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. Copy to: Housing and Community Development Commission MINUTES HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MARCH 24, 2025 — 6:30 PM FORMAL MEETING E M MA J. 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. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0. 4 Housing and Community Development Commission March 24, 2025 Page 5 of 5 Housing and Community Development Commission Attendance Record 2023-2025 Name Terms Exp. 10/19 11/16 3/21 4/18 5/16 6/13 8/19 9/16 10/21 3/24 Balde, Daouda 6/30/27 -- -- -- -- -- -- A A P A Borgen, Horacio 6/30/25 -- -- A A P P P A A P Dennis, Maryann 6/30/25 P P P P P P P P P P Kiche, Amos 6/30/25 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- P Kivarkis, George 6/30/27 -- -- -- -- -- -- P P A P Krotz, Karol 6/30/27 P P A A P P A P P A Patel, Kiran 6/30/26 A P A A P P P P P Pierce, James 6/30/26 P P A P P P A P A Szecsei, Denise 6/30/25 -- P P P P A P A P Vogel, Kyle 6/30/26 A P P P A A P P P P Key: P = Present A = Absent * = Resigned -- = Vacant NOTICE THE CITY COUNCIL OF IOWA CITY IS CONSIDERING APPOINTMENT TO THE FOLLOWING COMMISSION: HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION Two Vacancies: Unexpired terms, upon appointment — June 30, 2026 • Duties of the Housing and Community Development Commission include: assessing and reviewing policies and planning documents related to the provision of housing, jobs, and services for low- and moderate -income residents; • reviewing policies and programs of the Public Housing Authority and Community Development Division and make recommendations regarding the same to the City Council; • reviewing and making recommendations to the City Council regarding the use of public funds to meet the needs of low- and moderate -income residents; housing policies and programs and seeking public participation in assessing needs and identifying strategies to meet these needs; recommending to the City Council from time -to -time amendments, supplements, changes, and modifications to the Iowa City Housing Code. • The Housing and Community Development Commission will have monthly meetings Iowa City -appointed members of boards and commissions must be at least 18 years of age and live in Iowa City.

(. 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 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.

Public Art Advisory Committee Board Member Information: Eligible Preference on first choice (If multiple boards are being applied for.) Question applies to Public Art Advisory Committee Board Member Information Public Art Advisory Committee Category * W Art or Design Professional Interests & Experiences Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: As both an Iowa City resident and practicing artist, I've thought a lot about what role I want to embody as an artist -citizen, especially in my local community. I hold an MFA in photography from University of New Mexico (I got my BFA in photo from Ulowa), and moved back to the Iowa City area in 2012 in order to teach for one semester as a Visiting Assistant Professor at UI and have stayed in the area ever since. I have and continue to make photographic bodies of work which I exhibit on a semi -regular basis both locally and regionally. In 2016 1 was granted an Iowa Arts Council Fellowship (only 5 are awarded each year across all disciplines including visual arts, music, writing, etc) which afforded me the opportunity to give lectures about my work throughout the state as well as to sit on IAC jury panels, which has given me an insight into the foray of arts organizations and activities within the state. I occasionally serve as adjunct faculty at Ulowa, teaching both beginning and advanced photography students. I would love to help shape the local art offerings in my own community and am particularly interested in seeing some grassroots endeavors take hold, especially in this new era of NEA/arts funding turmoil. If needed, I am happy to provide a CV. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? I don't know too much about it other than it helps to shape policies and award grants for public art projects within Iowa City. A current board member, Rachel Kinker, told me about this opportunity and it sounds like the sort of citizen -artist work I am interested in engaging with.
