I hope that my I; application will be approved and now ask to have the opportunity to serve as the Zoning Advisory Commission representative on the p Resilient Community Advisory Commission. Having this cross representation on the RCAC has been very valuable. It allows me to �� bring the message of resiliency back to the ZAC and also to bring the challenges and ideas from ZAC back to RCAC. I've also enjoyed i the opportunity to hear from the other commissions represented there. I feel fortunate to be a part of the initial RCAC members.We � continue to learn and grow and research the opportunities and challenges of making Dubuque a very resilient community. I have � taken time to review the new comprehensive plan and listened to many presentations and asked questions to increase my � understanding. I woulcf like very much to continue to build on my contributions to the RCAC as the ZAC representative. I am unabfe " to attend the meeting on June 18 but hope this message will convey my enthusiasm for the opportunity to continue my service. � � u Click here to report this email as spam. � � 1 '� �� s CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA - BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Olndicates State-mandated board/commission As prepared for the Council Meeting 7-2-18 subject to the 2012 Gender Balance Law.
