Comments I am making application for reappointment to the
Arts and Cultural Affairs Advisory Commission.
At this time, I am requesting a second term on
the commission.
I am sorry I can't be there in person to introduce
myself, but I am involved in a production for Fly-
By-Night Productions that opens this week and it
is necessary that I attend rehearsals. As a co-
founder of the company, I am proud to say this is
the final production of our 23rd season.
During my first term the commission addressed
many issues. We tailored the forms and
requirements for the grants the commission
awards in order to clarify and simply the process.
We requested and received approval for
changing membership requirements for the
commission. We modified the timeline for Art on
the River so that me are more successful in
securing the desired sculptures. In addition to
other work.
i
Page 1236 of 1594
During a second term I hope to aid the
commission in adapting a new model for the
Creative Cafes, to continue exploring ways to
make the grants we award more affective and
easy to access, to continue to examine the
makeup of the commission, and to keep finding
ways to make the commission an effective
resource in the Dubuque community.
As an individual who has had the privilege of
collaborating with the vast number of art
organizations in the city I also feel that my
membership on this commission allows me to
continue to be an affective voice in the arts
community.
I thank you for your time and consideration.

Comments Mayor Cavanagh, Councilmembers Resnick,
Staver, Leyendecker, Roussell, Sprank, and
Wethal,
I'm writing to respectfully request reappointment
to the Carnegie-Stout Public Library Board of
Trustees for a second term. Having completed
my first four-year term —and the past year as
Vice President— I'm eager to continue.
It's been a productive four years including the
$958,000 grant funded renovation project which
recently advanced to the bid phase after months
of careful planning. That project is a direct
investment in the arts, culture, and livable
neighborhood goals the city has committed to
through 2030, and I'd like to see it through to
completion.
The skills I bring have turned out to be directly
applicable. My work as a partner at Medical
Associates—combined with an MBA and
i
Page 1238 of 1594
experience on institutional boards—makes the
budget reviews, capital planning, and
governance work feel familiar. I also teach at the
University of Dubuque PA program, which keeps
me connected to workforce and community
education priorities that the library shares.
More broadly, the library is one of the most
concrete expressions of Dubuque's 2040 vision
in action —a space that is genuinely inclusive,
where all are welcome, and where that is true by
design rather than aspiration. I don't take that
lightly. I'd be honored to keep contributing to it.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best,
Andy

Comments Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council,
My name is Tasha Rosenbaum, and I am writing
to introduce myself as an applicant for the
Dubuque Library Board.
I am an Instructional Designer who works
primarily with adult learners, creating educational
programs and learning experiences that help
people develop new skills and achieve their
goals. My professional work has given me a
deep appreciation for lifelong learning, access to
information, and educational opportunities that
help individuals and communities thrive.
In addition to my professional background, I am
both a library user and a parent. As a library
patron, I have seen firsthand the value that the
Dubuque Public Library provides through its
collections, programs, technology resources, and
welcoming spaces. As a parent, I appreciate the
important role libraries play in fostering literacy,
i
Page 1240 of 1594
curiosity, and a love of learning in children and
families.
I am interested in serving on the Library Board
because I believe libraries are essential
community institutions that support people at
every stage of life. I would welcome the
opportunity to contribute my experience in
education, program development, and
collaboration to help ensure the library continues
to meet the evolving needs of our community.
Thank you for considering my application and for
your service to the residents of Dubuque. I
appreciate the opportunity to introduce myself
and would be honored to serve on the Library
Board.
Sincerely,
Tasha

Comments My name is Matthew Kline, and I appreciate the
opportunity to be considered for the Historic
Preservation Commission.
I am a resident and property owner in Dubuque's
historic district, and the Old Main Street area has
been my home for the past 16 years since
moving to Dubuque. Living there has given me a
deep, personal appreciation for the character,
history, and everyday value of these spaces. Not
just as buildings, but as part of a living
community.
Over that time, I've also seen periods where
growth and activity on Old Main Street have
slowed. That's something that matters to me
personally, and it's a big part of why I'm
interested in serving. I would like to help support
thoughtful efforts that encourage renewed
energy and sustainable growth in the district,
while still preserving the historic character that
makes it unique.
My goal in serving on the Commission is to
support balanced preservation efforts that allow
Dubuque to grow without losing its identity. I'm
particularly interested in:
i
Page 1245 of 1594
• Encouraging adaptive reuse so historic
buildings remain active, functional, and
economically viable
• Supporting decisions that are both practical and
respectful of historic character
• Helping guide preservation in a way that keeps
areas like Old Main Street vibrant and relevant
for the long term
I see this role as an opportunity to contribute in a
meaningful and lasting way to help preserve
what makes Dubuque special while also
supporting its continued evolution.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Comments Greeting Council Members,
My name is Aaron Higgins. This email is an
introduction and request for consideration
regarding a position on the city's long-term
planning committee. Unfortunately, I was
ignorant of the timing of the formal introduction
meeting for potential candidates. Ms. Gleason
informed me by email that the next best option is
this electronic communication.
I grew up in Grand Blanc, MI and attended the
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where I
earned a bachelor's degree in Film &Video
Studies. Later, I attended the U. of M. campus in
Flint and earned a master's degree in
Elementary Education. I moved to Dubuque in
2006 because this is my wife, Abbey's,
hometown. We are both elementary school
teachers in the Dubuque public school system.
Both of my children, Tomas (17) and Lucy (14),
have been raised here. They will be students at
i

Dubuque Senior this year. My affections for the
city and the greater region have grown deep
roots over the last 20 years.
Now that our children are getting a bit older and
our retirement years are looming on the distant
horizon (I was born in 1975), I've been looking
for ways to become more involved in local
governance. Given the many challenges
humanity collectively faces, from the global scale
down to the household scale, this committee
seems like as good a place as any to continue
helping where I can. The resilience committee
was also of interest to me, and I have started the
process of learning more about creating a
neighborhood association.
I appreciate you all taking the time to read this
message and consider me for a position on the
long-term planning committee. If you need
anything else from me, please let me know at
563-564-2053 or alfhiggins75@gmail.com. Good
luck in your decision-making process. Take care.
Sincerely,
Aaron Higgins

Comments Hello City Council Members,
Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the City
Council meeting on June 15th to speak regarding
my application to volunteer on the Zoning
Advisory Commission as I am traveling out of
town.
I loved growing up in Dubuque and chose to
move back here in 2024 with my wife to raise our
2 kids. After returning I attended various
programs (Distinctively Dubuque, City Life,
Architecture tours etc.)to get reacquainted with
our city and felt called to get involved and
contribute.
After attending the University of lowa, I made my
way out to Yellowstone where I met my wife and
spent the next 10 years living in Poland, traveling
around Europe and building my career as a
Senior IT Project Manager for a large company
out of Memphis. In Poland I lived in a city that
was developed in the 1950s to be the "ideal" city
for citizens at that time and this sparked my love
and interest of architecture and city planning.
i

I would love to share my skills and perspective
with the Zoning Advisory Commission and thank
you for your consideration.
