Dear Roy:
I was delighted to have had the pleasure of hosting the awards event at the Iowa
League of Cities Conference and wanted to personally follow up with you. I want
to extend my congratulations on behalf of the National League of Cities (NLC) for
Dubuque winning the 2010 All -Star Community Award in the Sustainability
Recognition category. Your Sustainable Dubuque was most impressive and I
appreciated seeing the video presentation.
NLC is committed to strengthening and promoting cities as centers of opportunity,
leadership, and governance. Your exemplary program demonstrates a strong
commitment to improving the quality of life in the City of Dubuque.
Your program exhibits the type of innovation that NLC's Awards for Municipal
Excellence program recognizes, and I strongly encourage you to apply for this
award. The deadline for the 2010 awards has passed, but we will be sending you
information about the awards program in the future.
I am continually impressed with the dedication and commitment that efforts such as
this require. Please extend my congratulations to all who have participated in this
successful program.
Very trul •urs,
(/
