MEMORANDUM
Date: May 28, 2019
To: Geoff Fruin, City Manager
From: Kirk Lehmann, Community Development Planner
Re: Housing and Community Development Commission Vacancy
Effective May 20, 2019, a vacancy opened on the Housing and Community Development
Commission (HCDC). The vacancy was announced on the June 4, agenda. The term will run from
the date it is filled until June 30, 2021.
As a reminder, the by-laws of the commission state that at least one person from each of the
following categories shall be appointed to HCDC when possible to satisfy the purpose and intent
of the citizen commission:
• One person with expertise in construction;
• One person with expertise in finance; and
• One person who receives rental assistance.
To my knowledge, we do not have any current members who receive rental assistance. HCDC
currently has members with experience working at a credit union as well as experience serving
as a board member of an affordable housing developer. Appointing commission members who
meet the criteria of the by-laws will be advantageous to fulfilling the role of HCDC, which includes
reviewing applications and making recommendations for projects benefiting low- and moderate -
income persons, including affordable housing projects. Staff asks that City Council keeps the
commission by-laws in mind as they review applications for the vacant position.

The Housing and Community Development Commission makes recommendations to the City Council
regarding the distribution of federal CBDG/HOME funds. The general rule is that no persons who exercise
or have exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to federally funded activities, or who are in
a position to participate in the decision—making process or gain inside information with regard to such
activities, may obtain a financial interest or benefit from a federally -assisted activity, or have a financial
interest in any contract, subcontract, agreement with respect to the proceeds of the federally—assisted
activity, either for themselves or those with whom they have business or immediate family ties, during their
tenure or for one year thereafter.
Section 362.5 of the Code of Iowa generally Prohibits, with certain important exceptions, a member of a
city Board or Commission from having an interest in a city contract. Section 362.5

Experience and/or activities which you feel qualifyyou for this position:*
I believe that my time living as a low income/at risk of homelessness resident of Iowa City has given me a
unique perspective. My living situations have fluctuated my entire life but especially the last decade in Iowa City
where my work or school was so varying. I have lived and dealt with multiple rental property businesses and
have dealt with a multitude of the problems that come into living in some of these locations. I was almost
evicted earlier this year after having been laid off from my work. I was able to secure work after using some of
the resources that Iowa City offers such as general assistance and the food bank for food.
While I was handling these obstacles I was also completing my third year as a commissioner on the historic
preservation commission where I served as vice chair for the last half year(I became vice chair before all of the
disaster that was my life really started kicking in and everything fell apart) and continued to be a contributing
member to the commission despite the personal and housing problems that I was facing. I enjoyed serving the
community as a member of this commission and thought it might be interesting to broaden my horizons and try
to serve the city and use my e>periences and perspective to improve conversations on lower income housing,
homelessness, and underemployment on the HCD.
What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in?*
The Housing and Community Development commission appears to be a commission that represents the
residents of Iowa City in regards to lower income housing and building a community that can help provide jobs
and opportunity to everyone regardless of socioeconomic class. This could be done through outreach,
programs, jobs assistance etc.
The Historic Preservation Commission is a group of representatives that review proposals from city residents
for updating, replacing, or repairing houses that are of historical value to the community. Other tasks this
commission take responsibility for are helping decide on historical preservation districts in the Iowa City area
and designating different houses and buildings as historically important to the character and architecture of
the city. Its because of this commission that the rich character of Iowa City has been preserved for so long
without letting an abundance of modern development and construction take away from that character.
Please contact the City Attorney at 356-5030 to discuss questions or concerns regarding a potential conflict
of interest. The following describe some but not all potential conflicts.
