks they owe it to Council and the community to follow through on what they signed up to do. If there were seven members, Council can certainly appoint people that they think are capable and knowledgeable enough to do what this Commission is supposed to do. She is in support of trying to reduce the number. Dennis asked if there are other commissions on the City who have seven members. Thul doesn't have the exact numbers for other commissions but believes Planning and Zoning has seven members. Vogel would also argue they've not had nine voices in nearly the whole time he's been here. March of 2021 was last time they had nine people so even at the best, in the last four years, they've had eight and even with that eight, there's been a constant rotating door of one or two members. They get three or four months of activity and then nothing. Dennis noted there's also a learning curve for this Commission and that's why they have the staff. The staff are very helpful. If a member has questions, they can call the staff and they are willing to sit down with members and talk to them about the Commission's function because there is a learning curve. It takes time to learn things. Kiche asked if staff is able to communicate with any habitual persons not attending. Obviously, somebody can be sick or have an emergency, but if there's a pattern that a staff member can see — is it violating anything to have staff have communication with that person? Thul confirmed that staff will reach out to people who don't show up to meetings repeatedly. There are also meeting days where staff are calling every member of the commission in the hours before the meeting to see if they have a quorum. As Dennis mentioned, the Director of Neighborhood and Development Services also sent a letter to several people who were missing meetings to acknowledge how important attendance is and to also note that if they couldn't fulfill the attendance obligations, to maybe consider resigning from the Commission. Another thing staff has been working on is the scope and the level of work for this Commission. As Vogel noted for Aid to Agencies, staff do realize it can be an enormous amount of material. Staff are working on making things easier for Commissioners. Dennis moved to recommend that City Council defer additional appointments to the Commission to allow time for the Commission to review the amendment to the by-laws. Kiche seconded. A vote was taken, and the motion passed 5-0. 10J&:IIIII5d0JiyiIiyi16'1'iM►lIJ:AU_r9:613 Turnbull gave an update related to Aid to Agencies. The Legacy Agencies submit quarterly reports in the United Way portal and she pulled the data from those reports and summarized it in a table. The table allows Commissioners to see what those agencies had set as their goals for the services for the current fiscal year and what they have achieved to date. The Non -Legacy Agencies submit a paper form twice a Housing and Community Development Commission March 24, 2025 Page 4 of 5 year and Turnbull summarized those data points in the table as well. Turnbull did this to provide more information to the Commission in a digestible way. She noted the agencies also submit narrative reports to the City. Kivarkis thanked Turnbull for the report. Thul stated that the only other thing in the packet was correspondence from Escucha Mi Voz. They were a recipient of Non -Legacy funds and provided an update to share with the Commission. Vogel asked if City Council voted on the Aid to Agencies recommendations for FY26 yet. Thul stated they have not, and that staff are in the process of preparing a third set of staff recommendations to share with City Council. Staff anticipate those being submitted to City Council in April. When they are included in the information packet, she will forward those to HCDC and to the applicants. ADJOURNMENT: Kivarkis moved to adjourn. Dennis seconded the motion.

(. Yes (- No Interests & Experiences Sarah Murray Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: Response to the Question: Experience and/or Activities That Qualify You for This Position My professional and academic experiences strongly align with the responsibilities of serving on the Iowa City Housing and Community Development Commission. As a public health professional with a Master of Public Health degree emphasizing community and behavioral health, I bring a robust background in program development, research, and community engagement that directly relates to housing and community development challenges. In my role as a Health Science Specialist at the Department of Veterans Affairs' Center for Access & Delivery Research and Evaluation, I have led multiple projects that intersect with housing and community well-being. I have experience in collecting and analyzing data to inform evidence -based policy and program decisions, skills that are critical for understanding housing needs and evaluating development projects. My work often involves engaging with underserved populations, including rural communities and Veterans, to identify barriers to accessing care and resources, which parallels the housing equity focus of this commission. My experience as a Case Manager at the Catherine McCauley Center and as a Domestic Violence Advocate for LifeWire, a program in Seattle, further illustrates my qualifications. I coordinated services for refugees and survivors in both Iowa City and Seattle, including housing, education, and transportation, providing me with firsthand knowledge of the challenges marginalized populations face in securing stable housing. I developed workshops and assisted in creating sustainable community programs, demonstrating my ability to collaborate with stakeholders and implement impactful solutions. Additionally, my tenure as a Volunteer Coordinator at the Rape Victim Advocacy Program involved managing large teams, securing funding, and navigating complex systems to ensure services reached those in need. These skills will support the commission's goals of fostering equitable housing opportunities and community development. My passion for community well-being and my extensive experience working with vulnerable populations uniquely position me to contribute effectively to the Iowa City Housing and Community Development Commission. I am eager to bring my expertise in data analysis, program management, and community engagement to serve Iowa City residents. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? My understanding of the Iowa City Housing and Community Development Commission is that it plays a critical role in shaping the city's housing policies, addressing affordable housing challenges, and guiding the allocation of resources to support equitable community development. The commission advises the Iowa City City Council on matters such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), ensuring that federal funds are used effectively to benefit low- and moderate -income residents. The commission also evaluates and prioritizes funding for local housing initiatives, supports programs aimed at preventing homelessness, and promotes the development of affordable housing units. Its responsibilities include reviewing applications for funding, assessing community needs, and recommending policies to address disparities in housing access and quality. Additionally, the commission engages in public outreach and collaboration with stakeholders, including nonprofit organizations, developers, and community members, to ensure that housing and development projects align with Iowa City's strategic goals for equity and sustainability. I am aware that the commission's work requires a deep commitment to understanding local housing challenges, a thorough knowledge of federal and state funding mechanisms, and the ability to assess and prioritize competing needs in the community. My background in public health, program management, and community engagement equips me to contribute meaningfully to these efforts. I am enthusiastic about learning more through active participation and collaboration with fellow commissioners.

