Message: Hello Sir / Madam,
I would like to formally introduce myself as an applicant for the Zoning Board of Appeals.
I have a strong interest in contributing to the city by serving on a board or commission, and I feel that the Zoning Board of Appeals
would be a good fit for my experiences and interests.
I have worked in the construction industry for 20 years, and in 2018 started a company with my brother to continue to serve that
industry. Over the past several years, I have followed the vacancies and openings on the different boards and commissions, and in
finding one that I believe I would be a great fit for, I would like to take the opportunity to serve on it.
Please let me know if there is anything else that you would like to know about me or my experience. I look forward to speaking with
you in the future.
Thank you, and have a great day!
Matt Mauss

2. Masters of Organizational Leadership from Clarke University
3. 15 years' experience in Environmental
Education/Interpretation and in the design of Conservation
Programming on Rivers of the United States.
4. I currently lead the newly minted Conservation Programs
Department at the National Mississippi River Museum &
Aquarium. 2020 marks the beginning of a movement at the
River Museum were we aspire to inspire positive conservation
behavior changes in our many communities. We now ask our
constituents join us and Take C.A.A.R.E., to take Conservation
Action through Advocacy, Research, and Engagement.
What contributions can you
make or state reason for
applying?
Describe your experience
working in diverse
environments:
I am applying for this commission because I am passionate
about our waterways, and even more passionate about our
people. The Catfish Creek Watershed Management Authority
and the Dubuque County Soil and Water Conservation District
have done amazing work in creating a more resilient Catfish
Creek Watershed. The primary contributions I bring to this
commission are one, experience engaging with people in
conservation and inspiring actions at home, at work, at school
etc., which will further contribute and build upon the work of the
CCWMA. Two, connections to national education and research
bodies through the River Museum and our many conservation
networks.
In my career over the past 15 years I have been blessed to
have working in a diverse array of environments, geographies,
and with the most amazing people and communities. In the
past 15 years I have engaged people in conservation education
in university settings, environmental interpretive centers,
residential environmental education centers, and in museums
and aquariums in Washington, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
2
Texas, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. The people living
in this communities experience the world in many different
ways and have faced many successes and challenges that I
have not experienced while growing up in Dubuque County.
One major commonality I have experienced working all across
the county however, it that people are amazing, people want to
go good, and that there are very few people who maliciously
act towards our waters and our other natural resources. I will
bring this mindset to this commission and work broadly with the
diverse arrays of peoples and values throughout the Catfish
Creek Watershed and beyond.
Describe your experience
engaging other community
members to gather their
input and opinions:
List two references:

phone number)
Are you currently serving on
other Boards, Commissions,
or Committees?
If yes, which?
Have you served on a
Board, Commission, or
Committee before?
If yes, which?
Have you participated in
the City Life program?
If so, when?
When designing conservation engagement and education
programming it is paramount to understand what your
audiences need are, where there interests lie, and where
barriers to participation exist etc. I do not create a program that
does not already have an audience. In my work in particular,
there are four major communities which are engaged in
programming decisions. Our internal museum and aquarium
community, our conservation partners community, our
educational communities, and our broader community of
families and residents in the tri states. In my role at the river
museum and in our community. I am here to help, fill a hole
and help accomplish a need. This is how I approach my work
and how I will approach my responsibilities as a member of the
Catfish Creek Watershed Management Authority.

I am a licensed architect with a passion for historic preservation. My
experience on the Historic Preservation Commission, as an architect,
and as the owner of an historic home provide unique qualifications.
I have been on the Historic Preservation Commission for some time
and am interested in continuing to serve. I would like to further my
impact and assist in providing educational opportunities to those
interested in preservation.
Professionally, I interact with individuals from a variety of backgrounds
and life experiences throughout Iowa and the neighboring states. I
have met a variety of Dubuquers through my time on the commission
and am interested in furthering this interaction.
One of the cornerstones of the Historic Preservation Commission is
meeting with individuals about their proposed investment in property
in Dubuque. Taking a homeowners voice into consideration is critical
in order to make a measured decision. Professionally, we utilize a
public -driven process on our projects, where engaging with
community members is important.

Bachelor of Arts and Master of Theology Degrees taught me much
about the use of libraries; the past four years have taught me much
about their administration.
The current difficulties (COVID-19, necessary budget cuts, etc.) call
for experience, creativity, and understanding of procedures. I do not
wish to end my time with the Board just when things get tough.
As a United Methodist pastor I worked with people from different
economic and social strata, including those of different races and

building of community from diversity. And as an amateur actor I have
worked with (and portrayed) people from many backgrounds.
I have developed a large circle of friends and acquaintances through
church, theater, the arts community, and the library. I am not afraid to
ask their opinions, and, for the most part, they are not afraid to give
them.

