Melinda,
Please forward to our Mayor and Dubuque City Council members the attached list of current
Comprehensive Plan elements I believe should remain in the proposed plan revision. Although
understand their need to update our plan, some changes would diminish the effect of the plan. Also,
much of the proposed changes clearly dilute the language while no longer representing the voice of
Dubuque citizens and our community.
Thank you.
Lou Oswald

Subject: Correction to January UDC Bluffland Committee meeting date
My apologies to all. I had scheduled the January UDC Bluffland Committee meeting on Monday
January 14th by mistake. It should have been scheduled for Tuesday, January 15th. I did move the
date using our Groupwise Scheduling System, but wanted to explain why the meeting date had
changed.
If you have any questions, please email or call me at 589-4210. Again, I apologize for any
confusion.