My coursework has included topics such as Planning Livable Cities, Natural Resource Economics, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)—all of which directly relate to community development and housing accessibility. Professionally, I have supported faculty and researchers in the health sciences through roles in IT and data management, developing technical documentation, managing data systems, and ensuring accessibility and efficiency across departments. These experiences have strengthened my analytical skills, familiarity with public data systems, and commitment to community -focused work. In my role as Garden Manager for the University of Iowa Community Gardens, I've led budgeting, funding efforts, and sustainability initiatives focused on food accessibility and resource equity — experiences that align with the commission's emphasis on low and moderate income resident needs. I also serve on the University's Information Technology Advisory Committee, where I help evaluate university -wide systems and recommend improvements —similar to the policy review and advisory nature of this commission. I currently work as a Data Analyst for the Office of Statewide Clinical Education Programs, where I examine problems with rural healthcare deserts and medical access in Iowa. Combined, these experiences reflect my interest in housing policy, sustainable urban development, and inclusive public engagement, and I would be honored to contribute to this work in a meaningful way. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? Housing and Community Development Commission: From what I understand, this commission helps shape the policies and programs that support affordable housing, job access, and services for low- and moderate -income residents. I'm especially interested in its role connecting public input with how the city allocates resources. In my current role as a Data Analyst, I work on identifying healthcare access issues in underserved areas of Iowa, which gives me a helpful perspective on addressing service gaps and supporting equity, skills I'd love to bring to this commission. Historic Preservation Commission: I know this commission focuses on identifying and protecting places in Iowa City that have historic, architectural, or cultural value, and it helps review proposed changes to those areas. I've developed an interest in preservation through my studies in Environmental Policy and Planning, especially in courses focused on land use and planning. My experience managing the University of Iowa Community Gardens has also sparked an appreciation for how intentional spaces can reflect and support community identity over time. Planning and Zoning Commission: I see this commission as helping guide the city's long-term growth by advising on zoning and land use changes. Through my coursework like Planning Livable Cities and GIS, I've explored how cities plan for things like housing, transportation, and green space, and how zoning can impact access and quality of life. I'd be excited to bring what I've learned about equitable planning and data -informed decision -making to the table.

