Subject: Late application for Iowa City Climate Action Commission
Il— I5 - 2 24
I (Date)
RISK
Iowa City Council Members:
I am presently the Chair of the Iowa City Climate Action Commission. When chairing a monthly Commission meeting on
November 1, 2021, I was reminded by city staff that my term on the commission expires on December 31st of this
year. Staff also asked if I intended to serve another term on the Climate Action Commission to which I indicated that I
would definitely be interested in continuing to serve.
Unfortunately, the process for applying for another term was not communicated to me and I missed yesterday's
deadline for"reapplying"for a position on the Iowa City Climate Climate action commission . Rachel Kilburg contacted
me this morning,apologizing that apparently no one had clarified processes and deadlines for reapplication to the the
commission and suggesting that I submit a late application. Rachel also suggested that it would be important for me to
notify the City Council via email that I had missed the deadline and respectfully request that my late application be
considered. I am hoping that this email request can be added as correspondence to the City Council's agenda packet for
next week's meeting.
Please be assured that I do not expect my application to be favored simply because I am presently a member of the Iowa
City Climate action Commission. I fully understand the importance of city rules and "level playing fields" for all
applicants to Iowa City Boards and Commissions and will fully respect your ultimate decision relative to my late
application. In the end, you are the the best judge of competency, passion and diversity in filling Iowa City board and
commission positions.
Thank you very much for you consideration,.
Respectfully,

Hi Matt.
I apologize that I have not been able to attend the last few meetings. I was hopeful I could attend
tonight, but unfortunately will not be able to again.
My heart is with the committee, but my mind is not at this time. The committee would be much better
served with someone who can provide the time and energy this important role deserves, and I truly
apologize for not being able to fulfill my commitment to the committee.
Thank you so much for your understanding. I know the committee will continue to make the best
decisions that foster greater affordability and equity for housing needs in IC.
Sincerely,
Theresa
