TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Adrienne N. Breitfelder, City Clerk
DATE: April 11, 2022
SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Appointments to Boards and Commissions
The City Council reviewed their appointments to boards and commissions for calendar
year 2022 at the January 3, 2022, City Council meeting. Following that meeting, certain
board and commission terms remained unfilled due to the Ward 4 City Council Member
vacancy. Based on Council Member Wethal's recent election to the Ward 4 term, the City
Council must review all vacant board and commission terms to determine appointments.
The enclosed documents show current City Council board and commission appointments
sorted by commission name and by City Council Member name, respectively. The three
commissions with a "Pending" name represent the boards and commissions that need a
City Council Member appointed to them. The three boards or commissions are:
1. Dubuque Initiatives
2. Dubuque Main Street Board of Directors
3. Dubuque Main Street Executive Committee
The City Clerk's Office will notify the appropriate board and commission administrative
staff of the City Council Members appointed to the currently vacant board and commission
terms.
Thank you.
