Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position:*
What I hope to bring the Board of Adjustments is a my breadth of experience and connections with the various
parts of life in Iowa City.
We have started out in Iowa City as renters and have now purchased a home in the Northside. I think this helps
me see the topics brought to the board from both the perspective of tenants and home owners.
Having a son in the Mann Elementary, helps me see Iowa City from the lens of the families that have chosen to
make this community theirs.
Although I have never been a business owner, my past experiences provide perspective into that part of life. I
have worked closely over the years with my parents who own a small business in Missouri. I also have a
Degree in Business Administration and Economics from the University of Missouri. I also spent 2 years as the
General Manager of a cafe in Arkansas.Outside of my current job, I am involved in the startup business
community around Merge as an organizer/pitching coach for 1 Million Cups weekly gathering.
I am also connected to the University through my wife who is pursuing graduate work at the Center for the
Book.
I also bring a global perspective to the table,having lived in 4 countries in both small towns and urban
environments.
Finally, I have lived in 3 College towns: Columbia MO, Fayetteville AR, Iowa City IA. Iowa City has been by far
our favorite and the reason is that there has been a lot of dedication and discussion to make decisions that
have strengthened this community and made it a great place to live. I hope to continue that as part of the
Board of Adjustment

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 15, 2019
To: Geoff Fruin, City Manager
From: Kirk Lehmann, Community Development Planner
Re: Housing and Community Development Commission Vacancy
Effective January 14, 2019, a vacancy opened up on the Housing and Community Development
Commission (HCDC). The vacancy will be announced on the January 22, agenda. The term will
run from the date it is filled until June 30, 2022.
As a reminder, the by-laws of the commission state that "to satisfy the purpose and intent of this
citizen commission, when possible, at least one person shall be appointed to the Housing and
Community Development Commission with expertise in construction and at least one person with
expertise in finance. In addition, when possible, the Commission shall include one person who
receives rental assistance."
To my knowledge, we do not have any current members who receive rental assistance or have
expertise in finance such as a commercial or residential lender. Please keep this in mind as you
assist City Council in seeking to fill the vacant position.