(. Yes (- No Interests & Experiences Sarah Murray Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: Response to the Question: Experience and/or Activities That Qualify You for This Position My professional and academic experiences strongly align with the responsibilities of serving on the Iowa City Housing and Community Development Commission. As a public health professional with a Master of Public Health degree emphasizing community and behavioral health, I bring a robust background in program development, research, and community engagement that directly relates to housing and community development challenges. In my role as a Health Science Specialist at the Department of Veterans Affairs' Center for Access & Delivery Research and Evaluation, I have led multiple projects that intersect with housing and community well-being. I have experience in collecting and analyzing data to inform evidence -based policy and program decisions, skills that are critical for understanding housing needs and evaluating development projects. My work often involves engaging with underserved populations, including rural communities and Veterans, to identify barriers to accessing care and resources, which parallels the housing equity focus of this commission. My experience as a Case Manager at the Catherine McCauley Center and as a Domestic Violence Advocate for LifeWire, a program in Seattle, further illustrates my qualifications. I coordinated services for refugees and survivors in both Iowa City and Seattle, including housing, education, and transportation, providing me with firsthand knowledge of the challenges marginalized populations face in securing stable housing. I developed workshops and assisted in creating sustainable community programs, demonstrating my ability to collaborate with stakeholders and implement impactful solutions. Additionally, my tenure as a Volunteer Coordinator at the Rape Victim Advocacy Program involved managing large teams, securing funding, and navigating complex systems to ensure services reached those in need. These skills will support the commission's goals of fostering equitable housing opportunities and community development. My passion for community well-being and my extensive experience working with vulnerable populations uniquely position me to contribute effectively to the Iowa City Housing and Community Development Commission. I am eager to bring my expertise in data analysis, program management, and community engagement to serve Iowa City residents. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? My understanding of the Iowa City Housing and Community Development Commission is that it plays a critical role in shaping the city's housing policies, addressing affordable housing challenges, and guiding the allocation of resources to support equitable community development. The commission advises the Iowa City City Council on matters such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), ensuring that federal funds are used effectively to benefit low- and moderate -income residents. The commission also evaluates and prioritizes funding for local housing initiatives, supports programs aimed at preventing homelessness, and promotes the development of affordable housing units. Its responsibilities include reviewing applications for funding, assessing community needs, and recommending policies to address disparities in housing access and quality. Additionally, the commission engages in public outreach and collaboration with stakeholders, including nonprofit organizations, developers, and community members, to ensure that housing and development projects align with Iowa City's strategic goals for equity and sustainability. I am aware that the commission's work requires a deep commitment to understanding local housing challenges, a thorough knowledge of federal and state funding mechanisms, and the ability to assess and prioritize competing needs in the community. My background in public health, program management, and community engagement equips me to contribute meaningfully to these efforts. I am enthusiastic about learning more through active participation and collaboration with fellow commissioners.

I served as co-chair of the United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties 2022 annual campaign and then joined the organization's board in 2024. 1 currently serve as treasurer and as chair of the internal operations committee for the United Way board. United Way supports many of the same agencies that Aid to Agencies supports. Before my retirement in 2017, 1 had a 31-year career at the University of Iowa, in roles ranging from faculty member to Vice Provost and finally as Vice President for Student Life. In that capacity, I led a division with over 500 employees and a budget of over $100 million. I also provided leadership for several large capital projects, including two residence halls, which were the first residence halls built at the university for over 40 years. From my retirement through last year, 1, along with my partner, ran a small strategic planning firm. Our clients were in the non-profit and government sectors, with most of them being academic consortia. In our practice, we shared our expertise in quickly developing effective, low -overhead strategic plans that were flexible enough to respond to changes in the client's environment.

I understand that in contrast to the governance role that the ICPL Board of Trustees (on which my service is ending) serves, the Housing and Community Development Commission serves an advisory role.

Library, Board of Trustees Board Member Information: Eligible Preference on first choice (If multiple boards are being applied for.) Library, Board of Trustees Interests & Experiences Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: I have previously served on governing boards in a volunteer capacity and I regularly advise on board governance issues in my professional career as an attorney. I have previously served on boards of directors, including the Down Syndrome Alliance of the Midlands, a Nebraska nonprofit organization and tax-exempt entity based in Omaha, Nebraska; the Nebraska Healthcare Financial Management Association (NHFMA), which is the Nebraska chapter of the Healthcare Financial Management Association; and the Community Bike Project of Omaha, an Omaha -based nonprofit and tax-exempt organization. Currently, I serve as the DPO representative for the Hoover Parent Teachers Association for the Iowa City Community School District's Districtwide Parent Organization ("DPO"). I believe that these prior board experiences and my professional career as an attorney, where I regularly advise boards on governance and related issues, have given me a unique opportunity and experience to be an effective, engaged, and valuable member of the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees. In addition to the above, I am a long-time patron of the Iowa City Public Library. I attended children's story times in the late 80s and early 90s when I was growing up in Iowa City and my significant other and I regularly visit the public library today with our young daughters to instill the same love of reading, self -exploration, and curiosity that has served us well throughout our lives. I believe my prior board experience, experience advising on governance issues, and my long-time commitment and passion to the ICPL will serve me well in the event I have the opportunity to serve as a member of the Board of Trustees and represent the interests of the vibrant Iowa City community and surrounding areas. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? At this time, I have not had any personal interaction with the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees. My understanding is that the ICPL Board of Trustees is a nine -member board that holds monthly meetings. My assumption is that the board has regular committee meetings and other board commitments during the periods between monthly meetings of the whole board (i.e., my understanding is that any board and time commitment for an individual trustee is likely more time intensive than a single monthly meeting). Although I have not independently confirmed this, my assumption is that the ICPL Board of Trustees is created by Iowa law and City of Iowa City ordinances and the board is likely tasked with setting the strategic direction of the ICPL and carrying out the ICPL mission of being the center of community life and engaging residents to foster the life-long pursuit of information, knowledge, and ideas.