Christym@fehdesign.com
I am a licensed architect with experience and expertise in library
design. My role on the Library Board of Trustees has given me a
deeper understanding of the role libraries play in the community,
which is something I would like to help maintain and broaden.
I have a passion for libraries and have greatly enjoyed my time on the
Library Board of Trustees. I would like to continue to serve as a
trustee.
I am able to work with people who have a variety of backgrounds,
since that is what I do on a professional level and what I have done in
my roles on a Board and a Commission.
The library is a resource for all the people of Dubuque. It is important

Semi -retired
Major, USAF (Retired); Former Division Director, Rincon Research
Corporation
dkb@mediacombb.net
I've served on the Resilient Community Advisory Commission since
2017 and the Community Development Advisory Commission since
2016. I have gained significant understanding and experience
regarding some of Dubuque's challenges and opportunities.
Additionally, I believe that my 30-years of experience in intelligence
collections, analysis, operations, systems engineering and managing
programs as an Air Force officer and division director has prepared
me to effectively serve as a member of the Resilient Community
Advisory Commission. My education, BS in math and computer
science and an MS in electrical engineering, has given me extensive
training to think systematically, decompose problems, break solutions
into achievable steps and analyze data.
I now serve on the Community Development Advisory Commission,
Dubuque College Attainment Network and United Way Investment
Review Panel.
As a seven-year member of the Dubuque community, I am impressed
with the community's public spirit and the cooperation among all
sectors here. I would like to continue to try to contribute a small part to
applying?

moving Dubuque forward.
In particular, I am applying for this commission to leverage my
systems engineering and analysis expertise along with interest (and
growing experience) in economic prosperity and social/cultural
vibrancy to support Dubuque's resiliency goals. Admittedly, though a
proponent, I'm still a neophyte regarding environmental integrity. As a
volunteer income tax preparer since 2004, I have come to understand
some of the challenges faced by low-income residents. While working
at Rincon Research as a division director, member of the business
development committee and program manager for internal research
and development efforts, I gained an understanding of what's required
to grow a business.
I would like to continue to leverage my experience and expertise to
support the Dubuque community by serving on this commission.
In Dubuque, I've participated in many Inclusive Dubuque working
groups. And, I have volunteered with Operation New View and AARP
to prepare tax returns for low-income residents. Through these
organizations, I've worked with residents with a wide range of
backgrounds and experiences.
Before moving to Dubuque in 2013, I spent most of my career working
in diverse environments. During my career in the Air Force, I lived in
Japan (3 years), United Kingdom (3 years) and Australia (2 years)
while working in multi -national and multi -service organizations.
As a foreigner living in (not just visiting) other countries, I gained a
little appreciation of what's it like not to know the local language nor
the correct cultural norms.
And, of course, the Air Force itself strives to be representative of our
country while providing equal opportunity and outcomes without
regard to gender, race or ethnicity.
Prior to moving to Dubuque, when not overseas, I lived and worked in
Maryland, Virginia and Arizona.
As a member of the Community Development and Resilient
Community Advisory Commissions, I've had the opportunity to hear
community members offer opinions and comments. Additionally, while
participating in Inclusive Dubuque working groups focused on
education and economic prosperity I've been exposed to many other
points of view.

people of all walks of life.

