I would be happy to do November 19 (but agree it likely doesn't make sense to hold a special meeting just for this) or December 3. Alternatively, if you would prefer to present it to the Commission on October 15, that is okay as well.

We could look to put it on 11/19, though? We could get a rezoning application, but at this point I don't think we'll have any cases for 11/19.

Would you be open to moving the memo to the meeting after I return (November 5)? 1 think it will be a good opportunity to focus the commission on how they should approach the decision -making process. Thank you again for putting it together. On Thu, Oct 9, 2025, 1:52 PM Anne Russett <ARuss-e#t@iawa!r- .org> wrote: Hi, Scott — Thanks for letting us know. I appreciate the heads up and I appreciate your service on the Commission. Your legal background has been very valuable and it'll be hard to replace. I think you are the first and only lawyer I've worked with on the Commission! Wish you best in Chicago! I was planning on having the memos on next week. Do you want to plan to watch the meeting after the fact? Or if you just want to read the memos that will suffice, too.

Hi Anne, I am writing to let you know that we will be moving back to Chicago at the end of the year, so I will need to resign from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Please let me know how I can best facilitate a smooth transition. I would be happy to attend a couple of additional meetings to work through the memo staff prepared and to elect a new chair. I will not be able to attend on October 15, though, as I will be traveling. It has been a pleasure to work with you and your team. You have each displayed considerable expertise, and consistently been thoughtful, patient and prepared throughout your presentations. The people of Iowa City are very fortunate to have you.