Library, Board of Trustees Board Member Information: 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: I have been a dedicated volunteer with the Iowa City Public Library's Book End for the past year and a half, which has given me a front-line perspective on how the library serves our community. I've also been a library card holder for the past six years, and my frequent use of library resources has only deepened my appreciation for its role as a community cornerstone. As an avid reader and a strong believer in the importance of literacy, I deeply value public libraries as essential, equitable spaces - places where anyone can come without the expectation of payment, whether to learn, connect, or simply be. In addition to my personal connection to the library, I bring professional experience working for a nonprofit, the University of Iowa Center for Advancement which is governed by a board of directors. This background has given me insight into the responsibilities and dynamics of board service, including collaboration, strategic planning, and community stewardship. I would be honored to contribute that experience to the Iowa City Public Library Board. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? I understand that the Iowa City Public Library Board is responsible for overseeing the overall direction and governance of the library, which includes making key decisions about funding, long-term goals, and policy development. The Board is tasked with ensuring that the library serves the community's needs through careful strategic planning and effective use of resources. It also plays a critical role in hiring staff who are equipped to carry out the Library's mission and objectives. This understanding of the Board's governance and responsibilities aligns with my own professional experience with nonprofit boards, where I've gained insight into the importance of collaboration, accountability, and strategic leadership. I am excited about the opportunity to bring this perspective to the Iowa City Public Library Board.

Library, Board of Trustees Board Member Information: Eligible Preference on first choice (If multiple boards are being applied for.) Human Rights Interests & Experiences Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: Human Rights: Throughout my personal life, I have been invested in diversity and equity. I have seen the detriments of segregation in schools and communities, and have witnessed the lifelong benefits of inclusion of all in every setting. I have sought relationships with diverse others in order to increase understanding and use my privileges to advocate accordingly. As a school psychologist, I worked with families from all socioeconomic backgrounds and many cultures and backgrounds, and assured that their rights as student, parent, or guardian were respected and assured, breaking down barriers by establishing trust and lines of communication. I was an active member of GWAEA's Equity Advisory Committee, and upon my retirement, was asked to stay on the committee as a community representative. When teaching students at Loras College, I prioritized diversity in my daily activities on campus, including serving as a member of the Diversity Committee and by providing opportunities for students to learn about the rights of all individuals, especially those who were from underrepresented groups, received special education services, and/or were members of the LGBTQ+ community. Library: I have held a library card and found the library to be a valuable resource since I was 5 years old, in each place I have lived since my childhood. I am currently a school psychologist who will soon retire, and I have also taught in higher education as well as held other paid and volunteer positions including a volunteer adult literacy tutor. As an assistant professor at Loras College for 7 years, I led various courses in the teacher preparation program. My highest priority during these years was to help future teachers understand the importance of literacy and the need to support ALL students regardless of academic ability, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, or any other categorization that society determines. In the 14 years I have served students and families in two of Iowa's Area Education Agencies, in rural and urban areas, I have continually urged families to utilize the many beneficial services provided by their local libraries. I share my positive perspective of reading, books, and libraries with students, especially those with whom I work who have experienced difficulty learning to read; helping them understand that they are capable and can learn in multisensory ways in addition to reading print materials (as they improve their reading skills) is one of my top goals. In our current political climate, I am increasingly concerned about the limiting of access to information in all formats to the citizens of our Nation and State. Being a member of the ICPL Board of Trustees would provide me with additional opportunities to advocate for free and equitable access to information at the local level and perhaps also serve as an avenue to expand my efforts in promoting the indispensability of public libraries now and in the future. I am proud to say that my daughter, Hannah, is a former employee of ICPL and a graduate of the UI Library and Information Science program. Through her work in public libraries in Wisconsin since her graduation, I have developed knowledge of issues public libraries face, innovative programming ideas, and potential opportunities for additional services to benefit children, youth, and adults. Janine Kane What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? Human Rights: I have attended and actively participated in events offered by the City that relate to diversity and inclusion. Through conversations that occurred at these events, I have become more aware of challenges that are present in our community regarding civil rights and discrimination, and was encouraged to apply for a position on this committee. I am greatly concerned about the current political climate in our State and Nation, as it appears that human rights are continually debated, not equitably available, and are subject to removal for certain groups. I support our State Motto: liberties are essential for all Iowa and U.S. residents, and believe rights need to not only be maintained but also to be expanded appropriately. I would appreciate the opportunity to apply my experience and knowledge to aid the City in assuring that individuals' rights are not infringed upon. Library: My understanding is that the Library Board of Trustees plans and directs policy and procedures for the Iowa City Public Library. Funding, goal -setting, and employment decisions are important functions of the Board. Members are appointed for six -year terms. If selected to serve, it is my plan to use my knowledge and experiences as I collaborate with members of the Board, library staff, and community stakeholders to positively impact the future of ICPL.

