Hi, Scott —
Would you be able to provide me with a specific date regarding your resignation? The City Clerk's Office needs a firm
date in order to notice the vacancy.
Thanks!

I will defer to you as to what you think is best. 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.
Thanks,
Scott

We have a rezoning application that we need to get on the 11/5 agenda and the City Attorney's Office didn't want to
have the memo on the same agenda as a rezoning. 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.

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.
Thanks, Anne

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.
Best,
Scott
