City Council Members

Dear Mr. Mayor and Council Members:
At its August 2010 meeting, the Environmental Stewardship Advisory Commission
heard a presentation from Erich Schmeichel on the Urban Conservation Program and
Watershed Management Plan for Catfish Creek.
The Commission voted to support this program and requests the City Council show their
support for the program through funding the City of Dubuque portion outlined in the
plan. The Commission agrees with the goal of the plan, which is to improve the water
quality in the Mississippi River by improving the contributing streams and watershed in
the area.
Thank you for your consideration and we hope you support and fund the Urban
Conservation Program and Watershed Management Plan for the Catfish Creek
watershed basin.
Sincerely,
Wahine Klostermann, Chair
Environmental Stewardship Advisory Commission