Title 16
Chapter 8-1
ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
Amendment Adopted 8-17-15
Amended 9-19-16
A. Board Created.
There is hereby created the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
B. Purpose:
The purpose of the board is to review applications regarding criteria for granting of
special exceptions, conditional use permits, or variances; to decide citizens' appeals of
orders, requirements, decisions, or determinations made by Planning Services staff;
and to hear cases given by applicants and decide whether the request should be
granted based on the criteria set forth in the Zoning Ordinance.
C. Internal Organization and Rules:
The board may adopt rules and regulations to govern its organizational procedures as
may be necessary and which are not in conflict with this Code of Ordinances or the
Iowa Code.
D. Procedures for Operation:
All administrative, personnel, accounting, budgetary, and procurement policies of the
city govern the board in all its operations.
E. Membership:
1. The board comprises five (5) residents of the city, appointed by the city
council.
2. Residents must be eighteen (18) years of age or older.
3. Two (2) members from the board must be appointed as cross -representatives
to the Airport Zoning Board of Adjustment, with city council approval.
4. A majority of the members of the board must be persons representing the
public at -large and must not be involved in the business of purchasing or selling
real estate.
5. Membership on the board must comply with the provisions of Iowa Code
§69.16A, relating to gender balance. No person can be appointed or reappointed
to the board if that appointment or reappointment would cause the number of
members of one gender to be greater than one-half (1/2) of the membership of the
board plus one (1). If the city has made a good faith effort to appoint a qualified
person to fill a vacancy on the board for a period of three (3) months but has
been unable to make a compliant appointment, the city must utilize a fair and
unbiased method of selecting the best qualified applicants.
F. Oath:
Each person, upon appointment or reappointment to the board, must execute an oath of
office at the first meeting of the board following the appointment or reappointment or at
the city clerk's office any time prior to the first meeting of the board.
G. Terms.
The term of office for members of the board is five (5) years or until such member's
successor is appointed and qualified. The terms of the cross -representative appointees
to the Airport Zoning Board of Adjustment must serve a term on the Airport Zoning
Board of Adjustment which coincides with their terms on the Zoning Board of
Adjustment.
H. Vacancies:
Vacancies must be filled in the same manner as original appointments.
I. Officers/Organization:
The board must choose annually a chairperson and vice -chairperson, each to serve a
term of one (1) year. The chairperson must appoint a secretary, who need not be a
member of the board. The board must fill a vacancy among its officers for the remainder
of the officer's unexpired term.
J. Meetings.
1. Meetings: Meetings may be called by the chairperson or at the written request of
a majority of the members.
2. Open Meetings: All meetings must be called and held in conformance with the
Iowa open meetings law.
3. Attendance:
a. In the event a member of the board has been absent for three (3) or more
consecutive meetings of the board, without being excused by the chairperson,
such absence will be grounds for the board to recommend to the city council that
the position be declared vacant and a replacement appointed.
b. Attendance must be entered upon the minutes of all meetings.
4. Minutes: A copy of the minutes of all regular and special meetings of the board
must be filed with the city council within ten (10) working days after each meeting,
or by the next regularly scheduled city council meeting, whichever is later.
5. Quorum: The concurring vote of three (3) members of the board is necessary to
reverse any order, requirement, decision, or determination of any such
administrative official, or to decide in favor of the applicant on any matter upon
which it is required to pass under any such ordinance or to effect any variation in
such ordinance.
K. Compensation:
Members serve without compensation, provided that they may receive reimbursement
for necessary travel and other expenses while on official board business within the limits
established in the city administrative policies and budget.
L. Removal:
The city council may remove any member for cause upon written charges and after a
public hearing.
M. Powers:
The board has the following powers, duties, and responsibilities:
1. To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is error in any order,
requirement, decision, or determination made by an administrative official in the
enforcement of Iowa Code Chapter 414, as such may be amended from time to
time, or any ordinance adopted pursuant thereto.
2. To hear and decide special exceptions to the terms of this Code upon which
such board is required to pass under such ordinance, in accordance with the
general regulations of the zone in which the property is located and specific
standards contained herein.
3. To hear and decide conditional use permits under the terms of this Code upon
which such board is required to pass under such ordinance, in accordance with
the general regulations of the zone in which the property is located and specific
standards contained herein.
4. To authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variance from the terms of the
ordinance as will not be contrary to the public interest, where owing to special
conditions a literal enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance will result in
unnecessary hardship, and so that the spirit of the ordinance must be observed
and substantial justice done.
In exercising the above -mentioned powers such board may, in conformity with the
provisions of this section, reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the order,
requirement, decision, or determination appealed from and may make such order
requirement, decision, or determination as ought to be made, and to that end shall have
all the powers of the officer from whom the appeal is taken.

I have worked in the construction industry for over twenty years,
developing a knowledge of construction processes and how they
affect the design, appearance and functionality of structures.
I believe that I can provide an honest and impartial opinion regarding
applications for building code variances. I would like to contribute to
the progress that the city is making. It would be my ultimate goal to
serve on the city council, and in talking to multiple former council
members, they advised that I serve on a board or commission. In
looking over the list of vacancies, I feel that the Zoning Board of
Adjustment would be one that I can contribute the most to, given my
knowledge and experience.
I have worked in both small and medium sized organizations, all of
which had a combined workforce of men, women and people of a
different ethnic background than my own. For the past 25 years, any
positions that I have held have had me in direct contact with
customers or the general public. I fell as though my ability to work and
communicate with anyone is one of my strengths.