Library, Board of Trustees Board Member Information: 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: I have been an avid user of libraries my entire life. My patronage has inspired a desire to become involved in an additional role within the library community. As a child I remember going to my local library every week. My siblings and I went regularly during the summer to attend story time, play in the children's room and pick out a variety of books to enjoy at home. In 2015 1 moved to Iowa City to complete a PhD in microbiology at the University of Iowa. Over the last 10 years my interactions with ICPL have grown and evolved depending on my needs. While in grad school I often used the library to fill my free time, reading books for pleasure, attending a program on occasion, and using the building as a study space. My educational background has instilled in me the importance of learning. Having access to knowledge and information is an invaluable resource in our community. During the past 2 years the library has become a regular outing with my two young children. We find ourselves at the library multiple times each week attending story time, checking out books, playing with toys and gaining social skills alongside other children visiting the space. These experiences have expanded my appreciation for the library in my life and my understanding of the value ICPL provides for the community. The library provides more than just books to read. I've found myself in the lobby at 9:55am waiting for the gate to open and seen the myriad of community members waiting to enter the space. Whether they can't wait to get their books, they are looking for a place to warm up and relax while working on a puzzle, they need computer access or simply enjoy chatting with the librarians. I have come to understand that the library is a vital public resource. My experiences have led me to appreciate the importance of the public library as the heart of the community and would be honored to act as a steward of the library community. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? My understanding of the role of the Library Board of Trustees is to oversee the running of the library. The board works to revise and set new policies for operation, assure budgets are spent appropriately and oversee the hiring of library directors. Overall the board helps assure the library services serve the community.

Library, Board of Trustees Board Member Information: 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: I have served on nonprofit and advisory boards in the past, including PATV locally, and am currently on the Leadership Committee for the South District Neighborhood Association and the board of A Rubric for Democracy. I therefore have experience in the kind of relationship that a board has with the organization that it supervises and supports. I am also aware that unfortunately, the current library Executive Director will be leaving us soon. I expect the hiring process will take some time, and I have experience on hiring committees as well that I can bring to the table if it is still in progress by the time the new board members' terms begin. As an attorney, I have some familiarity with laws that the library is subject to; but because my focus is on small businesses and IP, I am very aware that the city attorney liaison knows much more about it than I do. I expect my role as an attorney will be to ask good questions in order to help the full board make good decisions. As an activist, I have experience approaching government officials to try to work with them to get the best possible outcome for the causes I care about. I understand that the LBOT engages in some advocacy activities for the library at the state and local levels. I also have a sister who is a librarian, which gives me some insight into the challenges librarians face that get less public attention, from big things like disruptive or even violent patrons to small things like having to stand near the door in the cold for hours working the front desk. I believe LBOT needs to support all staff in these matters, large to small, and work with them to find ways to improve their working conditions. And of course, as a parent and a community member, I have a great deal of experience with using the library's programs. We have spent many hours in the children's section together, gone to many of the public educational programs, and my older children love the teen workspaces as a place to work on projects or safely spend time with friends. To say nothing of the huge variety of books (physical, digital, and audio) we have checked out over the years. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? I have spoken with a current LBOT member and the current Executive Director. I am aware that the library is facing a number of challenges right now, including funding issues and changes to the law. I am also aware that the library provides a number of excellent and helpful programs for our community --I have often told people that it would be possible to run a small business out of the library with all the resources available, and when I met with him, our current director affirmed that we do have some community members who do exactly that. I also know that serving on the LBOT involves some advocacy work for the library, membership in library organizations to learn more about how libraries function, and serving on subcommittees to make recommendations to the full LBOT, in addition to regular monthly meetings.

