employment, education, credit, or places of public accommodation; to investigate and study the
existence, character, causes, and extent of discrimination and to attempt to eliminate
discrimination by educating the public and promoting human rights in the community; and to

discrimination based on age, race, creed, color, sex, national origin, religion, ancestry, disability,
marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
8-2-3: INTERNAL ORGANIZATION AND RULES:
The commission may adopt rules and regulations to govern its organizational procedures as

All administrative, personnel, accounting, budgetary, and procurement policies of the city govern
the commission in all its operations.
8-2-5: MEMBERSHIP:
A. The commission comprises nine (9) residents of the city, appointed by the city council
from various racial, religious, cultural, and social groups within the city.
B. Residents must be eighteen (18) years of age or older.
C. Membership on the commission must comply with the provisions of Iowa Code §69.16A,
relating to gender balance. No person can be appointed or reappointed to the commission if that
appointment or reappointment would cause the number of members of one gender to be greater
than one-half (I) of the membership of the commission plus one (1). If the city has made a
good faith effort to appoint a qualified person to fill a vacancy on the commission 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.
8-2-6: OATH:
Each person, upon appointment or reappointment to the commission, must execute an oath of
office at the first meeting of the commission following the appointment or reappointment or at
the city clerk's office any time prior to the first meeting of the commission.
8-2-7: TERMS:
The term of office for commissioners is three (3) years or until such commissioner's successor is
appointed and qualified.
8-2-8: VACANCIES:
Vacancies must be filled in the same manner as original appointments.
8-2-9: OFFICERS/ORGANIZATION:
The commissioners must choose annually a chairperson and vice -chairperson, each to serve a

the commission. The commissioners must fill a vacancy among its officers for the remainder of
the officer's unexpired term.
8-2-10: MEETINGS:
A. Regular Meetings. The commission must meet monthly.
B. Special Meetings. Special meetings may be called by the chairperson or at the written
request of a majority of the commissioners.
C. Open Meetings. All meetings must be called and held in conformance with the Iowa
Open Meetings Law.
D. Attendance.
1. In the event a commissioner has been absent for three (3) or more consecutive
meetings of the commission, without being excused by the chairperson, such absence
will be grounds for the commission to recommend to the city council that the position be
declared vacant and a replacement appointed.
2. Attendance must be entered upon the minutes of all meetings.
E. Minutes. A copy of the minutes of all regular and special meetings of the commission
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.

affirmative vote of a majority of the commissioners present and voting is necessary for the
adoption of any motion or resolution.

necessary travel and other expenses while on official commission business within the limits
established in the city administrative policies and budget.
8-2-12: REMOVAL:
The city council may remove any commissioner for cause upon written charges and after public
hearing.
8-2-13: POWERS:
The commission has the following powers, duties, and responsibilities:
A. To receive, investigate, and finally determine the merits of complaints alleging unfair or
discriminatory practices.
B. To investigate and study the existence, character, causes, and extent of discrimination
in public accommodations, employment, apprenticeship programs, on-the-job training
programs, vocational schools, other educational institutions, and housing in the city and
to attempt the elimination of such discrimination by education and conciliation.
C. To hold hearings upon any complaint made against a person, an employer, an
employment agency, a labor organization, or the employees or members thereof, to
subpoena witnesses and compel their attendance at such hearings, to administer oaths
and take the testimony of any person under oath and to compel such person, employer,
employment agency, labor organization, or employees or members thereof, to produce
for examination any books and papers relating to any matter involved in such complaint.
The commission will issue subpoenas for witnesses in the same manner and for the
same purpose on behalf of the respondent upon the respondent's request. Such hearings
may be held by the commission, by any commissioner, or by any hearing examiner
appointed by the commission. If a witness either fails or refuses to obey a subpoena
issued by the commission, the commission may petition the district court having
jurisdiction for issuance of a subpoena and the court must, in a proper case, issue the
subpoena. Refusal to obey such subpoena is subject to punishment for contempt.
D. To issue such publication and reports of investigations and research as in the
judgment of the commission to promote civil and respectful behavior which tends to
eliminate discrimination.
E. To prepare and transmit to the mayor and city council from time to time, but not less
often than once each year, reports describing its proceedings, investigations, hearings
conducted, and the outcome thereof, decisions rendered, and the other work performed
by the commission.
F. To make recommendations to the city council concerning discrimination.
G. To cooperate, within the limits of any appropriations made for its operation, with other
agencies or organizations, both public and private, whose purposes are consistent with

the enforcement of this Chapter.

J. To receive, administer, dispense, and account for any restricted funds that may be
voluntarily contributed to the commission and any grants that may be awarded the
commission for furthering the purposes of this Title. No disbursements will be made of
any restricted funds without authority from the city council.
8-2-14: RECORDS TO BE PUBLIC; EXCEPTIONS:
All records of the commission are public except charges, complaints, reports of investigations,
statements, and other documents or records obtained in investigation of any charges.
8-2-15: CONFIDENTIALITY OF COMPLAINTS:
No member of the commission or its staff will disclose the filing of a charge, the information
gathered during the investigation, or the endeavors to eliminate such discriminatory or unfair
practice by conference, conciliation, or persuasion unless such disclosure is made in connection
with the conduct of such investigation or after the commission has held a public hearing upon a
complaint filed in connection with such charge. This Section does not prevent any complainant,
witness, or other person from publicizing the filing of a charge or complaint or the matter therein
complained of.
8-2-16: SUBPOENAS:
The commission may issue subpoenas and order discovery in aid of investigations under this
Title. Such subpoenas and discovery may be ordered to the same extent and subject to the
same limitations as would apply for county attorney subpoenas.

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
number 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
number 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,
or 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
on 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 gender balanced boards requirements 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 Q&A explains background on the legislation, the new
requirements in the legislation for cities and how cities can comply.
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.

Celebrating an environmental victory
FOX Engineering has received a 2008 Govemor'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
sustainability in Iowa." Governor Chester Culver