69.16A Gender balance.
1. All appointive boards, commissions, committees, and councils of the state
established by the Code, if not otherwise provided by law, shall be gender balanced.
No person shall be appointed or reappointed to any board, commission, committee, or
council established by the Code if that appointment or reappointment would cause the
n umber of members of the board, commission, committee, or council of one gender to
be greater than one—half the membership of the board, commission, committee, or
council plus one if the board, commission, committee, or council is composed of an odd
n umber of members. If the board, commission, committee, or council is composed of
an even number of members, not more than one—half of the membership shall be of one
gender. If there are multiple appointing authorities for a board commission, committee,
o r council, they shall consult each other to avoid a violation of this section.
2 All appointive boards commissions, committees, and councils of a political
subdivision of the state that are established by the Code, if not otherwise provided by
law, shall be gender balanced as provided by subsection 1 unless the political
subdivision has made a good faith effort to appoint a qualified person to fill a vacancy
o n a board, commission, committee, or council in compliance with subsection 1 for a
period of three months but has been unable to make a compliant appointment. In
complying with the requirements of this subsection political subdivisions shall utilize a
fair and unbiased method of selecting the best qualified applicants. This subsection
shall not prohibit an individual whose term expires prior to January 1, 2012, from being
reappointed even though the reappointment continues an inequity in gender balance.

New geriiIer balanced boards von irements for cities
Iowa has required gender balance on state -level boards and commissions for many years, under
Iowa Code section 69.16A. Last session, the General Assembly passed legislation that applies
this requirement to the local level. This QBE.A explains background on the legislation, the new
requireme = in tl ation for cities and how cities can co • •.
Q: What are the new requirements for gender balance on city
boards and commissions?
A: During the 2009 legislative session, legislation (HF243) was
passed that extends to cities and counties gender balance require-
ment for all appointive boards, commissions, committees and
councils created by the Iowa code. In other words, bodies cities
are required to have under Iowa code when they provide certain
functions or services, such as the planning and zoning commission,
library boards and the board of adjustment, with appointed (not
elected) members, must be gender balanced.
Q: What does `gender balanced' mean?
A: Gender balance means if the body has an even number of ap-
pointees, it must be evenly made up of men and women. For exam-
ple, three women and three men must serve on a six member board.
If the body has an odd number- of appointees, it must be "one half
plus one" of either gender. For instance, if there are five members,
three could be men and the other two women, or vice versa.
Q: When do the changes go into effect?
A: Cities must have gender balanced boards, commissions, com-
mittees and councils by January 1, 2012. This does not prohibit an
individual whose term expires prior to January 1, 2012, from being
reappointed even though the reappointment continues an inequity
in gender balance; however, cities should start planning upcoming
appointments now, to ensure gender balance is reached by that date.
Making a chart of existing boards and upcoming vacancies, and/
or keeping track of current appointments and necessary recruit-
ing periods would be a good start to ensuring your city is tracking
gender balance, and is prepared for the January 1, 2012 implementa-
tion date.
Q : Is there any option if my city simply cannot find a person to
serve on the board or commission of the needed gender?
A: Yes. Under the new code section, cities that make a good faith
effort to find a qualified person of the necessary gender to fill the
position for a period of three months and are unable to do so may
appoint a person to the position regardless of the gender balance
requirement.
Q : What constitutes a "good faith effort"?
A: There is no hard and fast definition, but cities should be able
to demonstrate a legitimate effort during the three month time
period to recruit qualified members of the necessary gender, before
appointing a member that creates gender imbalance. In addition,
the legislation requires that cities must always `utilize a fair and
unbiased method of selecting the best qualified applicants," regard-
less of gender.
Q : Is there a reporting requirement?
A: No. The legislation did not include a reporting requirement;
however, many cities keep information on their boards and
commissions —including current members- posted online, to better
inform citizens of the makeup of local governing bodies.
Q : How can I recruit more women or men to volunteer for
these positions?
A: The Commission on the Status of Women has prepared a guide
to help cities learn how to recruit gender balanced boards and com-
missions. This resource can be found at www.women.iowa.gov/
whats_new/index.html. The Commission also prepared a guide
called the "Five Step Guide to City and County Boards and How to
Get Appointed" to be used as a tool by interested women to learn
more about how to get involved in city boards and commissions.

FOX Engineering has received a 2008 Governor's Iowa Environmental Excellence Award in the
Water Quality category. Undertaken for the city of North Liberty, this project involves a membrane
bioreactor method of treating wastewater and provides a significantly higher effluent water quality
compared to conventional wastewater treatment processes. Used on a limited basis in the U.S.
it is the first of its kind in Iowa. The city has certainly "gone the extra mile" to improve the water
quality in their receiving stream; they are to be commended for their foresight and respect for
the environment. FOX would also like to acknowledge the contributions of the city's consulting
engineer, Shive-Hattery Engineering and Architecture.
"Your efforts truly exhibit the leadership and innovation important for furthering environmental
susfainability in Iowa." Governor Chester Culver
