HomeMy WebLinkAboutA009 - Letter to Mayor and Council from Sam Schulte dated November 17, 2016 November 17, 2016 !
Dear Mayor Campbell, City Council, and City Staff:
After discussing the Campus and Community Commission (CCC) at the March 22"d City Council meeting,
City Council desired support from the Iowa State University senior-level administration and Iowa State
University Student Government prior to creating a new commission.
Here, I provide letters of support from Iowa State University President Steven Leath and from Iowa State
University Student Government President Cole Staudt and Vice President Cody West. I have also
attached a resolution from the Iowa State University Student Government Senate,which voted
unanimously(24-0-0) in support of creating the CCC on April 20th. Additionally, I met with Senior Vice
President for Student Affairs Martino Harmon,who expressed "100%"support for the CCC and
encouraged me to keep his division abreast of issues the Commission discusses.
The prospective CCC generated a fair amount of discussion last semester, including an April 20th article
by the Iowa State Daily Editorial Board encouraging the implementation of the CCC.
Lastly, I remind you that the Campustown Action Association supports the CCC and signed a letter of
support to Council in February.
Given the support of the Iowa State University administration,Student Government, and broader Iowa
State community, I hope we can move forward in creating the Campus and Community Commission.
Sincerely,
I
