TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Bill Callahan, Dubuque Initiatives Board President ~~,,~,,~„~
SUBJECT: City Council Representatives for Dubuque Initiatives Board of Directors
DATE: December 28, 2007
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum presents for City Council consideration as to the two City Council
Members who sit on the Dubuque Initiatives Board of Directors.
BACKGROUND
Dubuque Initiatives has been in existence since the 1980's and was originally formed to
developed industrial land in Dubuque to facilitate business expansion and recruitment.
The organization's mission is to work as a community partner to undertake challenging
projects involving job creation and community revitalization that improve the quality of
life for the citizens of Dubuque.
Dubuque Initiatives has taken a downtown focus in recent years after seeing most of the
original Dubuque Industrial Center be developed. Other projects Dubuque Initiatives has
been or is involved with are; Weber Building redevelopment, rehabilitation of the former
German Bank Building, and planning for the Dubuque Warehouse District.
Dubuque Initiatives has a nine member board which consists of the following:
• Mayor of Dubuque
• Two City Council Members
• Dubuque City Manager
• Executive Director of the Greater Dubuque Development Corporation
• Four At-Large Directors selected by the Dubuque Initiatives Board.
DISCUSSION
The bylaws of Dubuque Initiatives state "the two City Council members shall be
appointed by the Dubuque City Council at the first meeting of the Dubuque City Council
in January and immediately take office." Currently, Ann Michalski and Kevin Lynch
serve as the City Council representatives.
P.O. Box 174.5 DUBUQUE. IA 52004,- 1745 (563) 589-4,393
Since Ann Michalski will be leaving the City Council in January, the Council will need to
select a new member to sit on the Board. Dubuque Initiatives believes this person
should be committed to the success of the downtown.
The Dubuque Initiatives Board regularly meets the second Monday of every month at
noon in the City Hall Annex. The Board may move the monthly meeting to a different
Monday if attendance is expected to be low at the normal second Monday meeting time.
RECOMMENDATION/ACTION STEP
I ask that the City Council appoint their representatives to the Dubuque Initiatives Board
of Directors at the first council meeting in January which is January 7, 2008.