Interests & Experiences Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: I am currently a staff scientist at the University of Iowa, with a PhD in Neuroscience. I have a deep-seated passion for lifelong learning, which is exemplified by my career in research. To me, research embodies the continuous pursuit of knowledge and the critical evaluation of information. This mindset has brought me to the library time and again —both as a student and a professional —as an essential resource in my academic and intellectual journey. Through the pursuit of my PhD, I have developed skills that I believe are directly relevant to a position on the Board of Trustees. I have strong planning, organization, and project management experience, and I regularly communicate complex topics to both expert and lay audiences. My research background has also provided me with abundant experience in writing and evaluating grant applications, especially from federal institutions. Throughout my time at Iowa, I have worked to promote literacy and equitable access to information. I've served as a teaching assistant and tutor at the university, roles that require empathy, patience, and the ability to meet learners where they are. I have also been actively involved in STEM outreach events, serving both urban and rural communities, and helping young people envision themselves in scientific careers. My love of libraries started well before my professional career. My first job as a teenager was as a student clerk aide at the Davenport Public Library. In that role, I gained firsthand experience with the wide range of services libraries provide and the essential role they play as safe, inclusive spaces within their communities. I've continued to be an avid library user throughout my life, whether studying in school libraries, participating in community events, attending book sales, or simply finding comfort in the quiet, safe, and welcoming space a library provides. As a younger candidate, I bring a fresh perspective and am in touch with the needs of a different subset of our community. With my background in STEM, higher education, and community outreach, I believe I would be a valuable addition to the Board of Trustees. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? The Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees plays a vital role in guiding nearly all aspects of the library's operations. The board helps allocate funding, sets strategic goals for how the library serves the community, and creates and implements policies to support those goals. It also hires and oversees staff involved in fulfilling board responsibilities. Meetings are held monthly, are open to the public, and are recorded and posted to the Iowa City government website. I'm excited by the board's hands-on role in shaping the library's mission and future. With my background in research, education, and community engagement, I'm eager to contribute to that mission and help ensure the library remains a vibrant, inclusive, and responsive institution for everyone.

Library, Board of Trustees Board Member Information: Eligible Preference on first choice (If multiple boards are being applied for.) Interests & Experiences Katie Priske Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: Libraries have been important spaces to me for my entire life. As a child, I grew up in the library in my small town in rural Iowa. I remember browsing the shelves and checking out giant stacks of books to read in our overstuffed, floral chair at home. I was an avid reader and loved getting lost in the world of a book. I loved to read aloud to my younger brother, drawing him into a story. My mom read many books aloud to my entire family. Living in a small town, the library was an important place for access to books. While growing up, my dad also served on the Board of Trustees for our library and helped get a new library built to better serve the needs of our community. As an adult, I have continued to use and love libraries. Whenever I moved someplace new, including moving to Iowa City for college, the first thing I did was get my library card. I recognize the power of a library card, not only for checking out books, but for getting access to necessary resources. For example, while I lived in Denver, CO, I saw how the downtown library branch was a hub for various kinds of social support. The library is not only a space for checking out physical books, but it is a vital and multifaceted resource to connect people to resources and information both within and beyond the community it serves. Now, I am a parent to an almost sixteen -month old. The library continues to be an important support to me during this new role in my life. My daughter and I regularly attend Book Babies and StoryJam. Most times, my mom comes along because of the fun and joy in seeing my daughter engage through these programs. These programs have given my daughter and I a welcoming community space to explore literacy and songs through outstanding programming with professional librarians. It has exposed us both to new literature to explore together both during programming and books checked out to read at home. We have both also developed friendships in this community space that extend beyond the physical library, and helped us to connect to other new parents in our town. We look forward to our Wednesday and Friday mornings at the library each week. In addition to being an avid patron of the library in my personal life, my professional life has been devoted to the study of literacy. I received my Masters in Rhetoric and Scientific and Technical Communications at the University of Minnesota and my Bachelor's degree in English at the University of Iowa. I am currently completing my doctorate in the College of Education in the Language, Literacy, and Culture program. For my dissertation work, I hosted a book club with high school students where we read and discussed banned or challenged young adult literature. I wanted to understand more about how youth readers respond to these texts. During our book club, we had meaningful discussions about the harm of censorship and book banning and the importance of representation in literature. While in graduate school, I also completed coursework and student teaching to become a certified 6-12 English Language Arts teacher. Prior to beginning my doctoral work, I worked for a nonprofit in Denver, CO called Reading Partners. During my time as the regional site coordinator, Reading Partners served ten Denver Public Schools, providing a literacy intervention program. We trained volunteers from the community to serve as tutors implementing our curriculum with K-4 students. I helped facilitate this program at the schools we partnered with by tutoring students, assisting volunteers, developing and implementing tutor trainings, and looking at trends across the region. My education and professional experience have equipped me with critical thinking, research, and writing skills that would serve me well as a trustee. In both my personal and professional life, I am passionate about the maintenance and improvement of libraries as a public good, both for access to materials and services. I feel extremely grateful to raise my daughter in a town that has such a strong library. I am eager to serve on the Board of Trustees to ensure the library continues to flourish in Iowa City. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? I am interested in serving on the Board of Trustees for the Iowa City Public Library. I know that as a trustee, I would serve for six years and must live in Iowa City. During this time, I would "set policy, determine goals and objectives, direct the use of monies appropriated or gifted to the Library, and to employ staff" (from the Iowa City Public Library website). I recognize the responsibility that comes with reviewing and revising existing policy, as well as developing new policies based on new challenges. As libraries are increasingly under threat, I view my role as a trustee to advocate for policies, goals, and objectives that align with the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights. I am eager to serve the library through the role of a trustee.

