To whom it may concern,
I know to be a part of the Human Rights Commission of Iowa City you must reside in Iowa City.
I moved to Cedar Rapids after I graduated from the University of Iowa in December of 2012.
With applying to the Commission I fully intend on moving back to Iowa City and have already
lined up housing in Iowa City. If you choose to let me join the cause to end discrimination in the
Iowa City area I will be residing there. I just wanted to clarify this; in fear you would see my
current address and that would deter the commission from my application. I look forward to
hopefully being able to volunteer with the commission.
Best regards,
Rachel Campbell

Addendum to page 2 of the City of Iowa City Advisory Board f Comimssion /Committee
Application Form .
William Nusser, applicant
EXPERIENCE AND /OR ACTIVITIES WHICH YOU FEEL QUALIFY YOU FOR THIS POSITION:
I have worked in Iowa City for nearly 44 years and work in an industry (jewelry)
that requires a refined aesthetic sense and appreciation.
I served on the Friends Development Council of the University of Iowa Museum of
Art for three terms and was board chair twice.
I was on the Arts Fest board of directors for four years (before it became SOTA).
I have paid for the commision of an award - winning work of public art (BookMarks
public art project of the Iowa City Public Library: "Treasure Island" by Tam Bodkin
Bryk); consulted with the artist on the design concept; then I purchased this same
artwork and donated it to the City of Iowa City.
I have been a volunteer as well as a significant donor to the UI Museum of Art, have
chaired fundraising events for the UIMA, and enjoyed memberships in the Czech and
Slovak Museum and the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art "just up the road ".
I have hired artists to create public art through the two small and one large display
windows of Hands jewelers for four decades, and thus have private experience in
how the public can and does respond to public art. I have always considered it a
great obligation to the public to exhibit quality and originality in our display
windows by employing and collaborating with artists to present our merchandise
within the context of public art.
I am also the incoming president of the Iowa City Downtown District so I have had
indirect but insider experience with the downtown's BenchMarks program from its
inception to its currently emerging "second phase ".
Finally, I am the ICDD board representative as a stakeholder in the City of Iowa
City's downtown streetscape improvement project, which will necessarily involve
public art in many roles.
WHAT IS YOUR PRESENT KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ADVISORY BOARD?
I am personally acquainted with several committee members.
I have worked with Marcia HIingaman Bollinger in donating Tam Bryk`s BookMark
sculpture to the city and its current placement on the pedestrian plaza..
I continue to work with Rick Fosse and Mike Moran in my role as a representative of
the ICDD in the downtown streetscape project
(Addendum to page 2, continued)
I have passively paid attention to the work of this committee since its inception,
mostly through casual conversations with past and present committee members
and through local news reporting of the committee's activities.
WHAT CONTRIBUTIONS CAN YOU MAKE TO THISADVISORYBOARD (REASON FOR
APPLYING)?
I am applying to fill the remaining term of a departing member, so I think this is
helpful to the committee. I am acquainted well enough with most of the committee
members and the city staff so I would not experience the same learning curve as
others with less experience working together with this group. Through my
business, I have had experience in presenting public art, experiencing public art,
selecting public art and donating public art. As a board member of the Iowa City
Downtown District, I think there might be the potential benefit of my awareness of
opportunities for collaboration or avoiding overlap between this committee and the
ICDD. As a lifelong resident of Iowa City, as a local business owner, and as a parent
who has brought up my children in this great city, I feel obligated to return my
gratitude and good fortune in having had the benefit of all of the amenities this city
offers, including public art, by "paying it forward" through public service. I tend not
to be very political, which could also be a plus, so service on this committee would
seem a good fit for my abilities and desires.

Subject: Resignation from Parks and Rec.
Marian,
Due to a series of unforeseen (but not unfortunate) events, we sold our house (not even listed) but quickly found a new
place to live. Regretfully, this "new place" is in Coralville. As an unintended consequence of this pending move, I
understand I no longer qualify to be on the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Commission.
Therefore, I must sadly resign from this commission effective June 28, 2013. I've already notified Mike, and he's cc'd on
this note as verification.
I enjoyed my brief stint on this commission, and truly wish there was a loop -hole for me to continue. Absent that, I
suppose you'll have to post the opening.
Thank you very much for your work with the City, and thank you and the council for the opportunity to participate /serve
on this terrific commission.
Kind regards, -a.t.