P Yes a No Interests & Experiences Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: I am a member of the Johnson County Affordable Housing Coalition and, along with my partner, assisted (on a pro bono basis) the Coalition in developing their current strategic plan. I served as co-chair of the United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties 2022 annual campaign and then joined the organization's board in 2024. 1 currently serve as treasurer and as chair of the internal operations committee for the United Way board. United Way supports many of the same agencies that Aid to Agencies supports. Before my retirement in 2017, 1 had a 31-year career at the University of Iowa, in roles ranging from faculty member to Vice Provost and finally as Vice President for Student Life. In that capacity, I led a division with over 500 employees and a budget of over $100 million. I also provided leadership for several large capital projects, including two residence halls, which were the first residence halls built at the university for over 40 years. From my retirement through last year, 1, along with my partner, ran a small strategic planning firm. Our clients were in the non-profit and government sectors, with most of them being academic consortia. In our practice, we shared our expertise in quickly developing effective, low -overhead strategic plans that were flexible enough to respond to changes in the client's environment. I have had a chance to learn more about city functions through my service on the Iowa City Public Library Board, including two years as president. My service on the ICPL Board of Trustees ends on June 30, 2025. Thomas (tom) Rocklin What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? I had a very helpful meeting with staff members from Neighborhood and Development Services to better understand the role of the HCDC. I understand that the commission reviews applications and makes recommendations to the Council on funding distributions for programs such as Aid to Agencies, reviews goals and accomplishments for certain federal funding programs, promotes relevant community programs, participates in educational presentations from partner agencies, provides input from time to time on the city's housing and community development policies, and hears comments from members of the public. I understand that in contrast to the governance role that the ICPL Board of Trustees (on which my service is ending) serves, the Housing and Community Development Commission serves an advisory role.

My two degrees are in English Literature and Data Science, giving me a unique background and perspective that incorporates the arts as well as data interpretation and application. While pursuing the degree in Data Science, my individual studies emphasized language acquisition, public health, and data ethics. In particular, I aim to ensure that data and statistics are used responsibly to highlight areas of inequity rather than reinforcing existing, inequitable structures. In my current role at the University of Iowa, I focus on accessibility, data privacy, and equity as it comes to the university's online presences. I believe this work, while in a separate space, largely overlaps with the core tenets of librarianship. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in?

Interests & Experiences Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: I have an MA in Library and Information Science (University of Iowa, 2015) as well as work/volunteer experience in academic, school, and public libraries (in Iowa and Massachusetts). I have been an avid ICPL patron since the week I moved to town 15 years ago (and public libraries have been deeply important to me my entire life), and I feel that the ICPL is one of Iowa City's biggest assets and most important community resources. Through my work with Public Space One (as well as other experiences) I feel that I have developed a good understanding of local community needs that would be relevant to serving on the ICPL Board of Trustees, and equally as important, I am committed to continuing to build that understanding. I also have experience with finance, policies, and strategic planning through the nonprofit/community-serving lens. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? After reviewing the by-laws and minutes of a number of Library Board of Trustees meetings, am beginning to develop my knowledge of the role of the board, not unlike the board of a 501(c)(3), with responsibility for the financial health of the library, overarching goals and policies, and supporting the expert staff of the ICPL -- as well as participating as members of the ICPL Friends Foundation. I an excited at the potential of supporting our library through these activities, as well as the major upcoming task of selecting a new library director following Elsworth Carman's departure. In addition, I understand that this is a very crucial and challenging time for public libraries in Iowa and the United States with threats to funding and legislative content restrictions and am prepared to collaboratively strategize on how to meet these challenges as well as strongly advocate for and support our library's staff and patrons' right to freedom of information, local control of libraries, and trust in librarians.

Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) Board Member Information: Eligible Preference on first choice (If multiple boards are being applied for.) Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) Interests & Experiences Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: As a former co-chair of the UI Presidential Sustainability Charter Committee, I have learned to navigate the university's Shared Governance processes and have been involved in campus -wide efforts. These opportunities gave me new appreciation and knowledge on the campus/greater community ecosystem and how all individuals and entities have a role to play in bettering joint visions and outcomes. I am also a past director -at -large of the Northside Neighborhood Association (NNA), where I've been exposed to the intricacies of planning (as well as Historic Preservation and other governmental subject matters). As a staff -member at the Iowa City Public Library, early in my time in town, I also gained relevant acumen sitting in and taking minutes at Friends Foundation Board and Book End Committee meetings. While my role did not entail decision -making per se, supporting both entities in their missions was very enriching and furthered my interest in public service. As a local citizen, who has scrutinized, supported, as well as benefited from Planning & Zoning decision -making, I would very much appreciate the opportunity to combine professional and service experience in a P&Z role. Finally, as a "transplant" to Iowa City, having grown up in urban centers in Brittany, France*, gone to college in another French city then Boston, MA and having lived in a smaller New Hampshire town, I have seen first hand how a range of cities have both come to be and the impact of their own zoning decisions, for instance. * While I was 2-7 years -old, my father was "Vice -President de la Communaute Urbaine de Brest" i.e., VP of the Brest Metropolis entity in charge of planning. While this is a rather tenuous second-hand experience to P&Z, I do recall that my father very much appreciated being of service to our hometown. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? I have perused a number of agendas/appendices/comprehensive plans, attended (and addressed) several P&Z meetings, discussed P&Z matters with neighbors - including for NNA business - and acquaintances. I am aware of P&Z Commission Board duties, meeting times/frequencies and interconnectedness to other commissions' and council business.

Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) Board Member Information: 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: I work in the commercial construction sector as preconstruction project manager. My primary role is managing the planning stage of commercial construction projects from design, final bidding through permitting. I work on projects in many different municipalities and states. Each requires research and understanding of the unique requirements and approval processes of the local authority. Some projects have required rezoning approval through a Planning and Zoning Committee similar to Iowa City's. My professional responsibility is to make sure the project moves efficiently through the process for the project Owner. In addition to my professional experiences I also have a deep understanding of the Iowa City community. I was born and raised in this great community and have experienced living, learning and working in many different areas. I recently completed the Community Leadership Program through Greater IC and had the privilege of discovering an even deeper understanding of the many sectors within the Iowa City community. Through the CLP program I have been encouraged to participate and engage more fully within my community. I believe serving on the P&Z Committee would be a great way to serve my community by bringing my professional knowledge and personal passion for the growth, resilience and sustainability of Iowa City. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? I have a strong base knowledge of local zoning codes and approval procedures through my professional work in the construction and development sector. I have also followed local development and zoning issues closely for many years.

My coursework has included topics such as Planning Livable Cities, Natural Resource Economics, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)—all of which directly relate to community development and housing accessibility. Professionally, I have supported faculty and researchers in the health sciences through roles in IT and data management, developing technical documentation, managing data systems, and ensuring accessibility and efficiency across departments. These experiences have strengthened my analytical skills, familiarity with public data systems, and commitment to community -focused work. In my role as Garden Manager for the University of Iowa Community Gardens, I've led budgeting, funding efforts, and sustainability initiatives focused on food accessibility and resource equity — experiences that align with the commission's emphasis on low and moderate income resident needs. I also serve on the University's Information Technology Advisory Committee, where I help evaluate university -wide systems and recommend improvements —similar to the policy review and advisory nature of this commission. I currently work as a Data Analyst for the Office of Statewide Clinical Education Programs, where I examine problems with rural healthcare deserts and medical access in Iowa. Combined, these experiences reflect my interest in housing policy, sustainable urban development, and inclusive public engagement, and I would be honored to contribute to this work in a meaningful way. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? Housing and Community Development Commission: From what I understand, this commission helps shape the policies and programs that support affordable housing, job access, and services for low- and moderate -income residents. I'm especially interested in its role connecting public input with how the city allocates resources. In my current role as a Data Analyst, I work on identifying healthcare access issues in underserved areas of Iowa, which gives me a helpful perspective on addressing service gaps and supporting equity, skills I'd love to bring to this commission. Historic Preservation Commission: I know this commission focuses on identifying and protecting places in Iowa City that have historic, architectural, or cultural value, and it helps review proposed changes to those areas. I've developed an interest in preservation through my studies in Environmental Policy and Planning, especially in courses focused on land use and planning. My experience managing the University of Iowa Community Gardens has also sparked an appreciation for how intentional spaces can reflect and support community identity over time. Planning and Zoning Commission: I see this commission as helping guide the city's long-term growth by advising on zoning and land use changes. Through my coursework like Planning Livable Cities and GIS, I've explored how cities plan for things like housing, transportation, and green space, and how zoning can impact access and quality of life. I'd be excited to bring what I've learned about equitable planning and data -informed decision -making to the table.

Please take extra care opening any links or attachments. ** This message is from an external sender. Good morning Stefanie, I hope your week is off to a great start. I've been doing some reflection, and with everything currently on my plate, I've realized I haven't been able to fully show up in my role as a commissioner the way I'd like to. In addition to a busy schedule and multiple responsibilities, I've recognized the need to prioritize my mental health. With that in mind, I've decided to step down from the commission to make space for someone who can fully commit to the work, and to give myself the time to focus on well-being. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to have served and for all the meaningful work being done. Thank you for your understanding and support
